Beyond the edge...
People ask me all the time what it takes to be in the first position on google, yahoo, etc. I tell them they are asking the wrong question. You can find out the right question by contacting us or through one of our seminars. But the below is an example of how people get sucked in, taken advantage of and lose money. It was something I thought I should share with you so you can see a real life example of what goes on. What is also interesting is that you have a successful, senior executive in the industry for over 23 years and he still doesn't make the promises that these fraudulent companies make. Notice he didn't say he doesn't make guarantees. He just said he doesn't make those type of guarantees. So be careful...success is not an overnight journey.

I believe it is India. One time cost traffic means nothing. Clicks are not sales or conversions and can be driven to a site instantly by ethical and unethical means but what will they return and what will be their reaction when they find themselves on your site (if they truly make it there?). You want..."oh this is exactly what I was looking for "and not" how did I get here?) I would challenge a company like this to a discussion any day. But competition aside, if they could deliver useful clicks and advertisement wouldn't every ad firm beat down their door for only $499 and wouldn't they be charging more like the true value of $4999?
Just my 2 or 5 thoughts

Well stated LaMar.
I kid you not... I was on the phone with someone just recently. Has a sign business in Florida. He was getting lot of new clients from the web... most of his sales (I think he said 80%). He signed up for one of the SEO things. Suddenly he was getting almost no sales! He also found that many of the reputable search engines had black listed his site. He was struggling with what to do! What a terrible lesson to learn the hard way.

WOW!
It's scary anymore. But you gotta know who you're dealing with.
You know, I've been in Advertising and Marketing for 24 years now and I don't make those kinds of promises -- there's no way to guarantee.
It's just wrong...
