The Results Group

[theradioguy]

I have been talking to a company called the Results group. They have sites to drive traffic to ebay, and Amazon and others. This is an affiliate program a pay off for registrations for ebay and percentages for products sold by customers coming from your site. They offer 85 methods of promotion. Of these 85 there are 20 that are free. The sites pop up with animation selling the idea of ebay and Amozon.com with little content and after the 10 second animation is over you click on the appropriate logo to the site. The reason I got involved with this is they offered one on one coaching and weekly advertising planning.
However if content counts much for search engine ranking I don’t see how they will get me any with this site. Another thing I received mail from them promoting all this free advertising without getting specific then in a few hours I got a height pressure phone call trying me to buy 1500 unique visitors for a year. I had been told I could try the free methods and use that to buy paid methods. At this point I am planning on canceling. Does anyone have any thoughts or knowledge of this company.

What comes to my mind is the old saying:

If it seems to good to be true, it usually is.

I have had calls something like what you have described. They don't know that I do SEO work.

When I get into very specific details on how they can do it, I find that it doesn't always hold water. Or at the very least the idea itself is on shaky ground or sounds fishy.

They may infact be on the up and up, but they sound like the people who sell the Yellow pages on Yahoo. They clam it is the most used search on Yahoo {Which its not}. If someone didn't know better they would buy that.

I think you have to take it with a grain of salt. :)

IMHO, if they aren't an out-and-out scam, they seem to be very close to one. A former customer posted a lengthy message about them on the Amazon Associates boards, which basically said she'd put a lot of money in, but got nothing out.

Do a search on Google on "The Results Group" -- use the quotation marks. Check out some of the results....
