First off I now know the error of my ways by going with internet advancement as a seo in the first place. This is the letter they sent me when I told them I was going to cancel and want my 50% refund. Hell, they don't even know my first name, who the hell is Dwight? My name is Dave! You'd think they know that after 6 months! Still, I thought you guys might get a kick out of this.

Hello Dwight,
As one of the individuals devoted to the success of our clients, I
wanted to be the first to tell you about some very exiting changes that are
taking place here at Internet Advancement. We are currently changing are
focus from search engine placement as a primary service, to actually
providing our clients with pre-screen and pre-qualified traffic which is
something that's not been possible until now. Up to this point, Internet
Advancement has only been able to provide our clients with first and second
page positions that would assist with the task of providing more visibility
for the site. Our goal in doing this was to increase the probability that
you would see an increase in things such as traffic and visitors. In the
past, we have had no way of making people go to your site and/or purchase
your products but under the leadership of the companies new CEO, we have
devised a way to direct targeted traffic to your site. This will greatly
increase the chances of converting visitors to actual sales, which is the
goal of our efforts to begin with. Although we still have no way of making
people purchase your products, we've found that with the new programs that
are being offered in conjunction with the continued efforts to gain search
engine placement, we have a much better chance of making sure that your
being seen by people that are looking for your products.
I've been made aware of your request for refund and I am concerned
about the fact that this has not worked out as you had initially expected.
We're concerned about the longevity of the relationships that we establish
with our clients and we're positive that you'll see immediate benefits from
the traffic that we'll be providing. I have been asked by our CEO to present
you with a proposal in lieu of your recently submitted request for refund.
We are offering you 4 months of pre-qualified traffic in lieu of the refund
associated with the warranty from your original service agreement. You will
receive a new agreement that will supercede your original agreement and in
addition to providing you with targeted traffic averaging 100 pre-qualified
hits per month, we would still continue with the work necessary to gain the
rankings for your site. Over the course of the next 4 months, you will not
be billed any fees in association with the traffic or the work that's still
being done to gain rankings for the site.
In addition, any remaining balance associated with the original set-up of
your account will be written off entirely so there will be nothing left to
pay. Before the 4 months have passed, you will be contacted in effort to
evaluate how the traffic program has benefited your business. At this point
if you wish to continue with the search engine placement, you have the
option of continuing on a month-to-month basis, paying only the monthly
maintenance fees originally associated with your account or you will have
the option of actually purchasing more traffic. We are pleased to boast that
in the very near future, we will be in a position to offer clients even more
targeted traffic as this is going to be an integral focus of Internet
Advancement. Please understand that we value the opportunity to have you
remain a client of Internet Advancement and we are willing to do what we can
to make sure that you are receiving a service that is worthy of retention.
Please let me know how this proposal finds you as I am excited to be able to
offer this program and I'm certain that this will prove to be of great
benefit to the success of your online business. In the event that you wish
to take advantage of this exciting new opportunity, please let me know and I
will have one of the companies liaisons get in touch with you regarding the
new agreement. Thank you for your time and your attention to this matter and
I will look forward to speaking with you very soon. Nice read, thanks dude! Let us know how it works out. Nice read. Thanks Well it’s sort of a good news bad news situation now. About 3 months ago after I realized internet advancement was an [link removed] I started my own SEO campaign. Yesterday I got an email from Internet Advancement stating that “they” had achieved my 1st page rankings. I’m 100% positive that it was my SEO that achieved my rankings. I know this because in a lot of cases it isn’t me main page that’s ranking for keywords, it’s internal pages. When I would adjust these internal pages my rankings would sometimes fall then I’d do other things and my pages would rise higher than they were before. Basically I fulfilled their end of the contract for them. They know I’m very upset with them and I’ve told them that if I don’t get my 50% refund I’m going to start a smear campaign against them. How hard do you think it would be to get them to rank #1 for “[link removed]”? Since I satisfied their contract for them I know I’ve got a tough task in getting my refund but I’ve always believe that if you feel you’ve been screwed tell as many people as you can. Any other ideas on how to scare them into giving me my refund?
