I recieved a phone call from Karen in sales at Internet Advancement about seven months ago.She seen my website and told me how well layed out it was and then she rambled on forever about how her company could get me ranked on the first page of search engines with a guarantee within 108 days.We talked well over an hour or should I say, SHE TALKED, about how successful I could become...and she became very aggressive almost to the point of not accepting no for an answer.

I told her I'd think about it.She called back the next day and eventually she got me to say yes. I choose plan 4 which cost $1200 up front and a $99 monthly service fee. Just let me say I knew nothing about search engine optimization , key word phrases , meta tags etc...

I get an email that had a tremendous amount of keyword phrases and I had to approve them so they could start. The email said to leave as many as possible so as to give them more chances to achieve the best possible rankings..What do I know, their the experts on this, so I approved them all.

Time passed(108 days) and hits on my site barely increased. I got the report on all my rankings and wouldn't you know it...I was ranked on the first page of 10 different search engines including Google. WOW I thought!!! But why didn't my hits dramatically increase.Well remember that list of keyword phrases they told me to approve...well there were many that weren't worth a d**n cause they are keywords that aren't searched for by consumers...and I didn't know it at the time, but I learned the hard way!

With that in mind anyone who is into this internet buisness knows that it is a lot easier to achieve a number one ranking on the first page on Google if you have a keyword phrase that is not used often, hence no competition.Check for yourself my # 1 ranking on Google by typing pro whey plex in Google's search engine.MY site WheyProteinPlus.com.

I've contacted Internet Advancement and their response was they honored their guarentee by getting me on the first page of 10 different search engines.That they did!!!But the only people that are going to see that # 1 ranking are those that read this rip-off report and type in that keyword phrase pro whey plex.

I hope I can deter anyone else from getting decieved by this company. They'll get you your # 1 ranking alright...guaranteed!!!
