Sorry Smart Traffic, Didn’t Know it’s Illegal to Give Bad Reviews
I’d like to apologies to Smart-Traffic.co.uk for giving them a negative review. They’ve informed me my review was illegal.
I received a phone call from them yesterday. Apparently they’ve been advised by their “lawyers” that they should take legal action against me if I leave my negative review of their company on my blog. I was told “just because you have a blog doesn’t mean you can say whatever you want.” I told him I was just reporting my experience. He said something along the lines of “it’s costing us money and you can’t prove everything I said was true” as the reason I have to take the review down.
So as they insisted the review has been removed from this website. You can now find the smart-traffic.co.uk review on a much more popular and high ranking website . You can rest assured that if Smart Traffic still have issues with this, I will seek more media coverage of the subject. Giving a bad service is one thing, threatening legal action against anyone openly reporting their experience is another. I’m not going to let a corporation get away with bullying tactics.
By the way Smart-Traffic, don’t bother calling me again. If you want to get in touch, you can email me, so that everything we both say is recorded. That seems fair doesn’t it?
I considered using this company to outsource some SEO work to and like you, I opted for them because they were top of google for a number of SEO related keywords. After leaving a message on their site, I received a phone call from one of their sales reps who went through the SEO pricing with me. I cant remember how much he wanted. I think I must have hit my head and knocked myself unconcious when I fell off my chair when he told me the price.
I totally agree these guys are useless, i spent £4500 and our website has not moved in 4 months, dont use them.
I too am putting together a blog and website about the Good Bad and Downright Nasty web marketers out there. Congratulations for exposing these people. When people are looking for a way to make an income, they don’t need to be sucked by useless and often grossly expensive systems, or, in my case a follow up by a boiler room trying to milk anything up to $22000!!!! for ‘mentoring’. It is our responsibility to help people, and be the good guys. My negative experiences will be just that – experiences. Publish and be damned! Let ‘em come and get me!
