"Real Estate Webmasters" google search - issues?

[MikeNY]

I knew your phoenixhomes.com avatar was your web site but I did not know what company has it now but I recall seeing it last year at AA.

I started with AA in Aug of 2006 and I was promised 4.0 within a week or 2 and is why I gave in and signed up (still have not gotten it). i do VERY well because I work on SEO and blogs etc but the company is horrible and falling apart fast. I will be done with them soon though.


I did not go with P2A but still may, because I heard they have some issues with froms? Is this true? What if any issues/drawbacks have you had with P2A and who did the site for you? Suzanne?

Matt - I removed your reference to PT - Not cool at all. If you are going to be subtly dropping PT promotions here (A direct violation of our TOS) your account will be disabled. Promotion of any product or service is already a violation of our TOS, the fact that you are plugging PT makes it even worse.

No problem.

But, I'm not selling anything so i didn't think you'd be so sensitive about mentioning one host or another, but I realize there are issues between you and Greg Boser somehow-someway (hind site is always 20/20). Any-who, I mentioned AA, Point2, PT, private hosting and more so I wasn't really trying to "plug" any one host.

For future reference, I won't mention PT again here.

Run and run fast from AA if you want your site to be around in the future.

As for Point2, forms work fine for me but it isn't really a site I concentrate on, ever. As I said before, I'm only using them because I have their highest upgraded hosting free for life.

My Phoenix site is on my own server and my employee Max Chirkov created and designed it and moved all my content over from AA when he started with me in November of 2006. We went live with the new site in the spring of 2007 and that is when my AA nightmare ended.

BTW, AA was a great experience for me back when Kristina and her dad owned and ran things so it kinda hurts to talk bad about them. Ever since the promise of the now antiquated 4.0 and the sale to Dominion the place is a mess that can not be fixed IMO.

Matt - there is nothing wrong with mentioning ANY website company that you host with, PT included. However what you posted was clearly promotional. Had you posted "I use AA, point2 and PT" that would have been fine but...

PT is only $150 a month, well worth it everyone should get one - I have been seeing these kinds of posts from PT members all over the place really trying to push people into buying into them - when you go out of your way to promote one host over the other in a clearly biased manner it looks very suspicious - you were not promoting your web guy, Point2, or AA (Point2 and your web guy you are obviously also happy with) why so much emphasis, encouragement, listing of price etc on PT - there is a clear bias and intent - just my personal feeling.

No problem.

And yes I am clearly pissed with Greg and likely very sensitive to anyone promoting something being sold by someone who constantly organizes spam reports, encourages the defamation of myself and my members, optimizes for my company name, encourages others ever more libelous behavior etc - It's not a secret, I think Greg Boser is a complete scumbag - but the fact remains, had you pushed any other provider with the same bias and included as much promotional information (What you posted about PT looked like forum spam we see around here) I still would have reacted the same way. I think it's ignorant when people chime in on a competing web companies forum trying to push a competing product.
