Default Redzee

Anybody have any experience with redzee.com? They are offering to get me on the top 3 for my area. Cost is $500, 5 cents per click. If it were google the deal would be fantastic. But who uses redzee?

I spoke with them some time ago as well, total scam. The rep I spoke with had a difficult time answering some basic questions that I asked. Don't waste your time, have them remove you from their list(s).

As a rule, ANY one that offers for you to "buy" your way to the top is either doing PPC (which you can easily do yourself) OR they are lying to you.

The only instant way to get to the top of an SE is to pay for an ad there. The only way to get there for organic search is to optimize CAREFULLY and CONSISTENTLY over time.

Best;

Eric

RedZee is nothing but bogus. If you have purchased key phrases in their "top 3" ppc program, every single hit that comes from either their search engine or their spybar is a bounce.

I'll say this again because it is very important:

Every single hit that comes from either their search engine or their spybar is a bounce.

Excluding my own testing, in every single case where an IP address has entered my sites from the redzee search engine - either directly from their search engine or from browsers that have the redzee spybar installed, which appends redzee "top 3" ppc results to the top of the Google, MSN or Yahoo organic listings - that IP address goes no further than the landing page. In some cases, the IP bounces out before the entire landing page is requested from the server.

I have tested and confirmed this through exhaustive manual analysis of my raw log files. There is absolutely no doubt that the redzee "top 3" is a scam.

I have severed my relationship with redzee in total disgust.

I get so many calls from these people. I should tell them I have to go but to call back and give them a number to another company doing the same scam.
