TRAFFIC ASSISTANTS: $3/hour Virtual Assistants in India trained in SEO run by Richard East, Susan East, Nick Dunnin, Harris Fellman, Paul Schriner. [ OMS3, trafficassistants.com ]

They claim to sell you 160 hours labor for $700, or even discounted to under $3/hr. (how do they make profit charging only $3/hr? easy, they don't do the work!)

The claim these Indian traffic assitants (TA) or virtual assistants (VA) are trained by them in all the leading edge SEO (search engine optimization) and SEM (search engine marketing) strategies.

You are given a communication panel interface to select jobs and post details and have 2 way communication with them.

SERVICES:

Directory submissions: They didn't even return the verification emails. In short, I show no backlinks or traffic as a result. You can buy a $49 software that does the same thing. They billed me for $700 of my hours on account.

Social bookmarking: My experience like others I’ve contacted. Executed so poorly it reeked of rotten spam and I stopped their work. Technically some of us still have a credit remaining with them, but it's useless. They won’t issue refunds.

Google Adwords keyword research: Done so superficially that the list is useless.

I have spoken with 10 others who share my exact experiences. I have never met anyone who claims to have gotten good results or their money’s worth.

I’ve received threats from associates of these people (but never directly from them) to stop posting nasties, or risk the same to be done about myself.

The funny thing is, with such a powerful SEO team at their disposal, you think they could bury my bad comments down to page 100 of Google, but there I am, still on page 1, in some cases outranking their very own site!

UPDATE:

One of my clients said a friend of Harris told him that Harris is no longer with the company and that they parted ways due to the crap service being offered.

I can’t confirm that because I have not ever received a reply from Harris despite 20+ contact attempts.

I checked his Linkedin profile and he still lists his affiliation with them as being current.

None of these people will reply to email or skype contacts.

All they would have to do is refund my clients who invested with them, but apparently they are not as wealthy as they claim. The total bill is under $10,000. You think you’d pay that to make this Google Page-1 bad publicity go away.

This company is still actively promoting their services.
