WebMenu

WebMenu promised me that they would be able to provide 10,000 unique hits and leads to my website within a six month period. If I did not receive these leads they would give me an additional 6 months for free. They gave me a back office in order to be able to check the leads and hits that were coming in. Hits that were coming into my website were from the same few IP addresses over and over again.
In the six month period that I was with them, the website received NO WHERE NEAR the 10,000 hits, none the less "leads" that they guaranteed. As a matter of fact, I received only ONE actual "lead" in that 6 month time period. A lead is where someone actually clicked on my website and then signed in giving me their name and phone number so that I could call them.
Their "hits" are not actual hits to the website, but a request on your keywords that leads you to a search engine list of sites that match that keyword. IF the user has WebMenu, then your website would be pictured a the top of the page. If the user does not have WebMenu, than your website is just part of the search engine listing.
At the end of six months, WebMenu DID NOT honor their guarantee and keep my advertising going for another six months. They just took my check and ran.

This company Webmenu has several other aliases that they use in the marketplace. These include WebMenu, Placement Today, Unique Placement, and googlegooglegoogle.com . Essentially this company will promise top search engine rankings by using a iframe technology.They will tell you they have a family watch bar that over 1 million people use and that when they search in any engine for your keywords that you buy you will show up in an iFrame above the content. When you install the family watch bar it does display your site but no one uses the family watch bar. They also say that their family watch bar was featured on NBC's to catch a predator. We have contacted NBC and looked through their show transcripts and there is no mention of it. Their is however Family Watch Dog that was featured and is a totally different thing. These guys are scam artists! They will say that because the traffic is from an Iframe that it cannot be tracked with analytics. The traffic does track to analytics from lcrsrv.com but never does anything other than sit on the page. This type of bot can easily be programmed or bought on sites like magictrafficbot.com. To prove that the traffic was fake we changed the page that they displayed to a page that was giving away a free product with nothing to do but enter a name and address. With over 120k visitors not one signed up. One of their sales guys names is Jesse Goins. They will tell you to pay by certified check only so you can not do a chargeback when you find out they ripped you off. Also just like people mentioned above there is all kinds of rave reviews on junk sites around the web. This is simply their employees posting so that when people search and try to find out more info that is what comes up. Also as mentioned above their service sucks and the address on their site is not a real address. I was in Newport Beach recently and went to the address listed and it is fake. I also went to the 11712 Moorpark Street Suite 213 Studio City, CA 91604 address and there is no company there by any of the names above. I just looked and they actually took down the address off of their website. Funny how that works. I think everyone who has been ripped off by these people should join together in a class action and that these guys should be prosecuted for click fraud. That is my 2 cents.
