Goodbye SEO, Hello ASM and 1st Page on Google!             Go to Top


If you're looking to be on the first page of Google's search results, read on.

In the interest of full disclosure, I have taken a position with AllCity Technology to sell these services. Active Search Marketing, ASM, is what you need if you want to be on the first page and even take over Google's first page (subsequent pages, as well). We've got clients who have joined us and in less than a week, they are on the first page multiple times.

It's geographically oriented. It's not nationwide, so I'm marketing the technology/services to those agencies who are smart enough to join us first before their local competition does. And once your industry is locked up locally, we do not market the technology to anyone else in the same industry. That's in writing...

We guarantee that if in the very first month of contracting with us you don't see your links on the first page, you're out of the contract, which is a 12 month minimum. Walk away, no questions asked...

Service of this type would be a minimum of 1000 dollars a month, so if you're not prepared to spend that kind of money, it really wouldn't make sense to move forward...just don't want you to waste your time.

ASM is developed by AllCity Technology in Austin and you can see more about it at this site Active Search Marketing.

Over the first couple of weeks of the campaign, clients will see anywhere from 6-8 of the 10 returns on the first page. I've seen it and it's amazing stuff. Not that most people look beyond page 1, but results go many pages deep. It's that good...

AllCity Technology has been in this game for about 10 years, so a lot of expertise is coming in behind this.

If you want more traffic to your site, I have the solution. Hands down, it blows away SEO. Shoot me a PM or give me a call at 512.344.9499.

We'll do a complimentary analysis of your situation and tell you how much better they can be, backed by proven and guaranteed results.

How many leads are being produced per month for life insurance sales for this $1000/month? That's a lot of leads I could buy on my own.....what can you do that Dave Miller can't?

"Guaranteed First Page On Google" means nothing. Anybody can easily (depending on the topic) write a blog article, submit another article etc...and be on Page 1.

Being on the 1st page has nothing to do with generating any leads. How is that possible?

I could get on the 1st page of Google in 2 weeks with minimal effort targeting local searches. I live in Odenton so I could hit page 1 easily with "odenton health insurance."

But tell me, how many people are searching "odenton health insurance." Right around 4 per year.

In order for me to drive real traffic to my site I need to target the state; "maryland health insurance."

And before I'd pay anyone $1,000 per month I'd want to see the financials - how many leads - proven - are people generating who are currently paying $1,000 per month.

If you don't see the proof you'd be a total sucker to pay that kind of money. Again, 1st page does NOT mean leads.

If buying leads and doing outbound sales calls is giving you all the business you need then you are probably good to go. This product is for businesses that are working to build a brand and increase incoming qualified prospects. We're talking about having YOUR phone ring and inbox fill up, not the other way around.

As I’m sure you are aware, Google is the what the Yellow Pages used to be. We have the most effective product out there to help businesses achieve dominant positioning and presence on Google. Our team guarantees that we can deliver multiple page one returns in Google rankings, repeatedly and consistently, with all organic results for your targeted key phrases.

We have examples that we can provide to anyone interested and qualified. These examples show instances where we achieved an average of 8.66 returns per page, 6 pages deep. These are on searches that have tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of sites competing and using popular search terms that are bringing in geo-targeted traffic.

We understand this sounds unbelievable, especially to people that have wasted about the same amount of money on some SEO company that delivered only a tiny fraction of what we can achieve for them, but it’s true. The fact is that SEO is dead. It doesn't work anymore. It was useful in the past when search engines were stupid but the search engines aren’t stupid anymore and those ‘SEO tricks’ don’t work any longer either.

This product is not for everyone, but for those that want to drive targeted search traffic to their website, we simply have no equal.

And just to be clear, this is NOT a lead program. I've never represented it as such and will NEVER do so. This is a cutting edge technology to drive traffic to websites based on key phrases entered into Google. That's IT. It's not our/my job to convert that traffic into sales. We guarantee our results in writing. It's up to you to make something of the traffic.

OK...I'm quite happy with my Google rankings, but I'll bite.

Please post some examples of your work. I'm sure successful clients will not mind.

Thanks.

For a 52K investment (at least) with no agency owner alive dumb enough to accept a ROI of less than 1:4 you're talking about this generating over 200K a year worth of business?

My mistake on that math; 12K a year which means it needs to return 50K.

OK. I'll bite. My websites provide many leads and I'm happy with the SEO. But let's see what you have.

Please post some examples of websites you have worked with.

Local search volume for "odenton health insurance" in August is 450,000? Total rubbish. This town has 2 stop signs.

Another marketing strategy to increase traffic. Sounds too good to be true but I do believe in SEO so I think this may work as well.

I assume this works by exploiting the current google search algorithm. This would explain the 1 year contract, since the algorithm will be changed in a few months (always is), meaning probably losing those first page rankings (and potentially being penalized).

These things always sound great. Not so sure they pan out in the end. I've done enough search engine work in my old job to know that no 'great solution' works very long. Google makes sure of that. It is in their interest to do so.

As it will always be true:

Run FAR away from anyone promising first page placement.

Re: Goodbye SEO, Hello ASM and 1st Page on Google!             Go to Top

I am on page one for several search terms we have keyed in on and consistently stay there. Sometimes it bubbles up to position 3 or 4 and sometimes drops to 7 or 8 but I have been high on Google for several months now.

Sure, I get my share of tire kickers and uninsurables, but I got that with leads when I was spending several hundred per month.

I am very pleased with the SEO work Dave Miller did as well as the advice he has given over the months. He is unselfish, sharp and always willing to help or answer a question.

While I don't pay him $1000 a month he is worth every penny I paid and my ROI is amazing.
