Originally shared by Vintuitive Internet ad agencies go bust, leaving customers in lurch and out of pocket #SEO #googleadwords Two Australian companies that sold internet advertisements and website space have gone bust, leaving thousands of customers out of pocket and without a website for their businesses. The companies, Yodel Australia and Blink Digital, have debts of $4.5 million and are behind a complex network of businesses. [...] Gold Coast life coach and hypnotherapist Reea Pawley signed up with Blink Digital for a service known as search engine optimisation. Known as "SEO-ing", the service builds key words into the text of a website to boost its ranking on Google searches. "I paid for three months of SEO-ing and that was supposed to go from October to January," Ms Pawley said. "By January I had nothing, I had absolutely no presence and I was on page 5,000 on Google still." http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-12-16/customers-left-in-the-lurch-as-internet-ad-agencies-go-bust/5159762 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
