I am a web host, programmer, and armchair technology consumer advocate.
A friend of mine invested a large sum of money into the CyberPhrases ad network. They claim to have an installed base of around 25 million users, and my friend was excited to be bringing such a large number of visitors to his site. My goal was to independently evaluate the value of this technology and ad network to determine if his money was well spent.
My findings were very disturbing and I felt it necessary to put this page together after hours of research.
Overview
This company essentially convinces web site owners that they can have top placement on Google for a given keyword. They demonstrate this with a program that essentially overrides what Google would normally show, according to who has paid $795 per keyword. Except nobody has the program, so the poor web site owners are buying snake oil.
