astonishseo.com - Astonish SEO, #1 For Affordable SEO RUINED my company in search engines!! I hired them after finding them by searching "Affordable SEO" in Google (thinking that the rank they had qualified them to do my site!) - I was wrong, they not only tanked my site in the search engine results but refused me a refund. Internet *NOTICE..!! this ripoff has nothing to do with Google search engine - many rip-off businesses use the Google name to fool consumers.
Affordable SEO from Astonish SEO ? SCAM! #1 For affordable SEO on Google? SCAM! After finding www.astonioshseo.com by searching affordable SEO in Google (yes, they are ranked #1) I hired them to do my SEO... LITTLE DID I KNOW that apparently all of their efforts seem to go to getting their OWN SITE listed higher in the search engines. I had previously held positions in the top 10 listed sites in Google and Yahoo, but after dealing with Astonish SEO I WAS HORRIFIED TO FIND: I HAVE NO RANKINGS WHATSOEVER! I RANK FOR NOTHING! I don't know WHAT they did wrong, but when I demanded an explanation was essentially "Too bad for you". I demanded a refund, and suddenly they became very unavailable. I urge anyone reading this who was searching for these @$!@s online to find someone else. ANYONE else. And do your homework before throwing away money with clowns like these!

Its funny how once i call WebWiseMedia out on this and mention 2 responses from the Ca. area they switch to Needham Ma, how convenient, now its a town located in our state.
As to why would we keep checking this, um......that a no brainer Vlad B. from WebWiseMedia, cause if this is real, we want to respond. Companies who have bad content posted about them try to resolve the problem. But WebWiseMedia would know nothing about that though would they.
Any company defrayed by this RipOffReport, please contact us and we will gladly explain how this business is cut throat and how competitors who are known scam artists like WebWiseMedia, will do anything to get business. Please check out these links to the WebWiseMedia scams:
They're RipOffReport

Our company was contacted by Webwisemedia to optimize a few sites, we agreed and did the work. Problems arose about us getting paid and that's when we stopped working for them.
They must feel they're is bad blood. Now they are copying our meta data, keywords, page content. We have even found them aquiring links from the same site's we have links on.
We currently have the #1 ranking on Google for "Affordable SEO", and they want it. They are trying to use this RipOffReport to throw of google for affordable seo.
This is the last response we will make to this report. If this is serious our phone will ring and they're will be a disappointed customer on the other end.
P.S.
I dont even know anyone from Needham Ma, professionally or personally.

I know this guy and his company professionally and personally. The man's a slime ball, and does business as such. I find it suspicious that he has already posted several replies to this report. If it's simply not true, why not let your actions speak for themselves? That is unless your actions would confirm the allegations.

I am the owner of Astonish SEO, saying this is not true. It is very apparent to us who is providing this information. Notice how both complaints are anonymous and from the California area.
There is a company called webwisemedia from california who is trying to target our exact terms in Google and has even basically copied our title tags and info. When someone posts bad info here and then makes it look like its backed up by another user, but they are both from the same area, it raises question.
PLEASE!!!! If this is a real complaint call us at the # on our site or send an email info(AT)astonishseo.com, an we will respond immediately.
Although we are 100% positive this is an EVIL COMPETITOR

thanks Anonymous!
I almost went with them, and was doing my homework as you suggested.
After looking further into situations like this regarding astonish seo I have found numerous complaints against them which they attempted to cover up with rebuttals and by flooding the web with press releases to hide stories like this!!!
What happened to business ethics?

This is obviously a competitor trying to distract potential customers. We have never had a single unsatisfied customer or any questions of a refund. Please provide your name or website in question.
We are #1 on Google for the term "affordable seo" and notice in they're report they try to use this over and over so the search engines will pick this up. In hopes of screwing up our rankings for "affordable seo". Definite competitor no regular joe would try this.

Sorry to hear this. Post a link to your site and I can check it out. Could be a number of things that happened in your particular situation. I've had many sites in the past just disappear from google's SERPs and then reappear a few days later.
Your best bet is to do this:
Go to google and search for "google webmaster tools". Create an account and verify your the owner of the website. After verification give it a few days and then from the webmaster tools you'll be able to see more specifics in regards to how google indexes your website. It sounds like Google has penalized your website. Could be that your site doesnt conform to their guidelines - hidden links, coverup pages, duplicate content websites, linking to link farms, xrated content, etc.
