Here is how the con works. It's a three step visual process. You see it so it must be real. You buy a keyword that you think is going to appear as a banner above the search engine results for the word you bought. When you upgrade your browser on their website === which is the only way to see the demo or your banner you are under the false impression that millions will also have access to your banner if they use your keyword. (because they lied and told you that) FACT only people that will ever see your banner are the marks like me that bought a bogus keyword.
Visual two: Web Statistics on their website is designed to make it look like traffic. Wow was I happy to see all the traffic I was getting ... took only a couple days to figure out that the numbers are generated by them and by no means real. My websites were brand new so I could track it. Numbers don't lie ... it isn't real they generate the numbers. Others have reported when they said they demanded a refund they saw a huge spike in traffic as an attempt to convince them to stay on board. Again these numbers are fantasyland and not real.
Visual Three: Credibility. When you research the company on the front end before you sign a contract you check them out. You'll find very nice things all seemingly by independent SEO experts.
________________________________________________
Now the proof it's all fake. They wrote up the same reviews for every company exact same words for all. Check it out for yourself. Here is one article for TopBannerAds (((link redacted)))
Now take a section of the article ... i'll use
"has built a strong technical and sales force aimed at providing the best online marketing services at the most affordable costs in order to service a wider array of online clientele. Their experience goes back 10 years in the Email Marketing arena and another 6 years in the Search Engine Optimization field."
now pair the text with ANY of their business entities
(text above + onlinebannersnow)
(text above + ebillboardsNA)
(text above + targetbanners)
and bingo the exact same article for all of them. That so called 10 years in one field and 6 in another lies all lies. Try it yourself ... instant proof they are smoke and mirrors. Check the web addresses on GoDaddy their web domain and you'll ee they haven't existed that long for these credentials. Gives you the warm and fuzzy that they have been in business for some time when they have not!
DO NOT INSTALL ANYTHING FROM THEIR WEBSITEit is SpyWare or AdWare and will not upgrade your computer on the contrary. The only people in this world that see your banner if you bought a keyword are the few others they have conned and you ... that is it!
Hope I was of help and spared you your hard earned money! Stay clear of this guy who goes by Rick Jarrett / Eric Jarrett / Rick Jared / Charles Gordon / Richard Anderson III / Robert Palmer / Robert Howling and others.
Here's a link for this address that shows they are nothing more than a virtual office. Same address so many 800 type numbers ... what legitimate business would do that?? The reason they do it is because when the heat is on them under the one business and their BBB rating tanks (which it will) they pop up another website. They have 4 or 5 current sites now the others were found out and too many complaints so up goes another website to replace the ones with F ratings on BBB.
(((link redacted))) CLICK THIS LINK TO SEE ADDRESS IS A VIRTUAL OFFICE
HERE ARE ALL THE ADDRESSES TO SHOW YOU THIS IS THE SAME GUY THEY ALL LINK BACK BY ADDRESS OR PHONE NUMBER(S).
Scary part ... there are more but this will suffice to make the point.

It appears they are at it again under a new name:
bannermarketingonline.com
Same story. I grew even more suspicious when they had me "update my browser." My thought is that I should see it without the update. Thanks for your report. I was told someone called in asking for my requested keywords earlier. They also do not take credit cards. You must fax them a check or money order. I recommend not giving this company your routing and account number.
