Dakno Real Estate Marketing Scamming realtors everywhere Dakno marketing will leave your website on a staging server and unplug it from your Google analytics Clayton North Carolina
Dakno Marketing is scamming realtors which seems to be a widespread practice among real estate webiste designers who utilize Wordpress.org. Bobby Carroll tried to convince me to abandon a 6 year old blog that had thousands of visitors and start over. When I disagreed, they simply did the smoke and mirrors, left my website files on a server that was not indexing while they allowed the staging server to index on Google. The files were placed on the wrong domain as is evidenced in third party subpoeana and my Google analytics was never connected. They created a beautiful website which I paid thousands for and had to abandon after just six months because I lost my traffic and leads.
After cancelling my hosting with Dakno, they had the nerve to continue to steal from me, following me to a new hosting company and created an account named "Dakno marketing" at that company that published my website files for the benefit of Dakno and its customers. I learned this in depositions in a law suit to try to recover control of my domains, email and website traffic and there is a bates stamped document as evidence. Wordpress.org sites can only be accessed through a superadmin and Dakno has retained control to my wordpress.org website and refuses to turn it over to me. It appears that this is a common practice as I have experienced it with several webhost providers.
I have asked for the owner of Dakno, Brad Carroll to call me on at least two occasions and he has not responded. I want them to answer as to why they followed me to another webhost and created a duplicate website to mine. I have evidence that my website was left on a staging server at this webhost also and my own site had code changes that created a 404 error. I am confident that this is not an isolated incident and an investigation into Dakno's practices will show that they are helping major brokerages, zillow, reator.com and others to scrape leads and data from the websites of the customers who are small business owner realtors who are earning a poverty wage as a result.
