I've signed with them and had 1 month. Had a statement through telling me that i have had over 650 visits to my website.

NOT ONE CALL.

They phoned me the other week telling me this and said they can build me a website which worked out at over £600 this is including vat.

Can believe i've had no calls from that amount of visits. >:(

Will be phoning them tomorrow to ask a few questions.

I don't seem to have much luck with this web advertising. Got stung with 118Trades.com last December - still waiting for my advert >:(

Hi,

My mate is with them and has re-named them "u could not find a thing @ all"

I have heard they are like 118 trades ! They promise so much but the only thing you get from them each month is a bill :'(

Stick with yellow pages or yell.com...can't beat them

Hi,

I've had a free listing with them and not a single call ever! I paid for a priority listing with Scoot (similar thing with web etc but £250) and that was the same, nothing! I wouldn't pay again for these sort of sites as I don't think they ever live up to their claims - they seem to be the only ones making money from them.

I had a call last week stating they had 32 enquiries to do in my local area do I want to pay up front for a listing !!
I asked a few questions and the girl (with a scottish accent )
was very rude and told me I was not the right kind of person for the site and hung up!
I have a very succesful business in my area and would not pay these idiots one bean.
I had put a free listing on with them months previously and not had one job from them.
THEY ARE LIARS ! BEWARE ! THEY WILL RIP YOU OFF ! ITS FREE !

If anybody di wnat to build a webiste try this for size

mrsite.com (takeaway website)

From this site you can bu a website and domain name for £33.00 and they will host it for the 1st year.

You build the site, saving you loads of dosh on some bod in a tie charging you £100 an hour. Gets better...you can then change pages when you like. Coz all you have to do is log back in and make the changes !

now that is a money saving idea !!

I cant really see the point in advertising on websites or yellow pages etc as you will get the odd job here and there. Surely you are best to advertise in local magazines and papers so all your jobs are close by??? or am I missing something????
I suppose it may work for commercial contracts though.....

most of the customers I have that use yell.com put in the postcode, and this then brings up the local window cleaner in that area !

I have found this to work for me...but you are spot on about local adverts and stuff. I use local shops and place a card to create new jobs...works a treat and saves money along the way

guaranted first page listings on google
Hi Bobby, bet you don't get that, that's one thing they seem to promise everyone including me >:(.  not only did i not have a 1st page listing on Google i couldn't find a listing on ANY of the search engines.

But like EVERYONE else has said with supposed mega hits on site but with no phone calls you'll soon realize they are BIG BUNCH OF LIARS!!!!!!!

Anyway telling me I'd have a 1st page listing was there undoing as luckily they had taped my conversation with there sales women and proved she'd told me a complete load of shall i put it nicely RUBBISH!!!!! And i got a full refund.

This not the first time u don't findus has been discussed on this forum search the other threads as i haven't yet come across anyone that has a good thing to say about them >:( >:(

My advise is DONT DO IT

Regards

If anyone signs up to a deal from a telesales person without asking advice from others who might have been in the same boat, then you need to have a word with yourself - no disrespect intended.

Say you'll call them back, and then get on ANY window cleaners forum and ask the question or just do a search.

A search on here for ufindus from 2 - 9999 days brings up about half a dozen posts, and strangely enough, they're all derogatory.

Be one step ahead - use the forums!!
