google resell

It's a scam. I've had a company before try to sell me the number 1 position in Google... after talking to them for a while it turned out that they planned to spend the money on getting the number 1 ad position (as mentioned above), and obviously they'd have been pocketing the money left over.

Yes particularly as on their contact page they are implying that Google Resell is a registered trademark.

Guys you need to report this to Google (i and others have slowly been working our way through this. The number for google adwords is on my blog www.oldwelshguy.co.uk . A few things though. It is NOT a con to offer people top ranking and get it for them AS LONG as you make it clear what you are doing. PPC management is a genuine industry and is an excellent service. So calling it a con is doing the industry a disservice .
the 'con' comes when companies are claiming top spot and not explaining what they are doing.

This rather entertains me
If you go onto their terms and conditions page, clearly they're using a template of some sort and they havn't filled it out properly. Scroll down and you see:
"Other contact information including address or the information for a designated agent"
Which is meant to be filled out prior to publication.
But!
They're not alone!

We wouldn't come up with anything it would simply be more expensive about £700000+VAT inclusive of clicks and management. We try to make your money go as far as we can everyone's got a budget P.S anyone who has a spare £700k who does mortgages give me a call its just a simple one off payment of £7ooooo + vat and yes a BACS is fine! MUCH LOVE

No no no no no no We have a lot of people for whom we run campaigns a certain percentage of each management fee goes into a big pot so if one campaign cost a little more, and one costs a little less, then because of the bulk method in which PAY (more than buy) our campaigns budgets are a lot more flexible. Just phone and ask there is normally a simple enough reason for the impossable. P.S(Google to my knowledge don't sell in bulk)

Do you have 'Google Advertising Professional' status as an individual or company?
If so, why would you not put that on your website?
Can you give us the verification link(s)?
I have to admit that I like the idea of pooling some of the fees to cover the overspends. I'll crunch the numbers on that ...

I don't know if this is what you offer Paul, but ...
If you are guaranteeing positions (and not CTR) for a fixed price, don't you have a clear incentive to discourage click through by not doing your best with the ad copy - afterall the more time you spend improving the ad copy, the less money you will make.
It makes me think of your counterparts that take a percentage of google spend. They have a clear incentive to get as much traffic as possible by not targeting the ads as effectively as they might.
I'm only talking about temptation - I'm not saying that anyone acts on it.
It seems to me that the fairest way is to charge a fixed fee (independent of google spend) with minimal tie-in, that way the pro has the incentive to do the best thing for the client.
Your thoughts?

A bit flowery, but almost had me believing you...
Hahaha! Come on people, wakey wakey...
Haha... Seriously, he's telling you he's not really from Google Resell... it's a wind up... and quite a funny one, too

His answers are credible, some tongue-in-cheek, but still credible. If you were going to do a wind up, why bother making it credible? Why explain how you can do what you claim (no one's done that on previous threads like this)? Why do multiple answers? Why waste your time?
Even if he came out and said "yes it's a wind-up and here's why" I would still question it at this point. Make your own mind up though!

No we have one Adword pro but he's not being named until some other fool can do better than 64.4% (I am better than him no matter what the test says even he says i should keep telling my self that) then we'll have company status. As you said if we were it,d be on our site.

So, you go on a very well-used internet forum to defend accusations that your company might not be all it claims to be, and you do that by ending your reply: "much love"? Yes, that would really create a professional image for your company, wouldn't it?
Pull the other one, it's got bells on C'mon, who are you really? Is this Candid Camera?

You're doing a great job of selling yourself here. Tell me Paul, what's in it for the client? A guaranteed above the fold ad that doesn't get clicked and doesn't provide any ROI for the client whatsoever? Or am I really missing something here?

This isn't a web log (or "blog", as they're commonly called in the modern world) - it's a forum. As a qualified internet marketer you'd know that much
I'm still waiting for Ant & Dec to pop up wearing fake beards, telling me it's all a big wind-up
Hilarious
