I signed with the company called ineedhits.com. They advertised that in 7 days, they list you with Google. Instead, they are creating sub-directories and list you there, but the problem is they charge you every month $25.00 and you can not stop the service. The company is located in Australia and it's very tough to contact them by phone or customer service. So Beware, it is a scam.

whats wrong with that? That will get you listed, of course the sensible option is just to submit your site yourself to google, just checked your site on google, it's listed but whats all the russian rubbish? Also are you really some paddy in Belfast?

Ive had dealings with ineedhits in the past and while the product doest quite live up to its advert, It does work slightly..
I cant say i had any issues with their customer service, Infact i even blogged about my whole experience from start to finish and one of their main account managers was in contact with me via the blog to insure it all worked out ok for me.
So yeah,
They are not the best by far. But i cant agree that their CS is rubbish.
Oh and i had no issues cancelling the service either.
Oh and one last thing...
Getting on google isnt hard.
Submit your website, Get some backlinks and TADaaaaa! It will be searchable within a month. Sometimes quicker..
Infact most sites i make for people appear in results almost 24 hours after i add them to the system and put webmaster tools on.

If I read this right, you payed a company to get you indexed in Google and in 7 DAYS????
My newest blog got indexed within 3 minutes of Google Submit URL submission, and was 100% free of charge:

I think the best solution to this is to try Ineedmymoneybackfromineedhits.com
As far as the nonthly payment, contact your bank or credit card company about it. You may need to be issued a new card to stop the charges.

What i think is that we should not go to any kind of these submission promises. For me, my own manual submission is the best ever...

Ok folks,
Some of the information in this thread needs some clarification as there appears to be some confusion around our G-Boost service.
What Does G-Boost Provide?
G-Boost gets your website listed in Google within 48 hours (we have just relaunched the service with a faster listing guarantee). If we are unable to get your website listed within 48 hours of completing the service, then a full refund for the 1st month of service is provided.
How Does G-Boost Work?
Directory listing is only one part of the service. Any seasoned webmaster knows getting links from the right sources is key to fast Google listing, and that's what we do. It's a completely white hat listing process that delivers fast permanent Google listing - just what the service promises.
Can You Get listed in Google Yourself?
Of course you can do this yourself if you have access to the right resources. The challenge is that most website owners don't have the time or access to the right resources to get listed quickly. And for only $25 - it's pretty good value (especially when it comes with a cashback guarantee).
G-Boost Isn't A Scam
I'm not sure how you can call the service a scam. It delivers exactly what we promise in terms of 48 hour Google listing. And in the very very rare occasions when it doesn't, then we provide a full refund.
Yes you can do it yourself, but if your time is worth anything, then the $25 investment for rapid Google listing is worthwhile.
Management of Services (Cancelling/Pausing)
All customers can manage their services from the customer admin area. Simply login via our website and you'll be able to pause or cancel services at any time. You have full control of how long your services run for. We also provide full details on how to manage your services in our FAQ area.
Customer Service Issues:
We are committed to providing exemplary customer service and accordingly provide 24/5 free email/livechat support to all clients.
If you have received an unsatisfactory level of service, I would be happy to investigate the matter further - please contact me directly.
I hope that provides some clarity on how our G-Boost service operates and what it delivers. If you have any other questions or concerns, please contact me directly.

that's bad, as costumer you have the right to stop it or not.

I have posted around 80 links on this forum and the longest any of these has taken to get indexed is 3 days,and suprisingly the ones that take 3 days are the ones posted over the weekends, its hardly rocket science.

How and why.
For few minutes "investment" in time I've had pages indexed within minutes of them going live, and "getting listed" does NOT mean that the site/page will be getting traffic from "time zero".

[QUOTE=ReneLeMerle;1065083]Ok folks,
Some of the information in this thread needs some clarification as there appears to be some confusion around our G-Boost service.
Here is some review on Alexa.com:
7 Day Guarantee is misleading....Legacy Review.. What they say: "We know that we can keep our promise of getting your URL listed on Google within 7 days of service completion. That is why we offer you a money back guarantee - if you are not listed in Google within 7 days, you will get your money back." Ok, you DO know the difference between URL and DOMAIN, right? Well I tried these guys to see how their miracle submission would work. When 7 days were up, still no inclusion of my URL. I contacted their support chat and the rep tap danced around telling me it's the DOMAIN that they guarantee for inclusion, not the URL....hmmm, read the statement above from their site again, I thought I saw URL, not domain.... The rep told me to go check their terms of service, which says something completely different: "Upon request, ineedhits will issue a money back guarantee on the cost of the G-Boost and/or Y-Boost initial month's service(s), if your top line domain is not included in the boost specific search engine within 7 days of service completion." Well, my site's domain has been listed for 7 years...and they say URL in their ad text... Just another company saying one thing and providing something different. This really corked me, not becasue of the $19.95 I threw out the window, but the priciple of the way the do business, which is to intentionally mislead up front , then cover up with fine print. The customer service was poor. I don't recommend using these guys unless you have a new site that is not already included. Don't expect them to honor their guarantee.

@chrishirst - you're right, Google indexing does not equal instant traffic, but it's an important first step in the process.
I would love to hear how you get brand new sites indexed in Google within minutes. The best results we got from our G-Boost testing was 18 hours for freshly launched websites.
@ThailandForum - I agree that it's not rocket science. SEO in general isn't rocket science. But most website owners probably don't have the knowledge you do, which is where our services are designed to help.
@full_house - they can stop services at any time - please see my previous comment. We give clients complete control over their services.

I have not used any services like it for indexing my websites and i can't trust them never. I have some easier and freeways for fast indexing as linking, social bookmarking, article submission and all other ways that you all webmasters know.
So why i trust them and pay them money when i myself can do it
