I am fully convinced that the traffic is fake. I suspect that they are using scripts to produce clicks and to imitate ip addresses.

I’ve sent many requests for a refund and they have all been turned down.

If anyone here feels that they have been scammed by star position please contact me.

From July 8-15 2011 my S.P. account showed 594 click throughs and from that I had no sales or sign ups.

From a different paid traffic provider I am getting 1 sale for every 120 click throughs as well as sign ups. Clearly the traffic generated by S.P. is not legitimate or else there would be some results.

S.P. says “If we generated any fake traffic, you’d get a full refund.”

Seeing that S.P. has control of all the information being produced a customer cannot prove that the traffic is fake.

If you are an online advertiser please do not use this service as there is no way for you to confirm the legitimacy of the traffic.

I am hoping for a refund and if Search Position had any sense of business ethics they would issue refunds.

Thanks for this area to vent communicate.

Here is such a spam email that I received earlier this week!
