Don't waste your maketing budget on the promise of 1st page goggle rankings.
Company: CarbonCopyPRO
Read More: I am new to online marketing and recently made a bad business decision by investing in a search optimisation site.I have only been in the business for a few months and to honest very green behind the years, i am written this article to try and prevent people in the same position wasting their marketing budget on something that is wrong for them and definitely does not increase their leads.
I had no intention of investing any of my marketing budget with them as I had been warned by the team at Carbon Copy Pro that you get very little at best for your investment. I was however talked into it by their phone sales team (who are very very good at what they do)I unbelievably ended up investing well over 1,000 with the promise of 1st page goggle rankings.
After I had made my investment they send me a list of keyword phrases and i had to pick half to be my keyword phrases, looking back on it i knew the phrases were rubbish (for want of a better word) the trouble was as i said before by this stage you have already handed over your hard earned cash.
At this point I have to say they did deliver the 1st rankings, but on pretty obscure keyword phrases, the effect on my online marketing business was worse that zero. Maybe you are asking yourself how it could be worse than zero? Simply because the 1,000+ I spent with them was all my marketing budget and as a result i am really struggling to keep my business afloat.
I have to say if you are selling a very specific product then keyword optimisation could well work for you.
The sole reason I have written this article is to hopefully make people think before they spend large chunks of their marketing budget on keyword optimisation as the effects on your business can be hard to recover from.
If this article helps you and saves you from wasting your money please let me know.
Please don't be put off starting your own business by my experience, when it works there is nothing better than being your own boss.
Never Be Afraid to Take Risks
The most successful entrepreneurs in the world are the ones who were willing to take risks. They saw new opportunities at every corner and they simply said, okay, Im doing this. Im going to make myself a success story. Sometimes they failed. However, they always got up, dusted themselves off and tried again. It is this can do spirit that you need in order to pick the best business opportunities out there.

Its all good...
Andy,
Understanding the wound is fresh, it stings, and causes some tossing and turning at night... the important thing is to move forward learning from it, and knowing that this set back WILL NOT stop you.
Moving forward, try not to even think about it so it won't damper your efforts. Sure you may have paid a price for the lesson, but chalk it up to what didn't work and realize that the only way to secure results is to learn and apply them yourself.
Then, once you've mastered the skill, have the process running like a well oiled machine needing only more fuel to expand, then its time to think about outsourcing for more leverage.
Thanks for sharing and press on!

I Feel Your Pain!
thanks for sharing this Andy. Writing this should help you put that pain down and move forward without baggage!
When I first Started CCP I was 'conned' by some unscrupulous coneheads who cleaned me for about $1000 bucks in crap PPC traffic. That waste of a company provided me about 5 invisible leads.. and yeah, 0 sales. after trying to be nice with my rep I eventually ripped him a new asshole over the phone (this doesn't accomplish anything but raising your blood pressure!) ..then a week later billing asked me why I didn't make the next months payment!!!
If you want anything done right, FIRST learn how to do it yourself, THEN you'll understand who's qualified to leverage your time and effort!
Thanks again...
right foot .. left foot .. right foot .. left foot ...continue forever
Thank You

Turn that Experience into Value...
Hello Andy,
We all have had an experience like that but I've always tried to turn the pain of that hole bad decision into some kind of value for all of me new prospects. They can learn from the speed bumps in your road to success.
Take solice in a lesson learned
Search Engine Optimization does work, but it is also hard work, however rankings for a replicated site like Myccmarketing system will never rank, Google especially dislikes replicated site, you are better off building a blog around brand you, work hard with video articles and press releases and backlink to your blog, not your My ccmarketing site, make sure you give value in your videos and articles, then you will gradually see growing organic results.
Been there and can relate.
Hi Andy
I started with CCPro in July and about 2 weeks later received a call one evening probably by the same sales team you had and also got caught in their trap. They are good at what they do and see nothing wrong with their sales tactics. Yes I do have all these keywords sitting on the first page that do not even relate to my business. People be warned this company preys on newbies.
I hear you loud and clear - I have been a victim myself
I understand first hand wasting so many thousands of dollars I didn't have the luxury of spending relying on false promises but I have to say that it has made me a stronger marketer and business entrepreneur.
I had some guy call me telling me that he was part of CCPro but did not want to disclose any information. A week before I had spoken to my business coach and he had warned me about these things. So I was sort of prepared for this to happen. So all new CCPro members beware.
Now I can make wiser decisions when it comes to business. That is one of the things I love about the CarbonCopyPro community. They are genuine people and you can actually talk with people that really want to help you succeed.
Thanks for sharing this information with us. Wish you all the best. Have a Great and Happy Holiday.
Success Is Intentional,

SEO Frauds!
It really makes my blood boil when I hear such stories of blatant scams. I personally think search engine optimization is one area where scamming new people is dead easy. Show some top rankings of some useless keywords and people will think its something amazing.
Actually this is a lesson for everyone. Never spend more money on a marketing campaign than you can lose. Really sorry to hear your story. All the best for your future.
