If anyone finds out who this guy is, please let me know. I am really getting p*ss*d off with constant emails for a website that is being redirected; in other words does not exist.

The same website has been nominated for an award; I wonder if he is behind this as well. How can a non existing website win an award and need optimisation? What are you saying? The site does exist. How could you know it needs optimisation if you can’t view it? Are you sure you are commenting about the correct website, or was this just comment spam? BM

I paid around £350 for 12 months SEO work to East Midlands Internet last summer, and had no problems with their communications etc. My site did end up first page google but I am being spammed by other companies claiming I’m not(but I know I am and about time they didn’t their research).

Anyway back to the point I have been needing to ask them some questions about the SEO contract, and I’m getting no answers from them. I have emailed and phoned their 0115 number - no answer, just voicemail. I’m guessing I should write off the remainder of the contract and am probably going to remove their link from my site itself. You don’t state your website name, but if your website is the same as youremail moniker, I don’t see much evidence of SEO on the site, or the positions on the search engine. You are correct, ofcourse, spammers don’t actually check a site before sending spam, which is the point of the post in the first place. I’m assuming that’s not the website you are taking about? If it is, send me an email and I’ll send you two obvious things that you can do yourself, that will give you better positions. Please note, this isn’t a pitch. I’m not looking for business from you, but I’m happy to offer you free advice. BM

I am investigating a spam campaign at present, related to the domain googleroast.info (a dubious SEO software service, promoted via seosoftware2011.info).

googleroast.info is registered under the name James Sherwood but has the registrant email address of steve@ searchenginerankings.co.uk.

The domain searchenginerankings.co.uk is registered by none other than Steve Sullivan of 251 Exchange Road, West Bridgford, Nottingham NG2 6DD (i.e. the address referenced in Mark Anderson’s comment, above).

The registrant address for googleroast.info is 39 Bridge Lane, Borrowash, Leicester LE21 5RT. Both this address, and the email steve@ searchenginerankings.co.uk, may be alternative ways in which aggrieved victims of Mr Sullivan can find him.

I’ll post more as I unearth it. Thankfully I’ve not given any money to this villain (I wouldn’t), but I’m determined to meet face to face with the person spamming me so relentlessly.

I cant believe this STILL goes on !!!!

A while ago I used to work for a company… ran by…. Mr Sullivan and Mr Chadburn and this still went on then. Nottingham is not very big and I am amazed they are still at it.

First Hand SEO
We are web designers and had decided that SEO was best left to the “professionals” Steve Chadburn did an excellent job for one of our clients.

However Steve Chadburn seems to have left East Midlands Internet. We are now dealing with Steve Sullivan..(trying to… very TRYING.. I might add). Anyway we are trying to deal with the owner but to no avail after a client paying them direct for SEO services.

My thoughts now, Steve Sullivan, seems to want the money from people but not do the work or contact his clients.. I also find it unusual that they don’t publish and address or phone number that actually works..
Registrant:
Stephen Sullivan
251 Exchange Road
West Bridgford
Nottingham
Nottinghamshire
NG2 6DD

To sum up my thoughts; UNPROFESSIONAL – UNETHICAL and just a plonker – stay clear folks.
Note; happy to discuss further with anyone.

Looks like you’ve had the same problem too!!

On the bright side it now looks like I can market myself as an SEO professional as I now rank 6th and 7th for the search “www.eastmidlandsinternet.co.uk” and probably know as much about SEO as they do.

My aim now is to beat them

Unlike you I am happy to have my listing under theirs at least until they stop spamming.

Like the site btw and if I ever need any SEO work may be in touch.

If only I had seen this before I sent them £345.00. They did do a little bit on my site. They put the tags at the bottom of the page. Replys to my email were rubbish and alarm bells started ringing. I tried for a partial refund via paypal but nothing doing but I did discover that I had paid a guy called Stephen Sullivan who owns the paypal account and not Steve Chadburn who I thought I was dealing with. I have had the address in Nottinghan that they gave me checked out and it is a rather run down private residence
And I thought that at 69 years of age I was scam proof.
Ken, I’m sorry to hear about this. If it helps, we own the website, http://www.bedbreakfastspain.com which is number one for terms such as Bed and Breakfast in Spain, Spanish bed and breakfasts, b and b Andalucia, etc, etc. If you would like a free listing, send us some details to info@bedbreakfastspain.com or directly to me at bigman@kenkai.com.
