They are now using my business name to promote their internet interests without my permission. Las Vegas Nevada

Want to know if my claims are true? Go to the internet and type in Traffic Power. You will see pages of complaints.

I am complaining about Worldwide Internet Advertising's address is http://www.1p.com/ and www.adnetprose.com. 3850 S. Jones Blvd. #39, Las Vegas, NV 89103. Telephone: 866-831-5758. The corporation papers now list Matthew Marlon as President, Secretary and Treasurer.

A company called Internet Advertising, 1P, or used to be called Traffic Power, has purchased a URL website address. On this URL they have used my company's name, against my will, with my products in the URL description and used my keywords and 20 URL pages linked to other businesses that have nothing to do with my products. When you click the links they rotate to a new business everytime. They are breaking the search engines guidelines putting my business at risk..

I hired this Search Engine Optimization company to help my website climb in ranking on the search engines, but when I found out they were using questionable internet practices, I asked them to take down the website they created for me. 6 months later I realized it was still on the internet. I asked Internet Advertising to take it down, that they were breaking Trade Mark laws by using my business name. They would not take it down, they say they legally own it. When you put my keywords for my business into the search engines you find this URL with my business name on it.

Now, when my customers are looking on the internet for my company, they will find this link and it will hurt my business reputation, causing confusion. When I called 10 of the businesses that are connected to this website yesterday they had no idea that their website is connected to sites such as this.

When I told them this, they got angry and called Internet Advertising to complain, but Internet Advertising, from past experience, will not care. Internet Advertising thinks they are getting by with their tactics.

I lost $1,500 to them which they would not refund as has numerous other past customers. My main business website, disappeared off the search engines for 4 months last year, after Traffic Power put questionable website pages and other practices that Google and other search engines did not like, on my website. This happened to many of Traffic Power's customers. Search on Google for Traffic Power to see the many complaints. My business lost alot of money from this.

This company has caused tremendous grief for many small internet businesses. They keep breaking all of the internet rules of conduct. I have not even begun to discuss the heartache they have caused me and my business. So many of their customers are furious with them, I cannot even begin to have the time to discuss each incident I found out about.

I suspect there are hundreds of sites out there on the search engines similar to the one I am speaking about.93 reports have been filed with the Nevada Better Business Bureau against Internet Adversiting. Internet Advertising does aggressive telephone marketing and takes innocent, ignorant, web owners and victimize them, most of them small businesses.

There is a class action lawsuit being formed by the website owner, www.trafficpowersucks.com, whose site also was down off the Internet due to Traffic Power's procedures and who lost $4,500 to them. Internet Advertising needs to be stopped. If there is any lawyer or anyone who can help me with this, please contact me. I am still waiting for the class action lawsuit to begin. In the meantime, I would like to pursue this matter legally with Internet Advertising on my own also. Please let me know if you have any information that could help me.

STOP! ..before you think about using the Better Business Bureau (BBB)... CLICK HERE to see how other consumers were victimized by the BBB's false or misleading information. Don't be fooled! It has been reported, when there are thousands of complaints and other investigations underway by authorities, the BBB has no choice but to finally give an UNsatisfactory rating to a BBB member business that is paying the BBB big membership fees every year. When a business is reported that is NOT a BBB member, BBB files WILL more likely show an UNsatisfactory rating, then reportedly shake down that company to become a member of the BBB. One positive thing about the BBB is, either way, if a business has an unsatisfactory rating with the BBB, you can be sure, the business is bad. But what about all those BBB member businesses that had complaints filed against them? Consumers never get to hear about them. What about the BBB advertising to the public? Is this a false and misleading perception they are giving about consumer confidence when dealing with a business? Click here to understand more of what consumers and business alike are saying about the BBB. You decide. ..Remember. The BBB membership is not earned, it's paid for!
