Hello and yes; You are correct to a point and I should have been more clear. It wasn't my intention to post a negative review. Only to articulate that of the dozen or so people whom I have migrated to other services each were dropped from the index rather rapidly by following advise from "some providers" I wont single out.

When I say that AA and REW I really should not have mentioned them exclusively and rather than edit my post I'll correct myself by saying that I used them as examples because they are subject of much discussion.

However, I still stand by my information and belief in regards that "Proprietary Solution Providers" (not unlike those I mentioned) have been the subject of concern by many and truly have suffered directly for practices that were frowned upon publicly by Google and Yahoo. I mean there was little secret that Google and Yahoo would be taking measures against link networks and reciprocal link farms and I certainly recall discussion in this forum and many others that I'm a member of that a good method for quickly minimizing damage is to spread out websites across many IP's and servers instead of packing hundreds if not thousands of them on a same IP.

NO ONE IS EXEMPT from the search engines algorithms and any providers sites could in fact suffer if diligence is not maintained. Websites are not fire and forget.

For those that follow this thread please do not get locked on the debate because I also wrote about the ideas of ethics and technologies being used in general terms. This article is not ONLY about proprietary service providers as there are many subtle subjects I wanted to articulate.
