Scam or not?

    Hello,

    Like many of you here, I am trying to make money online. I keep building web sites and I do as much as I can in order to get organic traffic from search engines and back links. I spend a lot of time and effort and I've learned that financial success is the result of very hard and persistent work. In other words nothing is done by magic here.

    At the same time, I keep seeing huge amount of software solutions and subscription based SEO services that offer something that seems impossible.
    Some of them offer a software that will provide you with tons of free traffic with a few clicks.

    For example:
    homeprofitslive.com/?cp=zr5Hv1yK

    Others explain how their system will create hundreds of thousands of social media links, which will boost your search rankings.

    For example:
    trafficframework.com/final-video/
    apexpacific.com/xgenseo/

    All this means that by paying something from 10 to 100 dollars I can get something that will save thousands of dollars and months of work. Too good to be truth and I simply refuse to believe this.

    99% of what I read and see on the videos sounds very suspicions, especially when people tell me that what they offer a revolutionary and unique product developed by someone who was struggling for years and came up with a genius solution, which is available for a limited number of people. They tell you that they could easily sell it for something like 1000 bucks but because they want to be nice and want to help everyone it's only $9.99 and 20 copies left.

    What is it? Is is scam? Is it something that works but just exaggerated?

    The companies who explain you that they will create thousands of social media links are also suspicious and to me their SEO process even sounds like something illegal.
    As far as I understand they create links to your sites based on social media simulation. They have hundreds of fake (bot) social media user profiles who just exchange messages, post links and write on each other's walls.

    Is this the way it works?

    I never tried any of these products, have you? I will really appreciate if anyone shares their experience. I will also appreciate if you recommend trusted, legitimate and efficient solutions that you've personally tried.

    Thank you.

    Most of these programs are scams and pointless.

    On page and Off page Seo done correctly will pay off better in the long run.

    Dont expect overnight success.

    Think of it rationally, there are two possible scenarios here. Either he's a really nice guy and is giving up $20,000 in income to sell the 20 copies for $9.99 each or he's lying and it's a scam. Now which seems more probable?
