anyone heard of triangle direct media?

    Has anyone heard of or used triangle direct media's blogging service before? They contacted me and I am interested in giving it a try, but am hesitant to give them the type of commitment they have requested. Tried searching on google, but nothing besides their own websites came up.

    Appreciate some feedback if anyone knows anything about them =)

    They also have advertising services. As an advertiser, the very first thing I do is to see, roughly, how many monthly hits such a service gets. ... Like I did with Adtoll.com. The site you posted gets less than 5,000 a day. Ugh. Haven't they been up for quite awhile?

    I'm sorry, I can't give you much advice on the kind of service you are looking into, other than asking for free samples, or a free trial.

    That's what I would do.

    If they don't even reply back, there's your answer.

    Many will do this, however.


    Good luck with it.

    I'm going to ask them for a sample blog entry, however they are asking for a commitment when it comes to their blog writing service. Hard to give a commitment to a company you have never worked with.. waiting for references as well

    He, or she, has around only a 1,000 daily visitors.

    He doesn't have a phone number. Although this isn't really necessary, but if you combine it with other things....

    And, he says he does seo service, but is his site on page one under the most typed-in keywords?

    Yeah, go for it. ... Sign up.

    These guys are SPAM and do not pay their bloggers. Triangle Direct Media and PayU2Blog are the same company as the earlier thread shows. I was a blogger for them so I referred a friend over to them thinking they were OK. Now I have trouble getting paid for blogs (or even contacting anyone over there). My friend's site is losing business because their "SEO" methods got them de-indexed by Google. Stay away. I don't care if and how they respond to this message. You'll probably see a new thread soon saying how great they are... If you don't want to lose business from a loss in search engine rankings and if you want to have a healthy profile in the search engines, find another company. Trust me.

    Pretty hard to get "de-indexed" by google. They just called me too. Trying to do a little homework on them now.

    Got a call from them too. There's no bad reviews or comments about them anywhere aside from the blogger comment above who didn't get paid.

    Their methods sound shady but they seem to work.

    I suspect if someone had a horrible experience they would have plastered it all over the web.

    Should no bad reviews = hire???

    In his site, he says:

    But other than "direct media," which very few type in anyway, he isn't ranked high on any of the most typed-in keywords. Like, "media marketing."

    He says he can bring in a lot of traffic for a webmaster, but he has less than 500 daily at his own site.

    I would pass.

    Meh. Just because an SEO company doesn't rank for "SEO" doesn't mean they are not doing quality work. Especially if they are a new company. There is no harder term to rank for it you think about it. A new SEO company would go broke trying to rank for SEO related terms if that's what it took to get business.
    IMO is is better to focus on a client's needs and prove yourself than to boast your own high rankings.
    That said, I don't ever recommend buying links to get PR. No matter how "undetectable" they seem.

    I am with you on that, Bill. Google and Yahoo both are pretty damn smart about detecting paid links and they both tend to frown upon it, putting it mildly.

    Dont walk - RUN as fast as you can away froom this company! Yes - it IS possible to be de-listed from google - I know that for a fact by my experience with them. Not only did I lose the thousands of dollars they stole from me but I now lose all of the traffic and sales I was getting before I was banned because of their black-had ways.

    http://triangle-direct.pissedconsumer.com/-triangle-direct-scam-artists-stay-away-20100109167166.html

    They claim to help you rankings but in the end their system gets you banned from google - save your time and your money!

    www.triangledirect.com is a bad company to deal with. They give you a hard sell - charge you a lot of money and then - when you question them about why your rankings are dropping like a stone - they suggest you purchase their site audit for much more money.

    www.triangledirect.com is a total scam!

    I am one of the owners of Triangle Direct Media.

    There is no nice way to say this, but your statements in your post are false.

    However; despite that, if you were in fact a client in the past (and not just someone with other motives) I would encourage you to contact us and let us help you.

    We have a very impressive array of online marketing knowledge, expertise, and services that benefit our clients.

    I think everyone will agree that in online marketing the success of the agency, and in this case ours, is absolutely dependent on the success of our clients.

    In almost 4 years since the formation of the company, we have accrued a phenomenal record of client retention and success. I would put our record of positive results, and renewals for clients up against any digital or interactive marketing firm in business today.

    Anyone in our company would be glad to discuss these results, in detail with anyone who wants to learn more. There is a plenty of real verifiable information to illustrate that we have achieved unparalleled success for our clients.

    It is no coincidence that our clients have record sales years and years of growth even in these lean economic times.

    We look forward to speaking with anyone about their online marketing goals!

    I've actually hired Triangle Direct Media in the past (2007) for one link building project and the links were so lame/cheap we decided not to keep moving forward with them. A lot has changed in the SEO world since 2007 so Triangle Direct Media could be better now that it's already 2012. Hopefully they have a ethical link builder or manager that won't dish out the garbage they used to sell.

    Maybe the worst thing about this company (Triangle Direct Media) is that they spam my email box relentlessly with aggressive sales propositions. And this is after my repeated replies back to their sales people - to please take me off your mail list. Furthermore, after I asked David to take me off the email list, they went above me, and called my boss asking him "do you want to hire us? We can get you ranked better."

    Dude! Not cool.

    Kirk, David, Shaun, you're all in my mailbox.... please stop hounding people for leads including real people like me that have asked you nicely to be taken off your mail list.
