    Anyone know Boulder Marketing Solutions?

    They have rocket position which has to be downloaded and they are included with spyware removal software and other top downloads at downloads.com

    Anyone buy any keywords from them and if so are you having good results?

    It will show a portion of your website in the top of a page on a google search or even ebay

    Nobody? I am curious myself. These people call me all the time.

    GOogle search for "boulder marketing solutions" does not even list them.

    Also, they have a PR of 0.

    They claim to have 16.5 million subscribers, but cannot provide anything to back this up.

    There software does not uninstall like stated - it is more of a spyware in that it doesn't uninstall properly. I even had the salesperson try and she couldn't get it uninstalled.

    They called again today but with another name. They really are search rocket or something like that.

    They high jack google results if you have their software installed.

    I'm a real estate agent in coastal Oregon and have seen good traffic from the rocketpositions service over the past 6 or so months. In my area, pay per click just gets more crowded and generally necomes a headache. Boulder Marketing works for me since it gets site visitors right to me regardless of the bid. I think I will always use pay per click, but its great to get traffic from an additional source.

    You have to install a small amount of code in your computer, which hijacks major search engine results by putting their advertiser first in a form of a frame window. (Or in worse cases a redirect, which won't let you even view the results,but takes you to the advertisers site.)

    Worse was the program wouldn't even unistall properly - so it is more of a adware or spyware than a useful program.

    sure you may get tarketed traffic, but is it worth the risk???

    You will be associated with them when things go bad or a customer feels ripped when they try to remove the program, etc....

    They are sold under a variety of names now, do you think they are trying to hide the bad rap? (yes) I have been called by them 4 times over a month period, all with different names, but just ask them if it is rocket position or boulder marketing.

    Actually, he says the coast. I tried to find a site with his name and I can't find anything. I am guessing he works for Boulder, what do you think??

    We are 2-1/2 hours from the coast, and he doesn't say what part so it may be even further IF he was telling the truth.
