You are actually the first positive response to Jerry Hart, and I think I actually remember you working with Jerry Hart at the time of our project.

We tried to lay out the facts as they were, with no embellishments, and let readers decide. The comments we received were unexpected, but sided with our experience. I think the facts speak for themselves, certainly the results do.

What is amazing, and some readers even commented to this fact, is in the search engines we show up before Jerry Hart – the self-proclaimed Expert. Finally, Jerry Hart had the opportunity to resolve this, but never did.

The irony here is that when you Google him this post comes up.

I’ll be unsubscribing from his email list.
Thank you for your honesty! I’ll bet you have saved a few people from being taken or deceived.

I make no claims of being an expert however I am a pretty geeky guy. We wanted professional help, but found that individuals claiming to be an “expert” were no where close to meeting my idea of an expert. It is pretty sad that I can do much better than Jerry Hart, and I do it as a hobby in my spare time for my own sites.

I think you should attend the seminar – if it is free and see for yourself. I would be interested to hear your thoughts on it.

The key to SEO is consistence, patience, and research. I find it mundane, but very necessary. Also remember getting traffic is not everything. It is quality of traffic.

One thing you said did strike me:
“We learned that the “professionals” will not be able to help us and that it is best to leave it to ourselves. ”

I would encourage you to not write off all professionals or agencies. Getting an outside perspective is invaluable for companies such as yourself. A true professional can view you objectively and without the clouding that can come internally.

Sorry you had that experience, but I think it’s great you said something about it.

I would agree with these observations on Jerry Hart’s Company, level of service and overall experience.
I am coming from a different point of view as one of our customers decided to use Jerry Hart for their Newsletter option and had us work with them to make things work.

I can’t even begin to describe how unprofessional and how poor the communication was between my company and his as well as within his company. On one occasion our programmers pulled all nighters to make up for the time Hart’s company wasted to ensure proper deployment for our customer.

Hart even mentioned to me that he could sell ice to an Eskimo. He’s an outright salesman making the sale on anything he can.. squeezing honest peoples hard earned money for poor service and bad quality product.

Since the whole ordeal we refuse to do any business with Hart and continue to hear complaints from our customer on the issues and broken promises.
Our customer is currently waiting for our solution to the Hart newsletter.

On another note.. from what we have heard, many of the people that work for him get burned as he does not pay them as promised.. yet another unprofessional tactic.

In conclusion, if you want to waste some money get a poor solution with some mediocre customer service you go ahead and employ Jerry Hart.

Thank you for reading and sharing your views. We had somewhat a bias upperhand – this being our blog – but it helps when our comments are validated. The internet has given consumers an advantage of exposing frauds and recommending companies that stand out.

Jerry Hart has some serious bad karma coming his way, and has made a mess of some very good people’s lives and businesses — both clients, who were sold a package of goods that didn’t suit their needs, and contractors, who worked impossible situations on ill-conceived projects, and then got nothing but a nasty letter for their works.

I’m sorry you had such a bad experience, but I’m glad you posted this.
