It’s good to know that the Stoner Organization is in the same building as the Office of the Attorney General…I found this in St. Pete, near my house a few months ago!
Have you been SLAPPED?
by Steve
Every once in a while someone comes to us who got “Google Slapped” or even outright banned by Google and asks us to help.
There are several different types of slaps with different levels of severity ranging from higher minimum bid prices on your keywords, to reduced ad serving, and on down to your account not getting any impressions at all. The most severe is when you get banned from Google Adwords for life, no matter what account you want to start or what site you want to promote. Since Google is by far the biggest source of search traffic, that is pretty painful. Click Here to read the rest of the article.
In case you were wondering what happened…
By Laura
Please forgive me. The last few months have been a world wind and I have neglected the newsletter. Some of you know that I released a product on how to do what I do with local businesses with marketing guru Ryan Deiss. I am honored to have him as my publisher.To date we’ve sold over 10,000 copies and my students are really doing well helping their clients and working for themselves.
For those of you who didn’t know or are interested in learning how to do this yourself, please click on the graphic below to find out more.
Check out Spokeo. Really. This is not a joke. Go to spokeo.com and you’ll be shocked about how much personal information on YOU they have. Fortunately, I found out how to remove myself from their database. Go to http://www.spokeo.com/blog/help/ Point 8 shows you how to remove yourself.
Mobile–it’s huge…

What does that mean for you?It means that if you don’t have a mobile enabled website or landing page, half of your traffic from social media will be wasted!Just so happens that if you have a WordPress site, we’ve developed a pretty nifty plugin for mobile.If you’re interested in learning more about it, click the graphic below!
I need your help!
If we’ve helped your or have done a good job for you, would you please leave a review on our site? I’m testing on how Google picks these up in their local results, so all I’m missing is some kind (or unkind, if we deserve that) words from you. Click Here to leave a Review

I’m concerned now that I might get banned from Google if I do something wrong. Should I just stop doing ads with them to avoid that? How could I ever know if what I’m doing is okay with them? I’m afraid I’ll make some mistake at some point and they will send me packing.
I got banned for about 45 days …. Google is serious about not allowing products on their “No products of this kind”. Make sure you looked to verify that a product is not on the banned list. I was promoting HCG weight loss product through adwords. I did get the slap and banned lifted in about 45 days.
Hey, thanks for the tip on Spikeo. None of their business making my business everyone’s business. Had no idea that was going on so mucho thanks for letting me know about it.
Enjoy your information as always. As a bonus, I found out about the spokeo site removel too. I’m glad that there is a way to get off the Spokeo website. I never knew there was an option. You are awesome!

Mark, If you’re trying to game the system, you can and will get banned, but ethical practices don’t get banned by Google… Hope that helps

How did you get released from the ban? I have many clients who are banned for life–I’m curious how you handled..

Dear Laura and the gang
I have lived too long. I attended a funeral today and the gravestone next to the site had a qr code on it.
Wow–great to see you around Kelly–haven’t heard from you in some time! XO, Laura
