Hi gang... I never did get the entire story on "Alan Seymour". I understand bits of it, but could anyone relate the full story as best they know here?
Thanks!
OK you can say I'm biased, but the facts as I remember are these:
Alan Seymour comes on the scene with a plausible excuse for having Google AdWords paid for by his web host. He is very pro-ZRA.
We have never had anybody called Alan Seymour using our service, although his records claim that he still uses our service.
Alan Seymour and Jason Thompson appear together (no photos) in Inside Edge magazine where Jason takes credit for Alan's accounts (they were referred to as Jason's accounts).
It turns out that his Google AdWords link is in fact an affiliate link to ZRA - clearly showing that his website is not "genuine, unaffiliated" etc...
As soon as the news that Alan Seymour is using an affiliate link is released on Arbbest it is changed and Jason Thompson denies it ever existed.
Alan Seymour's Google AdWords continue to give him top placement for well over a year at obviously a huge cost - much more than the £25 that www.oneandone.com were offering. All the time ZRA and their new browser get top billing.
It then turns out that there has never been anyone called Seymour living at his purported address. This was revealed by some smart Arbbest poster (no, not me!).
Also it is too much of a coincidence that there is a street right next to ZRA's official street address called "Seymour Place".
Then Alan Seymour emails all arb services asking for free trials to offer on his website. The email comes from a professional anonymous emailing service used by businesses. OK so he values his privacy, but if he's got nothing to hide, why pay for a business email sending service?
Alan Seymour is Jason Thompson.
