Don't know if there is any truth to that… Just the words of a salesman spoken to me. I can tell you that on AT&T’s web package they guarantee you a certain number of clicks per month, however they are essentially pay per click the way it is presented. We were guaranteed that Yahoo organic results would show up with my business and my predetermined categories. He claimed the power of Yahoo and AT&T is the offer for the first and starting tier for their clients. Then with graduated increases in pricing they promised to throw in organic Google results. Who is sleeping with whom? How do they determine that? I know guaranteed clicks are different than pay per click but the line sure seems blur in this case. Isn’t that what I was paying for, promised Organic in actual results? They did disclose that if you did not get your allotted hits for the month they would roll over till they were used up.
