1&1

The SEO effect of 1&1 A Year On

It has been a year since I had my issues with 1&1 Internet and decided to express my dissatisfaction at their service publicly and what I have learned from this saga is that “joe public” also like to get involved when they feel that they have been treated in an unfair manner or experienced poor customer service. Here’s the impact the response to my post had on SEO and social media, resulting in great rankings in the SERPs.

1&1 Issue Three Months In

It has been a few weeks since my last update about my dreaded 1&1 saga and things actually seem to be progressing. Perhaps they are starting to take notice of the 60+ comments to this series of blog posts!

This time though it has a different spin. I have copied in 1&1′s CEO Andreas Gauger and included their UK legal and social media departments. Here is a copy of the email I have sent to them and I think you will be able to see my frustration. But I will not stop pursuing this matter until it is satisfactorily resolved. AND 1&1 YOU SHOULD TAKE SERIOUS CONSIDERATION TO THAT. Here is the email. › Continue reading
