Yeah, that Sucks!

“YeahthatSucks.com” draws negative exposure to entities that cause miserable consumer experiences through SEO. News aggregator that compiles latest examples for each entity that creates misery- albeit a bureaucracy, quasi media figure, or fraudulent company. Additional humorous reporting is provided in a sophomoric tone.

Millions of searches are performed on the Internet daily for products and services of every sort- the majority of which are indeed provided by legitimate entities. Never the less, instances often occur where a consumer will become dissatisfied or even feel swindled by an entity that failed to meet their expectations. By leveraging the most state of the art technologies and knowledgeable staff as its foundation, Yeathatsucks.com is well equipped to rival some of the better known providers of SEO consulting.

31 year old, Michael Hamilton, a former BD director for the middle Atlantic region for the BLAW offshoot at Bloomberg, LP got the idea while waiting for a flight to LA from New York that never came while blogging about it over the move able type network via iPhone. This developed to a la later URL purchase and crashed server. Hamilton borrowed money from family and now employs 12 people in SOHO.

YTS firm understanding of SEO, SEM, ROI, analytics, search engine algorithms, robots and the various ways they operate are totally in front of the curve and by consistently testing, evaluating, reevaluating, relearning and investing in new technologies we will remain ahead of any entity that makes it on our “sucklist”- keeping them there.

This service will be ever evolving and adaptive to the needs of the millions that will come to rely on the factual reporting comprehensive data and analysis of the site. The benefits of having all this on one integrated platform yields consistency and as the site evolves to be the go to source for all consumers doing a little front end due diligence before making a purchase or buying into- anything.
