I have long been a webmaster, looking at opportunity and building websites where I can. I have been in the webmaster community for years- and once I'm done with a project I am well aware that I need backlinks to get anywhere in search engine optimization. Thus, I tried out a service called GuruCreation, but quickly found out the results weren't what I expected.

I have long been a webmaster, looking at opportunity and building websites where I can. I have been in the webmaster community for years- and once I'm done with a project I am well aware that I need backlinks to get anywhere in search engine optimization. Thus, I tried out a service called GuruCreation, but quickly found out the results weren't what I expected.
My search started with a website I came to know as GuruCreation- a lead I got from an online forum I frequent. The owner of the SEO service is named Redgsr, although he also goes under the name of Daniel Millions. So far I was pleased with what I was getting into, as he personally promised me that I would have great SEO benefit in as little as two weeks.
I kept my Google Analytics account on close watch- but found something unexpected. It seems that GuruCreation has been using a public article distribution network all along, and decided to charge me an obscene amount of money by passing the network off as theirs! I was enraged at this point, yet I bottled up my concerns and waited for his statistics report.
When I received my report, I noticed that because the content was the same, most of it was subject to the duplicate content filter that Google imposes. Instead of the 100,000 backlinks I was promised as his service advertised, it turns out that I only got 100 or so that weren't subject to the duplicate content filter. Even worse is the fact that I don't plan on keeping these links much longer- since they are disappearing more each day as Google sees them as duplicate content.
Outraged, I immediately started sending emails to GuruCreation customers and told them of this scam, and started raising awareness of this SEO gone wrong. Whereas GuruCreation was charging up to $87 for article submission, ArticleMarketer was charging about this much for three months of unlimited submissions.
Once I told everyone, we all decided to boycott his services and spread the word so that no one else fell into his trap. We strongly recommend against using the GuruCreation service simply because it is pretending to be an SEO network, but in reality he is just using someone else's hard work and making a huge profit from it.
Final Thoughts
If all goes well, clients everywhere will wake up and see that GuruCreation is a clear scam. Hopefully other SEO services don't behave like this, because to be quite honest, I'm a little disgusted in how this guy makes his money online. Here's some advice: don't use GuruCreation or Redgsr SEO services.
