Attracta engages in questionable tactics to market themselves. In particular they create fear, uncertainty and doubt in poorly informed siteowners concerning indexing, ranking and sitemaps.

By signing in to Attracta you are unknowingly giving them permission to replace your Webmaster Tools verification file. Once this is done you have given over a source of considerable information about your site for an indefinite period of time.

First erroneous implication by Attracta: the number of indexed pages directly relates to improved ranking - it DOES NOT. Website size is one of many, many factors that are judged by Google when ranking sites, and is clearly NOT the decisive one as a short look at a few online competitive keyword markets easily shows.

Second erroneous implication by ATTRACTA: Uploading a sitemap and repeatedly "pinging" your site to causes "indexing" of pages and an improvement in your site's rank. Indexing is done automatically by Google as pages and posts are added, viewed, or linked to. If content pages and posts on a mature website are not in Google's index that is due to them being inactive, substantially duplicates of other pages, or to structural issues in the website design which prevent the pages being found. ATTRACTA does nothing to correct any of these issues; Google will simply evaluate the content then continue to exclude it from the their deep index if it remains inactive, remains duplicate copy or remains hard to access.

In effect Attracta hijacks Webmaster Tools over an irrelevancy - indexing - and does so in a deceptive manner.

How beneficial to you as a client do you think a relationship beginning in deception will ever be?
