The featured editorial was why I purchased the package. They would not refund my money and said my niche is not something they can send a featured editorial out about even though I saw them posting articles in the same niche. This was towards the end of the campaign when this issue came up, not at the beginning. I only had 1 payment of $750 left at that time to make to them. Thomas Frank was the one who wrote my contract and sold me the package clearly knowing my niche was spiritual. My Niche does not go against Google guidelines and is a respectful site. After much back and forth they pretty much forced me to take more ads which did nothing and they knew I was not getting traffic from them. Do not waste your money and advertise with them. I was ripped off $3K. You have to pick and choose your battles in life and I did not feel that going to a lawyer for their discrimination would not be worth any of my energy or stress. I am at least happy I can share here to bring awareness. I will copy below what they offered me and I got (except they did not deliver the featured editorial). False advertisement on their end.
