| The statements made here are true facts,
they come directly from the owner of needtechs.com, Ron Blicksilver.
I learned of his ways while I was employed with with him for a very
short time. On July
20th, 1998, Ron Blickslver was employed for an large and
successful automotive employment
job board. Less
that one year later, Ron decided to start his own
automotive employment job board while still employed with
his current employer and under a 5 year non-compete
agreement.
I have known Ron since the start
of his automotive employment website business in 1999
and have been in regular contact over the years with
him. In February 2006, Ron asked me to come to
work for his company need techs. Shortly after being employed
with need techs, I learned about several misleading
and dishonest ways the company has been being
doing business over the years; due to this and other reasons I
shortly left his company not
wanting to be associated with
dishonest company.
The information contained
below are true facts and what I was told and taught to
do while working for Ron Blicksilver's company.
Let's talk about
Alexa.com. For anyone that has ever called needtechs.com to ask
about advertising and what makes his site better than other sites,
Ron will give his Alexa.com sales pitch.
Ron will take you to alexa.com and have you
enter the website yahoo.com to show you that their ranked #1 on the
Internet based on Alexa rankings. Then Ron will have you enter
some of his competitors sites so you can see how they rank, then he
will ask you to enter his website needtechs.com to show you how his
Alexa ranking is lower in count (meaning better) than his
competitors websites.
The truth about alexa.com is, anyone can
manipulate their Alexa ranking to make it appear they have more
traffic than other sites by simply installing the Alexa toolbar on
the computers they work from daily. By installing the
alexa.com toolbar and accessing your website daily (which Ron does),
Alexa thinks you have all that additional traffic coming to your
website and therefore, you get a better Alexa ranking (so it
appears).
This is exactly what Ron
Blicksilver, the owner of needtechs.com has been doing for years. If you have ever
spoken with him regarding advertising, I am sure you can remember
the alexa.com sales pitch. The truth is, alexa.com website
rankings are far from true and easily manipulated.
Ron Blicksilver
once told me that "Alexa numbers are a bunch of crap". I once
did a test and installed Alexa on my own computer and accessed my
personal website for a period of two months. I was able to
bring my Alexa rankings down from over 2,000,000 to 325,000 in that
short amount of time.
Stuff to think about:
-
NeedTechs.com website states
it is "The Worlds Largest, Most Experienced
Automotive Technician Job Search & Auto Employment
Website!", if this is the truth, then why would he have to manipulate his Alexa rankings and use
them as a selling tool.
-
Has Ron ever told you about the
people he
hired around the country that work from home? Has he mentioned
Cindy? Or Anthony, the guy who lives in Hawaii that works
on
the beach sending photos of girls from his laptop? None of
them are true, they have never existed! It's just Ron
Blicksilver telling more lies to sell his services.
-
His
business was started back in 1999 out of his bedroom and to this day
he still works from his house. You would think he
would have an actual real office by now
being the so called "The Worlds Largest, Most Experienced
Automotive Technician Job Search & Auto Employment
Website!".
-
Throughout his entire
website on the top of each page, he states this is
the "10th Year". According to
the
domain name registration information his website needtechs.com was registered on February 24th
1999 at 05:00:00. If you subtract the year
2007 from 1999, you will get only 8 years. So
why is the website misleading people about how many
years he has been in business?
Can Ron not do subtraction? Or does he not have a calculator? Better
yet...Just another lie to advertisers to make them feel they are dealing with a
long term company.

Imagine that! Alexa.com
beats them all out by far! It is amazing what you
can do with a toolbar installed on your computer and
work in your website daily.
If you decided to contact Ron and
ask why he would do such a untruthful act, he is going
to have a good sales pitch to
try and convince you to spend
your money with him. Just remember,
the website rankings above do not lie! And if you have
spoken with Ron in the past, you probably remember the
Alexa sales pitch.
The shady
needtechs.com website may work for some, but
before you spend your hard earned money on a
position you need to fill right away, you may
want to look elsewhere and not take the chance
and wasting your time and money on this scam
website and owner!
Ask Ron to show you some real
traffic statistics such as UNIQUE VISITORS from a website than cannot be manipulated like Quantcast.com. Unique Visitors are REAL traffic statistics and show how many different (unique) visitors have gone to a website, not some "Traffic Ranking" number like on Alexa.com which means nothing!
TAX FRAUD
If Ron
Blicksilver tells you that this website is all a
bunch of lies, then ask him about when he and
his company Need Techs were caught and fined
for TAX FRAUD by the IRS.
Ron Blicksilver was trying to hide money in an
offshore account in the Bahamas when he got
caught by the IRS. Ron Blicksilver ended
up refinancing his home/office to pay the IRS
back because he knew he got caught! Ron
Blicksilver tried to lie to the IRS and got
caught! Do you think he would not lie to
you to take your money? The only
difference is that it is harder for you to catch
him, that's why we created this site to educate
you before you get taken.
Need Techs is going to be
investigated for Fraudulent Business Practices by the
State of Florida Attorney Generals Office. Beware of
this company.
