How can anyone take you, your company and any product you sell seriously if you do not even follow the guidelines and suggestions you give to potential customers? Have you used so many fake names by now you have forgotten your real one?
Signing up with a real adwords certified partner has its benefit as well, FREE money!!! https://adwords.google.com/support/select/pro ... =17377&hl=en_GB
Does your company offer $100 in free advertising for every new signup?
Find certified partners here: https://adwords.google.com/professionals/search
This company is NOT a certified partner according to Google: https://adwords.google.com/professionals/search/text?q="Online+Marketing+Placement"
Please ignore these replies as they are not from the company itself. They follow their own reputation management guidelines and take the blogs "head on" using the company name.

Note that Google states the following warning in this Guide:
"Many third parties have earned our trust by representing the best interests of their advertisers. There are some third parties that are not acting in this way. Here are some activities to watch out for and let us know about:
Not sharing the cost and performance of AdWords campaigns: You have a right to know, at a minimum, the number of clicks, impressions, and cost of your AdWords advertising.
Guaranteeing ad placement, either on a specific advertising channel or in a specific position: It’s not possible to guarantee a specific ad position on Google.com search results pages. AdWords ad position is determined by an auction and changes dynamically with every new search. Some third parties may only charge you if they achieve your desired ad placement, but those that guarantee a specific position (i.e. the top position every time a user searches for your keyword) are misrepresenting how AdWords works."
It is well known that PBH LLC, doing business as Performance Media Placement(or whatever new name they operate under now) conceals the actual cost of the Adwords clicks that they resell to small business owners.
Google has now caught up to the Third Party Resellers like PBH/Performance Media Placement who have diluted the value of Google PPC campaigns to the point that Google was compelled to warn small business owners. By marking up the cost of Google clicks for huge profit margins, third parties diminish the real return on investment Google can deliver. It's likely Google no longer wants their service to be misrepresented in this way.
This may be why PBH LLC/Performance Media Placement no longer has the link to Google from their site from the Google Reseller badge issued to authorized or qualified resellers. They appear to be intentionally misleading prospective customers by publishing Google's "Certified Partner" badge with no validation link to Google.
If you have been taken by PBH, or one of its many company names, or spammed by this company, take a minute and complain to Google directly at this link:

Google wants to clean up the industry and keep companies who are reselling their clicks honest. According to the many posts in this forum, this company is one of the worst offenders. You can help by filing your complaint about their misuse of Google's badge on their site and their lack of cost transparency in their campaigns.
If you've given them money for their services, contact your credit card company immediately and dispute the charges as this company is notorious for denying refunds to its victims according to former customers.

Here is another post from Google about "Suspicious results and strange behavior: A site ripped me off"

From the post above:
How to identify scams and other schemes
In general, if it looks too good to be true, it probably is. Here are some pointers on what to look out for:
Before you fill out a form or give someone a credit card, do a web search to see what other people are saying about the company and its practices.
Be wary of companies that ask for upfront charges for services that Google actually offers for free. Check out our business solutions page before writing a check.
Google never guarantees top placement in search results or AdWords — beware of companies that claim to guarantee rankings, allege a special relationship with Google, or advertise a "priority submit" to Google. There is no priority submit for Google. In fact, the only way to submit a site to Google directly is through our Add URL page or through the Sitemaps program — you can do these tasks yourself at no cost whatsoever.
Reserve the same skepticism for unsolicited email about making money with Google AdWords as you do for "burn fat at night" diet pills or requests to help transfer funds from deposed dictators. In general, be wary of offers from firms that email you out of the blue. Amazingly, we get these spam emails too:
"I visited your website and noticed that you are not listed in most of the major search engines and directories..."
