Note: the following is not a paid review. I was approached by the folks at Answers That Work to review The Ultimate Troubleshooter. I did accept a licensed copy of the software in order to complete the following review.
What: ATW claims “The Ultimate Troubleshooter is PC healthcare, PC repair, PC tuning, and PC maintenance in Plain English” - and I won’t dispute that one bit. [click to continue...]

Links to download, screenshots and system requirements are included with every review.

The following is a paid review: The following was supposed to be a paid review, but ReviewMe dot com didn’t pay out as they were supposed to.
When submitting the review I received the following error:
Please ensure that you have provided the link text in your post EXACTLY as shown: <a href=”http://www.apogee-search.com”>Search Engine Marketing</a>
Which, as you can see, I not only did - but I did it in the very first sentence. After four emails to ReviewMe, none of which were responded to, I suspect I will never be paid. I’m leaving the review up anyway as Apogee went out of their way to respond to my questions, and I still believe they provide a useful service.

If you spend money to buy search terms/ads, Apogee Search can help you spend your money more effectively - by understanding that click-throughs on a website mean nothing unless they lead directly to sales.
