Review: Apogee Search

by Ross McKillop on May 3, 2007

Web Design & Dev

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.


Founded in 2001, Apogee Search is one of the largest Search Engine Marketing service firms in the US. 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.
