Shit Websites
Just found a local blog that made me laugh my ass off. Some bloke going by the Wolfgangbrand is bollocking some local estate agency sites that in his words are “shit”. Fair play to him I say! He seems to know what he’s talking about and although there might be a bit of a vendetta against some of these sites, he definitely does not pull any punches while explaining exactly while they are shit website.
It does make for interesting reading though, and the clever sod even throws in a free link to them. Can’t argue with that can you? He stay away from how good or bad they are as agencies, but concentrates on how poorly they market themselves via their website. And let’s be honest, web marketing and all that is very important in this day and age. Especially considering the agencies he’s bollocking don’t even seem to have the sense to market themselves to the Spanish. The sites are generally in English, so are competing with the millions of other estate agencies out there doing the same thing.
More power to you Wolfgangbrand, keep on pointing out these shit websites and maybe in the future these people, costabarsspain, Diamond Commercials will have the sense of mind to invest a bit of time and effort into improving their online presence. Although looking into my crystal ball it does not appear they will be using your services.
For those who want to have a look go to shitwebsites.net

Hi You
Thanks for the article.
I actually believe that if those people whos website I am critisizing take such critisism on board, they would improve their website and hence should be greatful i pointed out what they are doing wrong.
Unfortunatelly, their EGO is more important to them then their web presence.

Yeah, he is a funny guy but what is funnier is that these are all his ex clients who have fired him for not delivering so now he is slagging them.
This guy wolfgang even had to close his seo business (called clever marketing…no really) down this year because he was so bad at his seo stuff he even left some of them high and dry.
Mind you wolfgangbrand is a real good salesman though (he himself is from crooked ex timeshare) because even though he has ripped these agents off several times now, some of them still use his services.
Yep, wolfgang brand is going to go far in this world.
At least six feet under!!!
Fuengirola said,
September 16, 2009 at 10:35
Really???
well according to his latest article, he had been dealing with the SEO for http://www.fiestaproperty.com and that seems to rank really well.
How good or bad he is I don’t know or care really. But his argument are right even if like you say is business had to close. So good a SEO, bad at business.
Andrew Clarke said,
September 16, 2009 at 22:55
Just because he says he has done a good job does not make it true.
There are two sides to every story and I am pretty sure if you ask any of his clients if he brought any tangible benefit to their business I am pretty sure the answer will be no, hence him bring fired every five minutes.
The truth is that this guy wolfgang brand is a fraud and unbelievably he is dumb enough to publicly mock some of his clients, some of whom are connected to the wrong types of people, people who will make you disapear just by looking at them the wrong way.
This guy Wolfgang brand is playing on thin ice with this shit web sites he has made and he is headed for destruction.
Wolfgang brand thinks he is a hero to the public by pointing out shortcomings in his old clients web sites but they have to resort to it because of his inept practices in the field of seo.
The sooner he is of this earth no more the better!
Fuengirola said,
September 17, 2009 at 08:49
Wow Andrew you seem to have a bit of a grudge. So what site of your did he work on?
let’s keep this simple. You’re happy to attack his character so I’m going to assume you are competition or an ex client/lover.
You’re happy to attack him personally but not his work? So i’m going to go with ex client or lover. If you knew what you were talking about you should be easily able to point out HOW he’s bad at what he does.
Please point out how he’s bad. let’s make this interesting and get others to leave comments aswell

Hi “Fuengirola”,
good see your blog is generated some interest finally.
We, http://www.arribaestates.com are ex-clients of Wolfgang Brand, and still to this date have occasional contact with him. About him, his personality, methods, etc… each person is going to have differing opinions on him.
In fact he made several suggestions in regards to SEO, etc… that have proved beneficial to our agency.
Regards
Andrew

Andrew
you and your shameless plugs!
Very diplomatic (as always)
wolfgangbrand said,
September 17, 2009 at 09:57
First of all
If you are using the name of somebody else (Andrew Clark) I suggest you get the spelling right, otherwise it is easy to spot a fake identity.
Secondly, none of the sites I critizes on shitwebsites.net is from a client. The only one that belongs to an ex-client is the most recent relaunch of the people that owned fiestaproperty.com until a couple of days ago.
The now owner (again after repossessing the site due to lack of payment) contracted my services again.
Regards
Wolfgang Brand
Andrew Clark (the real one) said,
September 17, 2009 at 11:46
Hi Wolfgang and the genuine people on here.
Well, as Wolfgang correctly pointed out, the person who is posting as ‘Andrew Clarke’ has not even had the intelligence to research the spelling of my name correctly.
I am the owner of http://www.fiestaproperty.com and I have owned several other property related websites over the past 6 years. From day one, Wolfgang Brand has carried out the SEO for ALL of my sites.
Yes, some people say he is arrogant and his directness can offend people, however, I am pretty much the same myself. Black is Black and White is White! That attitude can upset some people, but in business you need to know where you stand and there is no point dressing something up, it wastes time and creates false impressions.
We sold Fiesta Property to the people who are now http://www.costabarsspain.com. They paid a considerable amount of money for the business up front and were supposed to pay monthly wiithin about 2 years.
When the purchased the business, the inherited a great, modern office. They had a really good sales team and a fantastic website that was bringing in a volume of enquiries each day that most agents on the coast would die for!
The first “sensible” move they made was to fall out with Wolfgang and refuse to allow him to freely carry out his SEO duties, so he basically told them to go to hell …………. big mistake!!! They were then without SEO!!!!
Well, the new people (now costabarsspain.com) worked in a mobile phone factory and had NEVER sold anything in their lives. Within a few months they had lost their staff and just over a year later they were forced to close the office and we recently re-possessed the website back from them, hence they started costsbarsspain.com
I think it all started to go wrong, when the husband told all of his staff that he had ‘anal seapage’ as he had hemorrhoids. I am dead serious!!! As if you would tell all the staff in your newly purchased business something like that!!!
Now the identity of poster using my wrongly spelt name is obvious to me as I recognise the bitterness and the attitude of her writing. No guesses for who this might be eh?
All I can say is, they failed through not listening to professional advise and the complete inability to sell anything due to inexperience and a horrendous attitude.
That is fine and that is the way life goes, but don’t blame everybody else for it and don’t bring up irrelevant issues about Wolfgang optimizing adult sites ………… at lease HE will make some money off the internet this year!
If you want to see the a good commercial website, have a look in two weeks at http://www.fiestaproperty.com. Sorry, had to plug it! 🙂
wolfgangbrand said,
September 18, 2009 at 09:28
Hi Andrew (The real one)
This actually brings something else to mind:
The website, not only the domain name, was supposed to be a guararante for the money they were suppossed to pay you. Two days before the deadline the actually deleted the site from that host hence the reason you are now forced to quickly build a new one.
Deliberatly destroying the site, in another words: deliberatly destroying a guarantee – isn’t that sabotage? Isnt’t that actually a criminal offense?

Fuengirola said,

@Fuengirola
Are you a bit “trolly” today? 🙂
Can’t blame you finally a thread with some action. I wonder what traffic you have these three days. Most have been your best days ever.
And lots of new links, and some user generated content.
@Hedwige: You see that is how online marketing works nowadays. My advise of creating a blog felt on death ears at the time.
Just to give you an idea: On shitwebsites.net I had on the thread in question, more then 500 clicks so far . I can see that about 80 clicked through to your site.

I take it you’re a fan of shitwebsites too?

Hedwige
You are getting on very low level with your answers. I will keep my answers on my level and stick to talking about websites instead of starting flame wars with personal insults and attacks. Its also better for ones personal credibility.
So here is a question for you: when do you guess your site will outrank Fiesta Property or http://www.spanishbars.net, which I did the SEO for as well..
At the moment I am working on this one:
fuengirolascout.net. Its a new one, little bet on who ranks better in 3 month?
I mean, if I don’t know what I am talking about and if I did optimise these sites half pissed, as by your suggestion, it should be a walk in the park to outrank them. When?
By the way
Tonight is the re-opening of Area51 a popluar Swedish bar in Fuengirola. Its now renamed to “Golden Days”. I will have a look, all fellow alcoholics welcome to join, for some casual talk about sex drugs and SEO. Opens 7.00PM.
@webmaster: I think I can plug a bit, as without me this thread would not even exist. Having said that, I would not mind continuing the thread on http://www.shitwebsites.net. I love UGC (User generated content) so does Google. The thread has record traffic so far .

explain how you site has good SEO. WolfgangBrand on his site points out what he sees as mistakes, you’re welcome to counter his argument. You can always just insult him though if you want. Might not be are mature but can still be entertaining.

Costa del Sol property said,
September 18, 2009 at 08:40
Although I don’t think anyone would claim that I and Hedwige are friends, maybe the new site is a ‘work in progress’
Although it would have made more sense to have the new site completed before being made live, I don’t think time was on their side, especially with Andrew Clark (the real one) re-posessing the site.
Fuengirola said,
September 18, 2009 at 09:25
But Hedwige even said she was before linking fiesta properties to costabarspain a while back. so she says on shitwebsites anyway.
she should have planned it better then. should’nt she?
wolfgangbrand said,
September 18, 2009 at 09:15
Andrew
If that would have been the issue she would have said so.
Also, if it would be that case she certainly would have appreciated the input I gave to implement such things on the site under construction. She didnt , she felt offended, unable to take critisism and to react to such in a mature way.
The use of iframes in combination with the quick links on the buttom leading all the same iframed pages look intented to me.
In adition she says “we know that our website is well designed and has good SEO” and not: “This is temporary site as we didnt have time to do it properly”.
Both design and SEO are amateurish. Why I already pointed out in great detail on my blog.
You come to “Golden Days” tonight?
Regards
Wolfgang Brand
Costa del Sol property said,
September 18, 2009 at 09:43
Not arguing with you wolfgang. Maybe as Fuengirola has pointed out she just did not plan it right?
And about the SEO, you know I tend to agree with most of your suggestions and ideas when we get the chance to talk. So I do not think I need get into that side of the conversation.
no I do not think I will be going to Golden nights. thanks for the offer. Got to spend time with the family

And now, to get this a bit better in Google I use my favourite technique:
Sheer abuse of my own linking power: I am running and writing for
several of my own blogs. All that whilst sitting drunk in a bar and conversing with that prostitude I promote, of course.
Some of those blogs have already a considerable linking power. I just place a link to this thread from a blog that has a similar topic:
fuengirolascout.net
I used the anchor text “New Fuengirola Blog”. Thats the phrase I target. lets see how long it takes, that this thread gets listed in Google under that phrase. Google puts a lot of weight on the linktext , if that link is relevant and from a good site.
We will see

Those clowns at Fiesta Properties have only ever had 2 decent workers, one who is still working for them (why?) and one who had the sense to fuck off quick after a few months. Hedwige and David Ash ought to open a convenience store in Nania, where I would assume they would fit in perefctly well. Hedwige could sell copies of “Witch” and her ever trusty man could sell copies of “Farmer Giles Weekly”. They are the perfect reason the real estate business in Spain is going to the wall, as these 2 couldn’t sell a glass of water to a man that has been in a dessert for a week!
Fuengirola said,

wow you’re not exactly a fan of their’s are you? So you an ex-client/employee?
John Jackson said,
October 1, 2009 at 16:36
Is anybody a fan of these two people. Who but Hedwige Ash would have “Suicide is Painless” as her ring tone! I’m sure not an ex client, so you must guess the rest. The main problem is that they blame everybody and anything for their inabilities in the real estate business and have basically offended the entire community.

Here is whats really funny:
One of their competitors, just one block from their office was getting their clients in his office and sold to them. So their very expensive and all SEO-ed website lured the clients over to Spain and their competitors sell to them.
I actually did point that out to them and suggested to look at their sales technics critically. Felt on death ears again as usual.

Hello Highly Amused
The Company Clever Marketing and the associated website does not exist anymore since more then a year. Clever Marketing was a company specialised in offering online marketing services to real estate companies in Spain – not excatly one of the best markets at the moment.

I would have thought your sites (shitwebsite, fuengirolascout, marbellascout, woflgangbrand.com, etc) would take precedence. They don’t seem to have that many links.
Looks like you’ve even missed one or 2 on wolfgangbrand.com and shitewebsites. Those might be the ones highly amused saw
wolfgangbrand said,
October 21, 2009 at 20:44
Today there are still 104 Links pointing to clevermarketingspain.com despite of the sites not existing anymore since about a year. You know , if you only have 5 or 6 inbound links ist not a big deal to change them :-))
