Ha, Top Pile. I used to work for there sister company netvillage back in 1999. I paid no attention to what the Top Pile bit of the company did, and was astounded years later to read about them

Ah mr Craven, I have a tear in my eye! All the memories from the old JH days.

Good old Top Pile. Remember when we got asked into Freecom to pick up all their old clients as Top Pile had gone bust? And when we ripped them open on the Actinic forums?

Never go back to that now. Its all different.

Having said that, Shaz could have probably sold Top Pile better!

Is anyone else long enough in the tooth to remember Top Pile?

basically software generated cloaked redirected pages on their own domains. They “guaranteed” listings, thankfully Google blacklisted their technology and they were no more.. we fought for years against them in pitches trying to convince clients that ‘too good to be true’ is exactly that and that whitehat is the only acceptable practice for a reputable company!

They guarantee was utterly worthless on actually reading it as well!! ahh those were the days
