Help and comments please - KAT System (Keyword Activated Technology)

I been contacted by a company that are are selling the idea of KAT System (Keyword Activated Technology), has anyone ever head of this?

This is how they say it works
We have hundreds of redirection sites that have generated huge volumes of UK traffic in a wide range of industries. These are all UK users searching for a relevant UK website that can deal with their enquiry and meet their needs.

HOW DOES THIS WORK?

1. What we basically do is redirect UK visitors who are looking for anything that matches your services or products or industry title, back to your website when they have visited a non UK website

2. You have a free online terminal with your own user name and password so you can monitor your traffic 24 hours 7 days a week, until your campaign runs out.

3. This product is also backed up with 100% cash back guarantee in place for your peace and mind. If for whatever reason you do not receive your Traffic to your website in a 30 day period you will receive a full refund of visitors not delivered.


Examples they used:


Where enquiries are redirected from non UK relevant sites such as autosureonline.com , plus many more of our non UK affilliate sites. Try typing autosureonline.com into your browser to see how it works.
This recognised UK personal injury firm have generated thousands of enquiries from traffic that has been redirected from sites such as compensation-attourney.com and many more of our non UK affilliates that trade and provide services in the same industry.

I did use Alexa to lookup the example they provided but this showed no results.

Would appreciate your comments

Having considered this method of internet advertising I was unable to make a decision based on what the sales person told me.

Rather that he could not confirm what websites would be redirecting the traffic.

Having therefore checked google for some very common key words I was unable to justify this type of advertising as 99% of the natural search results were UK based and therefore not candidates for directing traffic to my website using the KAT system.

I think google does look at your local and trys to refers you to regional websites if your searching for products and services

KAT Systems

I used this company and the service was poor to say the least. They delivered the clicks over a number of months and not one person who had been redirected clicked a link on our page. I think the redirects were either bogus or were not relating to our subject matter. The customer service was poor once signed up, the stats were uninformative other than a count down from 5000. I wouldn't use them again and would warn against them.

Perhaps you could tell us a little more about yourself so people can put your post into some sort of context...

Thanks,

DAve

I work for a firm of financial advisers and was looking at traffic generated to do with "life insurance" as a keyword. Like the examples they quote they said they could offer the same services for life insurance not just motor.
