Google Reviews Summary

The overall reputation of the company reflects a mix of strong capabilities and significant customer dissatisfaction. On the positive side, users appreciate the extensive range of products and the user-friendly website, which facilitates easy browsing and ordering. However, negative sentiments dominate, with frequent complaints about inadequate customer service, delivery inconsistencies, and perceived negligence regarding user privacy and security. Many customers express frustration over the difficulty in resolving issues, particularly with account security and content management. To enhance its reputation, the company should prioritize improving customer support responsiveness and addressing service reliability concerns.

Buyer beware
June 19, 2013

Buyer beware. The pst recovery product didn't work as described. It wouldn't activate. During the attempt to activate, I was led down a path that resulted in a second download and a second charge for $140. The help desk over-committed and under-performed. Safecart is anything but safe. I'm out $280 trying to recover a. Pst file that still has not bee recovered

I SENT THIS TO THE FBI!

"I just received my June credit card statement. It shows that on May 11,2013 www.safecart.com charged $19.99 for SpeedyPC. I never heard of safecart.com and I did not purchase any such product. I'm reporting this fraudulent charge to my credit card company because I'm not paying it. I'm also reporting this company to Lifelock and the Federal Trade Commission and/or the FBI. When I searched safecart.com on the Internet, I was shocked at the number of similar reports by others. Many of them occurred over the past month, but they go back years."

I like the site, the only reason why I give a 3 stars is because you either found good sites to learn, to answer your questions and to get informed... As you get rip-off with sites that are not honest and steal money professionally. Most of the people, me included... trust Google for about a 90% of our questions... So... It will be so much better if the creators of this awesome site could prove how trusted are the sites posted using Google's name.

I admit that it took me some time to get used to using Google Reader, but then I realized that it was the biggest player and better than any other RSS readers. I ended up using it quite a lot especially for different interests that I had. Yes, I am one of those people who were pretty upset that it is going away and wish that Google still found a way to have it around because I set up some many other things that interface with it that now I have to make sure they are updated and it is such a pain. Also because Google Reader has dominated the field there really isn't something that is as powerful as it is. So it was a sad day when I found out that Google Reader was being deprecated.

Lol its Google
April 17, 2013

Lol its Google. What's more to say? Nowadays when we look something up we "Google it" or "I Googled the Second Crusade" or something like that. "I Binged that" just doesn't sound right. Anyways. It is quite biased. Anything related to it will immediately pop up. But then again, it's probably the most used search engine, and it owns YouTube, Gmail and etc. Fast, free, and useful.

Used to be great, but i think they're now getting the "I am a bigger company then you" sort of impression and think they are unstoppable. Started to use Bing a bit more now and i never thought i would, but I'm starting to prefer it.

This man here, me, got hit very hard by Google penguin thinggy. My business dropped by 80 percent. I scrambled to get back in at the top. It took me, let's see, April 2012, May, Jun... January 2013, nine months to recoupe about 60 percent of the lost income and business.
It has made my sites better.
I have learned other sources of traffic and income. (it is dangerous to depend too much on one company), DIVERSIFY. It's safer.
I have learned clean, Google sanctioned, tricks.
"I have learned clean, Google sanctioned, tricks.

Most of my sites are a 3 or 4 page rank. But I noticed that is not so important to Google any longer. Here is a little something I wrote to another reader/writer.
"Ramon F. Do not fear, Google is not giving too much thought to PageRank any longer, for the moment anyway. May be it is because of what you said, young site are looking good these days and Google want them to have a chance at the top as well. Just concentrate on making your customer happy and if your site reflects that, you will be OK.
Good luck on your new site, and Kick some $#*! out there".

I purchased PC Heath Advisor from them, a year later they hit my PayPal account for two fraudulent charges of $29.97 and $9.97. Do use them, do not provide them credit card or PayPal, they are a scam

I have an Android phone, and I like to use Google web applications. They are cool and free. But,
About a month ago, I searched about a network analysis software, called GUESS, by the use of Google Search Engine. From that they on, whenever I open any website, I can see an advertisement about GUESS clothes. I feel they are monitoring all of us. I don't have any privacy. I like to live free. I don't want to be monitored by others when I am searching for a track of music, a news article, or when I buy something online or from a store.

I love Google, forget Bing and Yahoo, I get all the relevant results I need. Plus their shopping function is great. Was able to find some great products for the company I own and am very pleased. Go Google!
