What Is It?
Pay Accelerated Web Solutions to build a simple website for you and write some articles for your site. In theory, the site can make you money.
Short Review:
The amount they charge for the type of work that is done is shockingly overpriced. There are a few red flags in their presentation that makes me suspicious of the articles they provide you with, and I highly doubt they have sufficient back end training to teach you how to actually make money with this site.
Disclosure: I have not bought their product. But I have extensive experience in the online marketing industry and feel that I can make accurate assessment of what services they offer.
Before You Buy:
I was cold called by Accelerated Web Solutions a few weeks ago. It was after a long string of advertising phone calls, all hawking similar products. The common approach is to ask if you are interested in making some “extra money” from home, or if you are looking to “expand your business”.
They then check to see if you have a credit card, have an internet connection, and then we're off to the races!
I didn't have time to chat to their reps as I did with [insert link] and [insert link], so unfortunately I don't have all the juicy details of their sales strategy. But I can see a lot of “Do Not Buy” written all over their website.
Mistakes, Red Flags, Problems
Mistake: Buyer Cannot Make Informed Buying Decision
Here, they have their packages listed in order of Basic, Premium, and Deluxe.
Here in their portfolio, you can see that they are listed as Basic, Deluxe, Premium.
In typical fashion of these types of companies, this website is just a dummy site for quick presentation. All sales are conducted over the phone, where potential customers are put in high pressure situations, and forced to make buying decisions with as little information as possible.
Red Flag: Spun Content
In the image below they talk about “recycling” your articles
This is a tactic known as “spinning” an article. They take one single article, and rewrite it several times using different phrasing, synonyms, and other tricks to make Google think that it's original. This used to be a strategy to artificially boost rank in search engines and get your site to the #1 spot.
It no longer works. Not only that, it can damage your site's reputation, causing it to not rank at all. What's even worse is that these articles are usually barely readable, which means your visitors won't know what the heck is going on. Then they leave, and do no but anything from your site.
Problem: Pricing Model
Let's take a look at an image I created from their most expensive package. I have written in the actual value of each of the things they provide, if I were to do them myself, like buying a domain name, or contract someone to do them for me, like write an article.
You can see here that the actual value of what they offer is $79. And that's being generous!
About The Training:
No doubt if they are reading this review, they will say, “We offer great support and training”. I have now reviewed almost 100 products on my website, and I have yet to see a product that performed so poorly on the front end that has even come close to providing any kind of valuable training in the back end.
Of course, we can't confirm this because you have to pay before you look, and there's no money back guarantee. In previous phone calls with other companies I've asked to take a look at the training for my review, but they always refuse. They have to protect their “trade secrets” lol.

Dear Nathaniell, I wish I had read this before I was taken in by AWS. They got my entire tax refund check & trust me I needed to pay bills. But I was promised all kinds of wonderful things. Now I have a website I can do nothing with, Adsense turned me down even Amazon has closed my account. Of course I can’t get any help from the people that have all my money. I’m in a real bad situation here. I NEED HELP!!! ACCELERATED WEB SOLUTIONS IS A SCAM & I GOT TAKEN IN.
Support Team says
Hello Georgeanne,
We were just notified that your comment was left on this website and after reviewing it we wanted to immediately reply and address the listed concerns.
We just spoke by phone and after talking with you, it appears this comment may have been submitted prematurely considering you’re very new to all of this.
Our records show you purchased one of our Deluxe website services less than 5 weeks ago, and your website went live mid march of 2020.
Accelerated Web Solutions makes no promises of any income nor that you will be approved when applying for such services. The earning potential behind each and every website is entirely dependent on the person using the product, their niche, their ideas, marketing, and the time, effort, and energy they put into their website.
Furthermore, PPC and other Affiliate companies adhere to strict and specific policies and guidelines and without reviewing your website or having had an opportunity to review your website, or your website content we are unable to determine why you may have been denied for any of the listed services. It has been brought to our attention that due to Covid-19 many PPC and PPS/Affiliate companies are far behind when reviewing applications and approving new customers into their programs.
It could be as simple as adding a disclosure statement into the footer of your website. It could be in regards to the content you are posting.
Again, this is something we plan on reviewing with you towards the beginning of next week.
As an AWS customer, we value your feedback and we strive to create a fun, unique, and memorable experience for all of our customers when they are learning how to manage a website/content and communicate and express their passions on the world wide web.
We appreciate your business and we look forward to working through this with you.
All the BEST!!
AWS Support Team

I need to apologize to everyone at Accelerated Web Solutions for my comment that I was scammed. I received a call today from Matthew & he is the director of operations I think, he’s the director of something. Anyway, he was very upset about my comment & assured me he would take care of it, if I was told $50 per click. It’s possible I misunderstood that it was up to $50 per click. He’s going to have someone work with me & if at that point I’m still not happy, he’s work something out with me. He is going over & beyond trying to make sure I’m happy. My comment was very premature & I should have let them know first how I was feeling before coming here & leaving this comment. All I can say now is I’m sorry & I hope you will forgive me.

Nathaniell says
Hm. Just be careful about getting roped into spending more money with them.
VICTOR says
Mr green told me up to”$50.00 a click even if they don’t buy anything. Sounded too good to be true’ which it was.
Support Staff says
Hello Victor,
Based on the comment you submitted, it appears that you may have spoken with one of our account executives and are referencing to a common question that many people ask. How much can I make? We do NOT make any guarantees WHAT SO EVER that you will make any money using the support and services we offer. Results will vary from person to person, from website to website.
The earning potential behind each and every website is entirely dependent on the person using the product, their niche, their ideas, marketing, and the time, effort, and energy they put into their website.
We encourage all of our customers to read through terms and conditions when activating pay per click and or pay per sale services because of the many different variables. (As mentioned in our all of our Service Agreements and our Terms and Conditions on our website.)
This site that you have submitted your comment on is using the same type of advertising techniques that we teach website owners to integrate. Over to the right-hand side of this page, you will see Ads/Advertisements, and every time someone “views” these Ad(s) and/or clicks on that Ad(s) the website owner of this page has the ability to benefit from that. Take a look at the BIG advertisement currently on the bottom right-hand side. “Start Making $$$ With Amazon”
We encourage you to call our office if you have any further questions or would like further clarification.
Below we have posted an example of what one of the PPC companies (Adsense) lists on their website.
***From the AdSense page itself:
How much will I earn with Adsense?
There’s no precise answer because your earnings will depend on a number of factors.
The type of ads appearing on your pages: By displaying ads with AdSense for content, you can display ads that are paid when users click them or when users view them. All ads compete in an ad auction, and our system automatically picks the advertisers who are willing to pay the most while ensuring a good user experience.
The pricing of ads appearing on your pages: Not all ads are priced the same, so factors such as changing advertiser budgets, your specific content, and the ads your users choose to click will cause your earnings to vary even from day to day.
How many AdSense products you use: You can earn from AdSense in many different ways — by displaying ads on your web pages, by providing search to your users, and more. Using more AdSense products will increase your potential earnings.

Hello Andy, This is OLUWOLE ODUJINRIN. I was at your recent presentation for Accelerated websolutions.
Forttunately or unfortunately, I decided to seek available information about reviews on this company. I googled GOOGLED Accelerated-web-solutions. The reviews showed me that I was correct to look for reviews and comments,
You can read everything in the comments below. Please do not use the telephone number you advertise with your presentations as 😉. GOODLUCK. DO not expect my $100.00 or $499.00dollars on OcTober 6 either. THANKS.

Hello. I was a customer for Accelerated Web Solutions since Aug 2017. They promised me that I can make money on the website through pay per click & also by setting up a blog . I set up the blog, and no one clicked. It was in search engines. I also set up a Facebook page for it. The people that liked my Facebook blog page did not visit my website or participate in posts that I set up. That means no commission sales.
I asked Accelerated Web Solutions to shut down my website and give me a refund. Yes, they eventually closed the website, but they refused to give me a refund because they claim that I went over the 3-5 day refund policy. What 3-5 day refund policy?? They did not explain this to me at all. I was completely unaware. All in all, Accelerated Web Solutions are total scams who took my money !!
Support Staff says
Hello Shannon,
Our notes indicate you enrolled into our program on August 07 2017 and at that time you enrolled into what is known as a Basic Website Services.
Before this Basic Website Services were purchased we sent you what is known as a “Statement of Work” which outlines the terms and conditions and all of our company policies. In this document (which you signed and agreed to, and received a copy of) you will see that we do have a cancellation and refund policy clearly outlined.
In this scenario, a refund request was submitted to our office nearly 5 months after the Basic Website Services were purchased. Again, long after all of the work orders, services, and training were completed and integrated. This is ultimately the reason our company denied the refund request, however during this time we also encouraged you to schedule additional training with our staff to evaluate what you were, or were not doing effectively.
We make every effort to accurately represent the specialty niche products and their potential, and we make no claims, nor do we make any guarantees that one will earn any money using the monetization tools available to them on the world wide web. We educate and inform clients how to use these services, how to integrate such services.
Our staff is committed to servicing each and every customer with all of the attention that they need. We are here to train and educate all of our customers equally how to integrate services such as PPC into their website, how to utilize social media services, and how to properly utilize SEO to increase their find ability online.
The earning potential behind each and every website is entirely dependent on the person using the product, their niche, their ideas, marketing, and the time, effort, and energy they put into their website.
It has always been our goal to work close with each and every client that chooses to utilize our products and services.
If a customer ever needs or requires any additional support it is the customers responsibility to message our staff through a support ticket, an email, or by calling our office during office hours to schedule additional training if needed.
Sincerely,
Support Staff
