Ad Agency Synteractive discovered to receive part of 18m recovery.gov redesign

July 15, 2009

The advertising agency that will be getting part of the 18 million dollar website redesign for recovery.gov has been discovered. It’s a firm called Synteractive. They will be tasked with the Web 2.0 aspects of the website as well as Search Engine Optimization.

Here’s where it’s get’s funny, their own site ranks horrific in the search engines due to some buggy code that bounces a 302 redirect when you first visit their site.. and for the record, this is how Google is caching their site…. In any normal environment I’d offer my services to teach them the basics on Social Media and Search Engine Optimization so they may do more than just bill for the services.. but actually do the services…… but clearly they don’t need to improve their rankings… their bank account already just got improved.

Watch your $18,000,000 in action…… This is how Google views there site (click on image below)

  • like how http://www.synteractive.com has a 302 temporary redirect to http://www.synteractive.com/Pages/WelcomePage.aspx

    They're getting paid to do SEO work?

    It looks like this article (or at least the Google cache) is out of date. If you actually click on the website link (instead of the cache), you get a site that looks completely different.
  • Rachel its how google is viewing it via their cache... meaning they have zero understanding of SEO..... yet they are getting paid for SEO.... its an outrage... that scennshot was taken today myself...
  • Now, THIS, I've gotta see.
  • Mark, in any other case it would be roll-over-funny watching this in action... IE: Enfatico / WPP group and the Dell Disaster...

    But this isn't funny... this is our tax money.......

    But the google cache looks like their website now. Are you just complaining because they revamped their website? (Not that the new website looks all that special...)
