Street Speculator

The SPEC’s found a website geared toward the UNHAPPY CONSUMER. BadServiceZipCodes.com is a website site that allows its visitors to spread the word about unsatisfactory service received from various business sectors and even government agencies.

The focus of this site is local service. We would imagine that is why the ZipCode is highlighted. The site also has a feature where you select “up-to-5″ ZipCodes and have an alert forwarded to your email address whenever an alert is submitted to the site for that/those particular ZipCodes.

The most fascinating feature of this website is the “State Assistance” pages. There is a page for each state in the union (50). On each page is the name, address, phone number(s), and other contact information for agencies regulating specific industries and professions (Ex. Doctors, Lawyers, Contractors, Banks, Credit Card companies, Hotels, Retail Stores, Internet companies, etc….). This is especially helpful for those without the financial means to hire an attorney in today’s economic times.

You can also login using your Facebook ID, and then subsequently share your submitted complaint with your Facebook friends.

For advertisers, this site provides an ad model not familiar to the internet. They use EXCLUSIVE ad placement. That is correct. There is no CPC (Cost-per-Click), CPM (Cost-per-Measurement), etc… The price of ad placement is equal to or lower than the typical internet ad models. But this EXCLUSIVITY should provide any advertiser a great platform of exposure.

The SPEC’s recommend the site as a good resource for consumers. If you are “TIRED OF THE BS”, then go to BadServiceZipCodes.com.
