Guaranteed top position that can't be clicked out!?

I have been contacted by a few companies in the UK that claim to offer the top Google sponsored listing spot for a chosen keyword for a fixed monthly rate.

What's more is they claim the listing is not pay per click and can never be clicked out.

With what I know about Adwords I assumed it was not possible to make such promises but someone I know has tried the service and is sure enough appearing in the number spot 24/7 for a fixed fee.

How is this possible?

You are correct that nobody can make such a claim.
One possibility is that their 'flat monthly rate' is several times what you would pay in clicks and they will just bid you to the top.
Another is that they will put you there on browsers with some toolbar or spyware installed.

Run don't walk from such promises. The red flags are a'flyin.

How's the traffic?

I can run a geo-targeted campaign where the reference is your physical address... and because you are so selective targeted "guess what"?

But that campaign wouldn't produce any traffic (other than you)... I'm sure they can run other campaigns to make up for no traffic in your precise campaign - but their claim is secured.

realityhack agrees: Yep. And may be turning it off at night, or funding it using a pyramid scheme or who knows what.

Absolutely not. There is no way they have such a deal period.

See: http://www.google.com/intl/en/adwords/reseller/faq.html

Check out the section "No one can guarantee a #1 position on AdWords"
Found under the heading
"Companies and claims to avoid when considering AdWords"

Take if from Google... these guys are not even big enough to be resellers never mind have a special deal that does not exist for ANYONE.
