Amusing advertising claims

I had to giggle today when I read one of our “competitors” blurb in the Tribune.
They claim to offer cheap hosting, but they really should do some proper market research before making the kind of claims that they did.
“…. €6.49 per month and your .com will cost €1 a month”
So that means the hosting would be close to €80 per year and another €12 per year for the domain.
Unless my maths are bad, that makes €92 ex-VAT.
We do it for less, as do other providers…
Yet they claim “What set-up costs come cheaper than this?”
Do I have to answer that?
They also make a very interesting claim that they will “have your existing site at the top of the google”. What’s that mean?
It’s a totally meaningless statement.
