Like many of you we receive the spam emails stating how our site does not rank well in the search engines and how their company can get you top placement. The funniest thing about these SEO spammers is how they find your site in, of all places, on search engines. Typically these emails will state how 75% of businesses like yours don’t rank for their search terms, etc.. The percentage will vary per email as if it is just computer generated.
What really gets me is that they will con people into their services. Most likely the payer will not recieve any benefit from their little con game. So be careful when choosing a “SEO expert” to work on your site. If this company actually does anything, most likely it will be by means that Google will ban for either now or in the future. Just think – these companies are spamming you to get your business, do you think they care how they treat you when they get your money?
If an SEO company is good at what they do, you should be able to search for a title from their own website on Google and find them at least in the top 10 pages and if they are really good, the top 10 results. SEO companies are all trying to rank using their skills for certain terms related to SEO. Of all areas of search these could be considered the most competitive.
Buyer beware – do your research, ask for some sample results and make sure they give you search terms that get searched for.
