SEO Services Provider Claims “Guaranteed Results”
• Can An SEO Services Provider Actually Make This Type Of Promise? •
• Let Me Throw Up A Huge Red Flag! •
Ok, this little gem came into my email inbox this morning, and I just had to share it with you, because if you are a website owner who is relatively new to the internet and the online marketing world, then I want to ALERT you to unethical SEO service providers like the one that filled my inbox with this junk!
I ask that you please read the following and then I’ll tell you why you need to hold on tight to your money and RUN away from this deceitful offer:
“Without being seen first on the search engines, your site can be little more than a glorified business card”.
“If you’re seen first on the major search engines, chances are you’re the one people will call first. It’s that simple.”
Alright, so far, not bad. Pretty standard SEO talk. I can’t fault them for these two statements. Let’s keep reading:
Discover a better way to be seen on the major search engines. A way that over 14,000 companies have already discovered.
Their sites are ALWAYS seen at the top of the major search engines, WITHOUT the exorbitant pay per click charges.
Umm …OK, my “here comes the hype” antennae came out. How about you? You starting to get suspicious? Let’s continue:
We can provide you that same placement, exclusively, across GOOGLE, YAHOO, MSN and thirteen other search engines. This Network is based on established, proven search toolbar technology, having been in existence for over five years. This search toolbar network is at nearly 31 million, and for 100% of those who have the search toolbar, you are always seen first on the search engines - or your money back!
You, too can have this guaranteed type of exposure.
Screech! (Brakes slamming!) Stop! There it is … a word that NO ETHICAL SEO services provider would EVER say to you! I’ve blogged about similar issues like this before and I’m blogging again about it today.
Please, if you are new to having a website; or new to learning about what is and isn’t possible with search engine optimization techniques; or new to SEO services providers; or new to what is and isn’t pure hype, and what is or isn’t a rip-off … then take a moment and please absorb what I am sharing with you in these next few sentences.
If you see any claim anywhere about GUARANTEED ranking positions, ranking placement or the like …
To paraphrase a song by the Steve Miller Band, I’ll leave you with this valuable lesson for today: “Go on take [your] money and run, Yeah! Go on take [your] money and run!
