Default SEO scam

There are so many companies offering to get you ranked on Google or any search enginges for a fee.
There is one company cold calling site owners offering fantastic results for seo.
Unfortunately this company is either outright crooks or totally incompetent.
Their method is to get you to buy key word phrases then build a mirror site that has elements of your main site with the key words inserted randomly. Thus the copy makes no sense.
It looks like an orangutang did it.
This totally destroys your brand.
When questioned, their response is 'what did you expect?'
Avoid them at all costs!
This company is SEOUSA PROS

There is a lot of this out there. They are trying to use a black hat spam type technique. This is bad news. I would check your contract. This can damage your brand for sure. Unfortunately, there are a lot of companies doing this type of garbage.

Most companies do not do search engine marketing properly. If you are using a company to help you obtain higher rankings in the search results, I would try and get an idea of what they are doing. Often, these companies are doing things that could get you into trouble.

Remember, you can do all of this yourself. Search Engine Optimization is not hard at all.

Google has some great tips to staying safe from companies that promise to get you the #1 spot.


Hope this helps.

That all depends on the market you are involved in.

I sit next to a SEO at work. Over three months I have learned a fair amount about SEO by overhearing conversation. But this is the first time I have heard of the Official Survey Page.
