The Top four Scams in SEO Search Engine
OptimizationThe Internet has revolutionized the way we think, act and work. With millions of websites available, today's
consumers and professionals routinely turn first to Search Engines such as Google, Yahoo and MSN for information
on services and companies before deciding to contact them.
We all want our website to be #1 in search engines. But beware of search engine optimization firms
that promise the moon. They may not be able to deliver. Following are the top four scams in search
engine optimization, listed from bad to worst...
Get Listed In 1000s of Search Engines for only $30!
Sound too good to be true? It's not. At least not exactly.
What they count on is that you won't know that "listed" is not
the same thing as "found." That is, just because you are listed
in a search engine or directory doesn't mean that you will ever
be found. What good does it do you to be listed if your website
is found at number 500,000 out of 1 million?
This is what these people do:
- Take your money.
- Type your URL into an automated submissions program. (By the way, these are against most
search engine terms of use.)
- Run the program.
Now you've been submitted to 1000s of search engines including
foreign search engines, sports search engines, pet search
engines, and hundreds more search engines that a) you've never
heard of and b) may or may not be related to your website.
Dear IllDev.com,
We recently visited your website and noticed that you were not listed in major search engines...
Yes. We get these too. And no, no one actually went to our website and noticed anything. These are
automated emails sent to everyone on a list. Everyone. Even Google reports receiving these emails.
We will automatically link you to 100s of websites and increase your link popularity.
Automated link schemes are bad. They generate what are known
as link farms, long lists of unrelated or loosely related links
that plague the web. Search engines hate link farms because they
manipulate search engine results. And link farm participation is
cause for being banned from major search engines.
Guaranteed Rankings in Major Search Engines
Not all optimization firms that offer guarantees are bad.
That's why we consider this scam the worst of all: It's hard to
separate the bad from the good. Most search engine optimization
guarantees, when you get through the initial hype, are so general
and promise so little that anyone that knows the 1-2-3s of search
engine optimization could promise the same.
Some guarantees, however, are just too good to be true. Here's what you need to ask
about guaranteed rankings:
- What keyword or phrase am I going to rank under?
- Which search engine am I going to rank in?
- Where will I rank: top 10, top 20, top 30?
- How much time do you need to achieve these rankings?
- What exactly are you going to do to my site?
Firms that guarantee optimization may start to get a little
panicky if your site isn't ranking within the guarantee
stipulations. They might be willing to spam search engines to get
you ranking. Spam manipulates and interferes with search engine
rankings. And eventually spam will get you banned.
Make sure you completely 100% understand the guarantee before
you buy from anyone with guaranteed rankings.
