I got a call from an SEO Company about 5 minutes after I deleted an E-mail from them.

This is the last straw…

FACT: SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization.

CRAP: SEO Companies spam you repeatedly to use their services because they care so dearly about your search engine results.
Why? It’s a simple (sadly efficient) form of advertising that targets the naive customer.

FACT: SEO is something that naturally comes with good, relevant material on a website.
Why? SEO Service would be like somebody offering you a manager for your business, but he’s already the manager for 12 other businesses. It just doesn’t make sense, right? Good material and having a better business than your competitor is what gets you a better ranking… not making it seem that way.

CRAP: An SEO service means selling you 500+ back links to your website.
Why? This is what we call “irrelevant content” and it’s never any good. Going out on the web and getting your own back links is always great though because this allows you to see what content is being linked to your website.

FACT: Paying for 500+ back links will more than likely be considered fraud and have you kicked off all major search engines.
Why? Imagine this: You have your own brick and mortar building for your business and to get people coming in, you put up 500 cardboard customers inside. When the time comes that an actual customer comes strolling in, they’ll realize it’s all just a show.

CRAP: “We’ll guarantee that your website will be number one in all search results!”
Why? This is the funniest thing in the world. SEO companies can’t possibly make this claim or anything close to it. Think about it! They can’t possibly help everybody out with SEO, because everytime they help one website get better rankings, they then create competition for themselves. So when their next customer comes around, it becomes that much more difficult to get better rankings. That’s why these types of services are complete crap!

FACT: There are hundreds of free tutorials on how to increase your search engine results.

CRAP: SEO Services

There’s no doubt that there’s a few decent and successful SEO Services out there, but I’ll tell you what, it’s not the ones spamming your E-mail.

Cheers!
