Guaranteed Rankings
It’s 2008 and there are still companies doing the “Guaranteed #1 Ranking in Google” crap. I was in LinkedIn today and saw an ad for guaranteed rankings. I am NOT linking to them through here, but the name of the site is BeRankedNumber1 dot com.
They even have a live chat person. I was curious, so I got online and asked what they do, what tactic they use. The response asked for my site and they’d tell me. I said no, that I wanted to know how they did it and if I could choose the words that I rank #1 for. All I got was “No what?”
Yeah, I can get anyone’s site ranking for some scatterbrained keyword. That’s so freaking easy. And what is more annoying is people fall for this shit. This site had no SEO for itself, but doing nothing that violates Google TOC, so I can’t really report it. I mean how do you explain to the world of non-internet people that this stuff doesn’t work? That they are throwing their $200/month down the drain.
This was right up there with the letter I got in the mail one day that said I owed $300 for SEO services. But at the bottom stated it wasn’t a bill. *sigh* These people should be locked away and beaten.
