Have you been $tung by an $EO company?

I was recently speaking to a colleague of mine who had just paid for a new web site for his business.   The site was nice, but he paid too much for it.    He also signed up with an SEO company, who offered unbelievable promises with regards to his site ranking on Google.   $500 setup and $250 a month for them to help his site get better ranking on Google.

I was horrified at not only what he was being charged, but at the promised made to him, for a Number 1 Google listing.    I told my friend that they could possibly be using content farms to list his site higher, and I was stunned when he replied, "Yep, that's what the company said it would do."

Content farming is against Google's rules, and if your site is involved with it they may remove your site from Google.

There are SEO companies out there who are ripping people off, making outlandish promises and charging absurd fees.    Don't be stung!   SEO is not difficult to do, and most people with some basic web site knowledge can do it themselves for free!

Before you sign up to anything like this, please speak to someone in the know.   I don't mean speak to us, speak to anyone who has some experience with this type of thing.   We hate seeing people taken advantage of simply because they don't know better.
