WiredGuy, if you aren't willing to back up your promises with a contractual guarantee, then you're in the wrong business.
No one can 100% guarantee you that they can get you the results you need. No one has an absolute influence or power over the search engines.
But responsible SEO's should sign a contract with the client detailing under which conditions the SEO should be paid. This contract should include a placement range and a timeframe detailing how quickly the ranking must be obtained, and how long the ranking must be held before the SEO is paid.
This guarantees that the client isn't paying for failed services or services that are not above board. It guarantees that if the ranking is not obtained, the SEO is not paid.
When my company started to offer Guaranteed SEO, that is what we meant. Our promises are guaranteed. If we don't deliver, you don't pay. There are no upfront charges.
Some people, including you, WiredGuy, twisted my words and tried to make me look incompetent. However, anyone who could read clearly saw that we could not guarantee that we could achieve any ranking the client desired... we were guaranteeing that the client wouldn't pay if we couldn't.
I'd be careful selecting an SEO that doesn't offer a contractual guarantee as I have outlined.
Also, I'm sorry but we no longer accept clients. I just wanted to make this clear for StickyGreen's benefit.
