    Top 10 Placement on 8 out of 10 Top Search Engines

    I was contacted by a company that offered me that deal for $3000. Is it worth it or is it a scam?

    The pitch sounded good and for $3000 they gauranteed top placement on 8 out of 10 search engines including Google, Yahoo, Excite, and Lycos to name a few.

    This sounds too good for only $3000 since the return would obviously surpass that amount in no time.

    Any thoughts?

      Thats a lot of money to shell out, you better check out the company and make sure they are for real.
      No sig, just here to fuck around.

              Guaranteeing top rankings is always a red flag. Guaranteeing on 8 out of 10 is more like a roadblock. My guess, is that all this company is doing is going to use pay per click search engines to get you those top rankings. Overture, Findwhat, Adwords and Lycos will be enough PPC engines to cover the majority of all the big search engines. By the sound of this pitch, they'll just pay 10-15c per click on low volume search keywords and "guarantee" you the top rankings. Either way, this is way too fishy for me. Ask for references and list of current keywords they have top listings for.

                  According to them, they research your industry and find out what keywords are utilized the most to find sites in your industry. Then they let you choose 12 keywords that they optimize for you. They have a pretty impressive client list and I was almost sold on the idea but I'm a skeptical person by nature.

                      I still believe they're going the PPC angle like I explained. Check out the keywords they claim to have top rankings for, don't buy just because they have fortune 500 companies in their client list. I could list off that ebay is a client and simply use their affiliate program through CommissionJunction. A client list means nothing in the SEO world with affiliate programs everywhere. Ask for actual results. Ask them to show you a keyword they're currently doing for a client and see where it ranks on the 10 engines they claimed. I'm willing to bet its a very uncompetitive keyword or they're using a PPC engine and using that as their "results".

                          I got the same call. It is not PPC but they do server redirects so only use domains that you can afford to lose. If you go for words that will pay you back the 3k expect your competitors to turn you in.

                              sure,,,just place the money in an escrow account,,and they'll get it when the results are in.


                              No one will ever do that though.

                                  I've seen such companies that offer such guarantees, yet they're on about the 10th page of the s.e.'s ..

                                      Can't guarantee any SEO, unless PPC of course.

                                                      just got that same phone call from traffic-power. For 3000$, it's a heck of a price. I think, that if they want to come into the adult business, they have to be more open and truthfull. I ask them if they had any other tgps (I was contacted about Raven TGP, which is already number one on that term on google)...but wouldn't tell me in the name of fair competition . At first she talk about a million hits, then 10 000. Garanteed listing then not that garanteed. 3000$ then a payment plans system...you see a trend here ? One thing is simple tho: You go to their site and you don't see any description of their prices, and what they specifically offer for that price, and how you can pay. For me it's hahahahahan there...you can't put your prices and offers in a specific manner on your website, that means you are not up to par with your competitors for the price you are asking or services.

                                                      It might have been a very legitimate business but you have to be more professionnal in the way you expose yourself when you ask such a price. They have a top 10 list of business, that i have seen, but sorry, i was not impress...

                                                          Google themselves will tell you NOONE can give you a placement on their search engine. They say 8 out of 10? One will not be google, so that leaves 9. If they pick un challanged keywords and link you up everywhere you might make it, but how's that a guarantee?

                                                              I'm doing a test campaign right now with them, so far so good. I've got a few top ten listings but nothing really great yet. They're located in Las Vegas and are a really large company with plenty of proprietary software and such.

                                                              Read the terms carefully because they only guarantee a few top ten listings.

                                                              PS:
                                                              There are a lot of good SE specialists here, but this company has 100 times the resources of all of them combined.

                                                              I'll let you know how it goes.

                                                                      Yeah they aren't the most professional business out there. I think they're undergoing changes or something.

                                                                      They had a salesperson call me without even looking to see if I was already using them, lol.

                                                                      I said to the guy: "Is this a sales call?"

                                                                      He said yes and I told him to do his homework next time.

If you search their site, it won't list on Google at all. That says a lot about a company that boasts they can get you on the top 10 in no time.

There are some, but not that many.

                                                                                                              In regards to the stats, what they're showing you just looks like usage logs from webalizer (ex: http://www.mrunix.net/webalizer/sample/). Nothing really fancy about it, its just a nicer template than the generic ones Webalizer provides.

                                                                                                              As for the results they are getting for you, I'm sorry to say its all the same listings. Netscape's listings are provided by Google. So a #1 ranking on Google means number one on Netscape automatically. Same for C|Net, provided by Google. So in reality, they've got you 2 rankings, not 5.

Netscape's listings are provided by Google. So a #1 ranking on Google means number one on Netscape automatically. Same for C|Net, provided by Google.

I'll let everyone know how it goes, but I think it would be better to do it on your own anyway. That way you keep all your domains, scripts etc. When/ if I stop using these guys I'll have nothing to show for it.

There are some, but not that many.

Nothing really fancy about it, its just a nicer template than the generic ones Webalizer provides.

So, your stats Dave are very enlighting... The fact that they aren't even listed on google is a thumbs down, all way down...

They prefer to do massive campaigns obviously, but I'll be able to tell whether or not they are any good with my small test campaign of 20 keywords.

It was a year contract. When I was talking to the lady on the phone it was more like I was talking to a used car salesman rather than a professional in the SEO industry.

Guaranteeing on 8 out of 10 is more like a roadblock. My guess, is that all this company is doing is going to use pay per click search engines to get you those top rankings. Overture, Findwhat, Adwords and Lycos will be enough PPC engines to cover the majority of all the big search engines. By the sound of this pitch, they'll just pay 10-15c per click on low volume search keywords and "guarantee" you the top rankings. Either way, this is way too fishy for me. Ask for references and list of current keywords they have top listings for.

                                                                                                                                                                                              I asked him to repeat the statement several times because I could believe what I had heard. He insisted it was true, but as I continued to challenge him on it, he hung up the phone...

                                                                                                                                                                                              I could be wrong, but I doubt it. Was there ANY validity to his remarks about the FTC?
                                                                                                                                                                                              ROFL ... I never heard a such thing . How would the FTC know actually when the algorythm is changed ? Not like it's an open code.
