SEO's that can't SEO - GoFuckYourself.com

So I am poking around Craigslist and see this ad that will guarantee a top ten Yahoo listing, but when you search Yahoo for their name, (which should yield the #1 spot) it doesn't.

Worse, when you do an exact search for their company name, Yahoo gives exactly four results, and they are #3

They guarantee the top 10 ranking or you get an additional term of promotion free.

I hate to think how many people are getting ripped for their $495 house special.

There is no way in the world would I hire a SEO from Craigslist.

I can't belive how many suckers likely fall for ads like this, they are probably the same desperate bastards that think spamming a million people their mismangeded fraction of a penny stock will keep their house out of forclosure.

Craigs list used to be good but now it's a favorite tool for scammers...

Can't say I'm surprised. Be weary of any SEO who guarantee's results or positioning.
