These packages all sound like from someone who has no clue what they are doing.

It does mention a few things about on-page optimization, but the key of any solid SEO is link building, not "exchange". Link exchange never worked, does not work and will never work.

"Guaranteed link backs up to 35 with good PR sites". What is considered "good"?

It doesn't mention it's strategy on how to increase keyword rankings. I think this SEO firm is confused about acutal keyword rankings with PageRank.

Bottom line - stay away from this company. Every time you search for a SEO firm, make sure to ask for their own rankings for seo-related keywords. If they can't bring their own site up, you think they can do yours?

Hi CityRocker
gobeyond makes valid points but I wouldn't say link exchange never worked. Give short, take long in terms of PR etc.

Resubmission? No, no, no. Submitting to search engines? What date is this? What year?

Guarantee? What's the guarantee? There are two types of guarantee in SEO: one of them is a lie, the other means you get your money back. Best to get the second type.

I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss these guys as gobeyond is, but there are definitely some 'wrong notes' in that list. Point them at this thread, if you like. You may prefer not too though. Maybe their SEO guy didn't write this list, that's happened to me before.

Well said and to the point.

Also beware of bogus offers made by a number of companies which are sure to lure you. Look for existing customers of that particular companies which you might be interested in and see for their reviews and testimonials.

sounds a little fishy, then reciprocal linking? no one uses reciprocals no anymore they will devalue your site. Sounds like to me its a scam from a india company, no offense just being honest. Also it says submission to major search engines, who submits to search engines any more? there no need for that, thats just a sales pitch.

Some un~internet savy business owner don't understand you can get your website into SE's by linking.

For some, they don't even want to know how you get them there, they just want to be there. Its easier to sell the product - search engine submission -

Instead of saying to a customer that doesn't understand the inet { and might not want to } - We will give you a link from a page off our website and that will get you into Google.

I could tell by reading that, and the way it was worded and the work that was being produced. Just kind of comes in your nature when you work with seo every day, and the web . (remember I'm the best )

I run a seo company smaller on based in Anderson, IN. Quite honestly they should be doing recommedations along the way, and doing reviews periodically of your site, and giving ou suggestions on what needs to be done, working with your money in a wise way that is beneficial for you, not working your money to be beneficial to them, and not you.
