Not all SEO companies KNOW what they are doing!

Hello blogging world it is me again. I just came across an article I thought you would like to read.

Business Digest Internet Advancement told to refund clients

SEATTLE — The state attorney general said yesterday Redmond-based Internet Advancement must pay penalties for failing to get its customers top placement on major search engines.
Internet Advancement, which also goes by 4GreatBuys.com, must refund customers, pay $24,432 to the state for costs incurred and a civil penalty of $25,000.

The company had promised to get its customers ranked in the top 10 to 20 results on the search engines for $980 to $1,500 in set-up fees and monthly fees of $79.80 to $89.95.
The case involved "search engine optimization" services, which attempt to get businesses high placement in search-engine results.

"Internet Advancement misrepresented its success rate, promised more than it could deliver, then refused to provide refunds to customers who didn't get what they paid for," said Attorney General Christine Gregoire.

She said the Attorney General's Office, the Federal Trade Commission and the Better Business Bureau received more than 100 complaints from customers around the country.


This is why at MCW we do not ever quote that we will be able to get you to a certain number in Google rankings. You must know, no-one can guarantee the top spot in Google. I can say I will improve your ranking and in doing so should get you more traffic. On another note, based on past history an SEO firm could possibly suggest that they will be able to move you to the first page, based on your Keywords. Long-tail keywords are easier to rank higher for than short. Keep this in mind when you choose an SEO firm.

I hope this information was helpful. Again, you can always help by sending this to a friend.

  1. You are absolutely right! Some companies just claim that they cam promote your site, but in reality they do nothing but get money from you. It's better to use writing services and get unique quality articles to improve your site.
