Does this sound good? SEO developer guarantees top 3 positions for major keyword or money back.

csa_dummy · 04-24-2009, 02:26 AM

I am currently looking for an SEO developer for my website. I recently just hired one based in India (which I found through elance.com), about 8 months ago. He was able to do onpage optimization and create 150 inbound links to my site, along with other SEO works such as article submission, directory submission.

The problem is that the 150 inbound links were mostly PR0, PR1, and sometimes PR2. They were somewhat irrelevant to my niche market.

I started with about a top 10-12 position with my main keyword, and now I am in the top 8-9 position. Not really that impressive in my opinion.

Anyways, Ive been doing research online for SEO developers, and I stumbled upon this site called www(dot)internet(dash)empire(dot)com.

I emailed them for a quotation and the person I am speaking with is very professional and great to speak with. It is a company based in Singapore. You can check their website.

The guarantee he has is that he will guarantee me at the top 3 positions for 5 of my main keywords (I choose the big main keywords I have), or my money-back, full refund. This will be done in 6 months or less, and I will pay him the remaining 50% as the 5 keywords reach the top 3 position.

The price is $2,800 USD.

I wanted to ask the opinions here at Warrior Forum before I move forward with this. I believe that $2,800 is a little heavy on my end, but if it would mean getting the top 3 positions on Google.com for my top 5 keywords, this would be a wonderful deal.

Thanks in advance for your inputs!

Just becareful with the links, it could get you on the first page, but if the links are bad, you could find yourself kicked off very quickly and he won't have to refund you as you did get on the first page even if it was for a small amount of time.

I think, it's not worth the investment. As no one can guarantee a stable (1 to 3) ranking ( for competitive keyword) for long. I am not blaming any company but as I know this could be only possible through black hat technique which can harm your website sooner or later.

I would like to share one article that can help you the best in your query that is :

Well, my thoughts on it are this... what keywords are they guaranteeing??

When you see an SEO guarantee, they usually will guarantee stuff like, top 10 position for "your keyword phrase" (usually they'll put it in quotes, and have like a 3-4 word keyword phrase). This is worthless. Anyone can get a 3 or 4 word phrase in quotes to #1. That doesn't take skill.

However, if they are guaranteeing, say, five 2-3 word phrases (of your choice) NOT IN QUOTES, then it actually might be worth it. You'd have to study the contract very carefully.

All-in-all, I wouldn't take it though... sounds like a scam. You might pay them, they won't get the rankings, and just take off with your money. If they are in Singapore, what are you gonna do? Sue em? HA!

Guarantee is a dangerous word !

I won't go for it and for that much money. But, you can do one thing for now, ask them to give the reference of some existing client and then you contact that client directly to get the feedback about the company.

But still, you need to watch out for few things before you hand over the task to them.

That is the reason why there's only a handful of companies out there who know the real secrets to getting top ranking and a whole lot of clueless people having discussions pointing fingers. It's like the blind leading the blind. There was a time when people used to think that the Earth was flat rather than a sphere.

With regards to the past business that he has done, you can check the case studies below:

Yeah, I totally agree with you, guarantees usually make people feel like they’re going to get scammed.
