Would you buy SEO Services from...

Well the title tag you have is way to long, and you arent necessarily ranked very well-second page. Title tag length-67 characters, delete your meta keywords google doesnt use them anymore, and 155 characters for meta descriptions.

Also, no follow your twitter, facebook, and youtube icons. Lastly, you need a sitemap-cant find it.

Don't see you first page for any of the keywords you're stuffin' for. Just tryin' to help

I used to have a thread on this forum where I offered guaranteed rankings for a fixed price, with a line of txt to contact me for a quote.

Got about 6-8 requests, I quoted them for amounts between $600 and $1500, pretty decent as it definitely were not some local keywords, didn't hear back from anyone.

Never bumped the thread again as it was just a waste of time to figure out a price.

I don't even think it's a matter of wanting to be at the front row for a nickel, but more that the people just don't have any clue of what resources are needed to accomplish it.

aint that the Gospel truth. I have NEVER had a client pay me over a thousand dollars a month that was a pain in the neck but I have had sub $500 clients who think they should rank in 3 weeks. The lower you go is the more work they want done because to them their dollar is worth more than everyone elses.

Most of the companies ranking for SEO also TEACH it - Thats how they got their links - by becoming authorities in it. SEO moz, SEObook (even Wikipedia). IF you think that they are going to make you an authority in a niche that matters for sub $500 (which is what most people here think is oh so expensive) you are dreaming. In fact what it takes to rank for SEO isn't even something that can be duplicated for other niches anyway -Certainly not for less than tens of thousands.

Which is why I said that most comments are pretty funny - many people in this thread saying they would want to see rankings for something like SEO (or even another really competitive niche) before they would pay a SEO company are just flat out lying. I could point out two or three of them that have pretty much indicated they couldn't or wouldn't pay anybody to do SEO regardless so it doesn't matter if any SEO showed them where they rank - they still wouldn't be a legitmate customer. :rolleyes: lol

But on another related note this is why people keep saying SEO is dead on this board - because the SEO that still does very much work is not something that can be had for little or no money and is therefore either out of their league or out of their mentality. Google IS doing an excellent job of raising the cost of entry and its a good thing for those serious about their business. Any business that can be got into for the cost of two xbox games is going to be over run with kids or kidlike adults. The more valuable business ventures are the ones that take a whole lot of work to get into or a decent amount of dollars.

Its this welcome to the real world that has so many Imers crying but hey - They had to grow up or get out sometime

I always laugh at threads like this (okay not really laugh but smile). A bunch of you always say you would never hire a SEO company that is not ranked for SEO when we all know perfectly well that you cannot afford ANY top SEOs that rank for that term and can barely pay anyone anything to speak of anyway.

Besides most of you haven't even bothered to look - Out of the top five companies that rank for SEO only ONE at number five even offers SEO. Truth is most companies that do SEO don't even try to rank their sites for that term. the sheer resources it takes could do much better closing paying customers' sites by ranking them in their own niche.
