The number of web based companies to “claim” to know SEO and may get their clients in trouble. I got into a fierce debated with a local web designer mail list, with all the big boys in my town. Some guy had hidden links and text wrapped in tags all in his code.Some folks have bartered with quality SEO companies – and that’s always an interesting way to gain a service without paying cash for it. Granted, not every company can do that.

SEO Zombie (love the name!)

Yes, it is amazing how many “experts” are out there. I actually don’t worry about the folks who have been doing it since 1998. Those folks seem to be OK (as long as they keep up.) What worries me are the folks who jump on the seo copywriting bandwagon and push an “expert” status – and they have two years or less of experience…

Good luck opening your SEO firm! Thanks for your comment!

I found your site on technorati and read a few of your other posts. Keep up the good work. I just added your RSS feed to my Google News Reader. Looking forward to reading more from you down the road!

I am sometimes floored by the number of web based companies to “claim” to know SEO and may get their clients in trouble. I got into a fierce debated with a local web designer mail list, with all the big boys in my town. Some guy had hidden links and text wrapped in tags all in his code. When I called this out as a bad practice, I had a flood of designers telling me I was clueless…
The world is full of “SEO” done by people who learned about the industry in 1998.
In my town, only one company does “real SEO”, and I could blow them away because they lack serious skill. Just waiting until I finish up college and open my own seo firm.

Hi, Mayank,

It’s true that hiring a SEO costs money -and when you’re just starting out and it’s between paying rent and paying a SEO…well…the SEO goes out the window!

Some folks have bartered with quality SEO companies – and that’s always an interesting way to gain a service without paying cash for it. Granted, not every company can do that.

Additionally, there are some great local SEOs out there that don’t charge an arm and a leg, and do good work. If you’re in a place where a SEO budget is possible, it’s always worth checking pricing and providers.

Thanks!

Good points.The search engines cannot distinguish between deliberate attempts to fool them, and genuine mistakes by beginners.
Only thing is people who have just started out may not be able to afford professional SEOs.
