It is borderline pathetic how little people know about SEO. Then someone comes in and dazzles (lies to) them with charts, graphs, demographic size, number 1 rankings, etc.

These locals will pay anything and get nothing. Then I go in there and tell it like it is…It will take a long time to rank for “mycity mortgage” but it’s possible. They pass because they don’t want to wait…lame.

Scary stuff lyndoman – personally I can’t understand how firms get away with shit seo now – sure businesses don’t understand the basics of seo and therefore hire a “professional” but surely anyone supposedly working in seo/ web design can find seomoz, wmw, highrankings et al?
There absolutely no reason for poor seo nowadays :(

I am suprised at how much SEO work goes to the Third World, which in a way is cool. However it doesn’t put bread on my table and does not give an up cloase and personal service, which you need if you are going to cut the throat of your competition.

I feel sorry for the small guys.

If they don’t know what they are doing they get caught out by a snakeoil/linkfarm/coldcallsales SEO firms.

And if they do a wee bit of research might end up with big city firm charging them thousands of pounds to submit articles outsourced to companies where English isnt the first langauge.

The sad thing about it all is that it gives the whole industry a bad name.

I actually did a similar post to this last night. It kind of makes you realise why there’s the snake oil salesman tag attached to SEO by some.
