As someone who takes great pride in my work helping companies achieve great rankings for their businesses and improving their bottom line I feel very sad when I see such articles. Not everyone in the business is a scam artist and many of us do follow Google’s guidelines and get excellent results. Unfortunately, all the time when I am talking about our services to potential clients they are very cynical about SEO because of what they have heard. Yes, there are many scammers, like in many business fields. But please don’t tar us with the same brush. Many of the tips you offer in researching a good SEO company above are very good pieces of advice especially the stuff about guaranteeing results in Google without any money back offer. As always: buyer beware. Ask to see results. Get full explanations and above all have clear goals for what you want to achieve, get clear how the company intends to deliver and find out what they are prepared to do for you if they don’t. But please don’t tar us all with the same brush. Good SEO practice is complex and always evolving. Getting it right takes years of experience. And with years of experience comes pride in what you do. We are not all evil!

The real S.E.O. people give you full disclosure and usually don’t have an affiliate program. I would tend to stay away from any S.E.O. or lead generation companies that have an “affiliate program” which they push heavily!

Great article this is informative, Link building is important but having high PR backlinks are most important. Like you said “paying $0.10 per link wont even matter if they don’t have PR”. When I look for a backlink I make sure its at least above PR 4 if not I don’t bother. Great Post most businesses should read this.
