5 Questions To Ask A Prospective SEO Service

Did you know that hiring the wrong organization to handle your SEO Services could not only cost you thousands of dollars a year more than you need to pay...

But it could get your website banned by Google for up to 6 months or more!


That's right, choosing the wrong Search engine optimization services could mean having your website become totally disappear from the google search engine.

So how do you choose an agency to do the SEO work on your website?
Here are a few questions to think about when choosing SEO agency...

1) Do they use any black hat or spamming techniques such as:


a) Keyword stuffing (This is the unethical practice of stuffing your page, title and Meta tags with your targeted keywords. This will get you penalized by the search engine)

b) Invisible Text: (This technique tries to cheat the system by putting lists of keywords in white text on a white This is a definite no-no!)

c) Doorway Pages: (Imagine having an invisible web page that only an Internet spyder can see. This page has all of your keywords on it and is designed to trick the spyders into considering your website as important)

d) Any other technique that is designed to "trick" the search engines:
(Heres a tip...If they talk about tricking or fooling the search engines then run for the hills.)

2) How long will it take to see results?

· Run and hide from any SEO company that promises results in 24-72 hours. Remember black hat techniques may work temporarily...but you will eventually pay the real price when Google bans you.

· Expect results to begin to organically occur anywhere between 60-90 days of continuous honest SEO activity.
3) Do they promise to blast your website out to thousands of directories overnight?

· This is a signal to keep on looking for another SEO organization. Such directory submission services that offer immediate gratification may get you short-term results...but will definitely register a warning signal with Google.

· Directory submission is one way to get your website indexed...however it needs to be submitted by hand (not by automatic software) and it needs to be done slowly and steadily over several weeks and months to be effective.


4) Do they have a website of their own?

· You would be surprised how many so-called SEO experts do not even have a website of their own.

· Make sure they have a real website, with real references & with a real phone number so you can check them out!

5) Do They Guarantee Your Site Ranking # 1 on Google?

· No one can guarantee the #1 spot on Google. Sure they may do it for a few days.... but they usually involve black hat SEO techniques. No one can guarantee the #1 position because Google specifically changes their algorithms to keep one step ahead of the black hat SEO companies.
· Other times such #1 rankings have nothing to do with SEO...but are really a PPC campaign (pay for click) service in disguise.
