Guaranteed Position in Google and yahoo

Discussion in 'Google' started by greenwing72, Aug 14, 2008.

    I have a business in California that says they can guarantee me a 1-3 position in google and yahoo search results for a set price per month. It is keyword based as well as geographically base. Basically I gave him a few keywords and states that I wanted to target and for $450 per month he would guarantee top 1-3 position in organic search results. This doesn't make any sense to me how he can do that, but I am no expert. What do you think?

    they can't guaranteed you nothing...for some keywords it's almost impossible to achieve top 3 position, or it takes many years any many financial resources for that..

    Nothing is guaranteed in the SERPS.
    Ask them for keywords of past clients to check how they rank.

    Better ask them for previous works, some proofs of solid works. Otherwise, just move on.

    Anyway, let me tell you that anyone that promises Top Rankings is fooling you, unless your competition is tiny, let's say, eg: smaller than 5 million. If that's the case, even a medium seo can beat them.

    I've beaten all my clients competitors till today, but i don't accept competition bigger than 5 millions because i don't want to ruin my good reputation. Right now i'm targeting a 34 million competition but i'm going to be paid ONLY if i get top 10 for 3 keywords. Started 3 months ago and till today the site is sandboxed so, right now just speding cash and working for the big bucks :)

    It is probably in the sponsored listings box on top of the organic search results. There are companies that purchase them from google or yahoo and resell to individuals while skimming a profit.

    I get the calls all the time. - Here is an article as an example

    I live in California and I work as internet marketer for a trade show display company. Currently I am in charge of running and optimizing two websites Currently our marketing budget per month is around the amount they are asking for.

    However, in my opinion you should take guarantees with a grain of salt in the Search Market Industry. If you were to pm a couple of your keywords and your site I could help you out and give you some tips that would help with your SERP rankings (free of charge)

    Thanks,

    Mike

    If they were able to do that, they'd put their own sites up there for some ridiculously awesome keyword phrases and make thousands of dollars at it. Why would they do it for somebody else for $450 a month?

    No one can guarantee a specific place in google search results. I suggest you do not pay for such service.

    The catch is they'll get you some crappy kw like "this is a good keyword for ranking cars autos soda" or something.

    Scam alert

    i don't think even expert seo can give a gaurentee about top 10 position. algo changes time to time.

    what keywords are they? if they are small and meaningful to only you i can see that happening. 450 a month is easy to do that. i can do it for you as well and im in california. Venice beach area. come in for a consultation

    If the keywords are not that competitive, I think any seo expert can guarantee you the results... (If they know what they are doing) however it's always depend on the keywords you are targeting ;)

    Nothing is guaranteed but if you have the money to invest it, I would say, try it and see the results.
