    Many pages don't have meta-keywords; those that have them, list keywords space-separated (it should be comma-separated); none of the pages has DOCTYPE; pages do not validate as transitional HTML; some links are broken in the SSL mode; What did they say they did?

    This is true. There is not much for the SE's to look at. There is little pertinent text on the homepage. And there should be more keywords. Add more words to title up to 10, etc... $3200 a lot of money. I would be giving my developer a lot of crap and a big list to fix the bugs before I shelled out all the money.

    Wow, do they actually say WHAT they did for the money?
    I'm no expert, but I see barely anything there for the SE's to grab hold of in order to send people there.
    I'd really ask for a breakdown.


    Cheers

    It seems scammy to not put good meta tags or keywords in the site and to try to charge extra for it. Don't let him do this! Make sure you get your money's worth.

    If it's true that they already recieved the $3,200 from your friend, and are saying that the work is all complete then I think you should name this company right here in this thread.

    For $3200 they did WHAT...? I see ZERO evidence of search optimization on this site.

    Even the most inept of optimizers would have included more then what is displayed here. There are no H1 tags, titles are ridiculous, not even the on page content has not been optimized.

    What sort of deliverables has your friend recieved..? Keyword popularity or density analysis, traffic projections, on page code recommendations or ANYTHING to quantify the $3200..?

    I can't fathom handing over $3200 for the 'DIET spider food' that is currently on the pages there. I include more SEO in my cheapest website design package - standard - but of course thats just me.

    If I, or my family, or any of my friends had paid $3200 to someone for search engine optimization, and THIS is what I got in the end....the individual with my $3200 would be getting a visit to discuss the terms of my refund. Period.
