No one can guarantee first page position on google and there are many SEO companies boasting to achieve that in couple of weeks if not days! Statement from google: "Beware of SEOs that claim to guarantee rankings, allege a "special relationship" with Google, or advertise a "priority submit" to Google. There is no priority submit for Google." In the past few weeks I got emails from SEO companies offering just that! I would read the following before to talking to any SEO "guru": http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=35291
That is nonsense.. If they someone can guarantee my Top ranking for "SEO" I will pay them$111111111111111111111
Yes definitely google does not know any SEO company. I saw many SEO company websites stated on their homepage that " we have contract with google for getting top position in search engine" . Its really nonsense. These companies are just grabbing newbies, not professionals.
Exactly, this is my point. Since I have joined this form I received emails like this one, you know I have never even asked anybody to do anything for me. email: Please let me know if you are still interested in getting your keywords with the most relevant traffic on the top of google yahoo and bing.com We know how to make you the get your website to the top of the natural listings. We have been in business for 7 years and have been adapting our methodology and have over 900 plus happy clients with thousands on the first page of google. I have attached a proposal with a more in depth analysis of our process; please read it. Please let me know your thoughts.
Awareness is extremely important specially for newbies. They might fall in to these traps unknowingly and loose their big money. Be aware of any out of ordinary things such as this.
Obviously there are no guarantees, but if you keep working and working and working and working, you can get to the first page. Maybe not spot 1, but first page is doable if you have the knowledge and persistence, sure it may take years, but whatever.
companies that "guarantee" such ranking are the ones to stay away from. if they really can achieve such ranking, then why not get their own affilaite sites ranked top and make killer residual inclome month after month and not just some one time fees for their services? no legitimate seo company will offer such ranking
I cannot believe people actually believe sites like this to be honest. It amazes me that people think that people can legitemately gurantee that someone can get you Number One in Google.
Most of them simply buy adwords ads and bid their way to the top 3 on the first page. Then they show their client this "top" position. The client has no idea that these are 'sponsored' ads, and what that means. All they know is "we got to the top in one month!". And then they pay big time. I can not believe how many of my own friends have no idea that the top 3 ads are paid. Not only that, they don't care. They always click that very first listing. It blows me away because I *never* click ads, *never*. /*tom*/
lol, I've seen companies post similar sayings. "First page of google in less than a week!" or "First page guaranteed!" I actually was bored so I sent an email to a few of these "Awesome" SEO companies and asked them for proof and to give me some urls where they have gotten 1st place rankings or at least 1st page rankings. They were listed #1 or #2 but it was out of less than 100,000 search results haha, that's a failure. They aim for super long tailed keywords to rank your site. They will probably get you to rank #1 but you have barely any competition and no one will ever search that super long tailed keyword anyways. So you actually lose whatever you paid the company because it will never even pay for itself. I hope no one here falls for those SEO companies. Now if a company could get me ranked #1 out of say 25,000,000+ search results and let me pick my own keywords, I'd definitely think it's a scam. But if there was such a company that could actually do that within a week I'm sure they would not have some SEO company website. They would have their own product site or affiliate site and be making a ton of money.
Adding to the discussion above, I have seen a lot of other affiliate sites selling some b******t secret with few crappy video testimonials claiming that they got high ranking within a couple of days...I doubt whether any1 buys them...one shld not be even remotely aware about SEO to go for it
I have again received email from the same company. I am getting fed up with this. Send them an email that I do not wish to receive any more emails. """ Hello, Please let me know if you are still interested in getting your keywords with the most relevant traffic on the top of google yahoo and bing.com We know how to make you the get your website to the top of the natural listings.

When there is no competitors than it's possible. I had a webpage and there wasn't competitors. After a week without any content on the site, without seo my page was on the first place because of webpage name.
I could not agree with you more. I had a website and very basic keywords no SEO not much content and guess what. First goole page third position.
SEO helps a lot. If a company guarantees it and has reliable testimonials, there is no reason to doubt their knowledge.
Caveat emptor ("Let the buyer beware!") always applies, whether it's SEO or any other unsolicited offers.
