Well, So far, My rankings in google have not changed, except for my rankings for “Front Wheel Bearings”, but I am still no page 3, which means nothing.
Rankings have went down in yahoo, probably just regular fluctuation.
will be canceling very soon.
Don’t waste your time with these people.

Considering how deceptive Venkat has been on this blog post about his company, I wouldn’t touch these guys with a 10 foot pole.

Nothing to report as far as their SEO services for me.
They say that they have made me some one way links.
In the beginning they also said it would take 8-10 weeks to get my site ranked highly, that’s past the trial period. I’m not paying them $200, unless I see some improvement for the targeted keywords, but that’s not going to happen.

Hilarious Venkat huh? And heres a snapshot of my analytics and the number of times you’ve hit my site:

Notice that IP address? Did you really think you could post anonymously and act like your company was just peachy?

Care to comment? You guys need to step up your SEO abilities and quit spamming my clients and everyone else. Good luck, you’re going to need it.

I’ll leave you the opportunity to apologize.

Hi Venkat,
Because the reason I created this post in the first place is because they spammed my client. If you’re telling me that you’re thinking about hiring them, then you’re hiring a company that spams for business. Any SEO firm that ’spams’ for business is a joke. They’re supposed to be generating leads for companies because they have SEO expertise and can rank a website. Then why aren’t they ranking themselves to generate their own business?

ISO certification means absolutely nothing in the SEO field.

Are you familiar with the most popular SEO experts in the industry? Aaron Wall, Danny Sullivan, etc. These guys are not ISO certified and are the ‘founders’ of SEO knowledge.

You can’t claim a certification in a field, i.e. SEO, without it being backed by a legitimate organization and recognized worldwide. Google would never allow certification in SEO.

HI,
Thanks for the update, you missed my another important query, which will allow me to finally make a decision. “why/how you think the people I am planning to go with are spamming my business.” because they have proven credibilities and niche clients with ISO certification.

Not true. A long tail keyphrase is one thats simply not searched as much, hence the competition for that phrase is low, which in turn means theres no effort to rank it successfully.

You always have to look at the total number of results at the top right to determine how competitive a phrase is.

For you other request, searchengineland has a nice article.

I have learnt from the web(Google) that long tail keywords are those which are 3 or more words searched together. In that case “Charlotte SEO” is not categorized as long tail keyword? as suggested by you.

Wait for your comments.

Thanks for the update. But, as a beginner into the world of SEO, I would appreciate your help if you can tell me how do I choose my SEO service provider and why/how you think the people I am planning to go with are spamming my business.
I apologize if I am sounding silly but your inputs are greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Venkat, why would you sign up with a company that spams for your business?

Long tail:
Google “Charlotte SEO” -
http://www.google.com/search?q=charlotte+seo&sourceid=navclient-ff&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1B3GGGL_enUS289US289

Top right – Results 1 – 10 of about 999,000 for charlotte seo.

Theres only 1 million competing (and most are not competing) pages for that phrase. I’m on page one (www.charlotteseo.org) and I’ve never done one thing to rank the site except launch it.

Google “real estate marketing”
Results 1 – 10 of about 99,700,000 for real estate marketing.

Competition is up fierce right? Now an SEO company has to rank above and beyond 100 million other sites.

Price for the first: $50 bucks. Results: Immediate. Why? Long tail

Price for the second: $15k. Results: 1 year to 2 years if you’re lucky. Why? Short tail keyphrase.

(By the way) On Top Results is number 12 for that second phrase.
