I think this article is perfect for me, while reading your introduction of the Twilight Zone narration, I was thinking to myself, “I don’t think they ever used the word newbies… but I don’t know” and sure enough by the end of it I had caught on, that it wasn’t a real narration but a clever interpretation. Still, it makes me wonder in what other areas am I not “catching on”… could I be the next SEO scammed?

Nice post. I agree with most of what your SEO scam guide mentions, with one exception.

When you consider all the rip-offs calling themselves SEO’s these days, the only way to keep things fair is to offer a positioning guarantee to clients. Of course you cannot emphatically guarantee to a client that the search engines’ algos will respond to your efforts, however, unless they do, your client should not have to pay for “incompetency.”

Thanks for this article. It reinforces a lot of the lessons I have already learned the hard way. It should be required reading for newbies.

Excellent article.

I can especially identify with points 3 and 5. We run an SEO service and we don’t offer any unrealistic guarantees. We also offer a month-to-month contract instead of a long term contract.

Unfortunately, many SEO companies believe in offering “guarantees” and locking you into long term contracts.

The only thing is, this whole “guarantee” thing really attracts clients as it seems to reduce the risk. It’s really an uphill battle convincing people that there is no such thing as an SEO guarantee.

Commonsense isn’t very common these days. And the internet makes it even harder to retain one’s common sense. Thanks for the reminder to be wary of these schemes.
