When considering buying seo services, be careful. We may have been voted one of the best seo companies in Scotland on results across the 3 major search engines but nobody at Hobo or any of the other seo companies anywhere in the world ‘knows conclusively how Google works‘.

Consider this quote from a Google employee;

“someone walked up to me and pretended like he wanted to bribe me: $500,000 for a 1st place ranking. I turned him down, because no one can guarantee a #1 ranking — not even me.”Matt Cutts

We make websites better, sticking as closely as possible to search engine guidelines. No tricks, just 8 years experience making and promoting websites. This is all that’s needed to get better placement in Google, Yahoo and MSN. This is considered ‘ethical’ seo.

Some companies don’t however, and will encourage you to buy their services with nonsense like;

  1. The “It’s all about Meta-Tags” Hustle
  2. The “We Build Fake Directories & Networks For You” Slight Of Hand
  3. The “We cannot show you results for clients as it is 100% confidential” Play
  4. The “We KNOW how Google works” Scam
  5. The “Google Algorithm Beating Strategy” Spin
  6. The “We don’t rank for any “seo” terms because we don’t want to - We use Adwords” Excuse
  7. The “19531 Number 1 positions for our clients” Comedy
  8. The “LSI Optimisation” Total Misdirection & Downright Lie
  9. The “Toolbar Page Rank Is Everything” Con
  10. The “Top Ten Guaranteed Rankings” Lie
  11. The “Submit To 75,000 Search Engines” Joke

There’s more to look out for, but if a company ‘guarantees’ search engine placement through seo, it’s a scam. There are no guarantees in SEO - it’s hard, logical work, with no magic bullet.

There are things you can do in seo to virtually guarantee more traffic from Google. We can help you devlop a long term strategy for successful penetration in all search engines.

PS - Always think twice before being duped by seo service companies who spam your email inbox with unsolicited junk mail designed specifically to target ignorant business owners. Even Google gets emails like these. It’s something Hobo has never done, and as an ethical seo company, will never will do.

Watch Out!
