If you don’t like people pointing out overblown claims then don’t make them, or if making them helps bring in the clients and you want to continue the practice then grow a thick skin and don’t get too offended when someone points them out.

More what I meant to say… I wanted to upgrade my utahfirms.com posting but the site is temporarily down. I will change my profile once it goes live. As for $375, this price is sometimes called in the industry as a “lost lead” for an action that the potential client can call me to get started with my services. Back in 2006 when I made that profile, the campaign strategy got immediate results.

It is not a con game that I run at SEOgame Inc. I’ve had recurring clients since 1999 that have paid over $1,000 – 1,500 a month to keep them going. I currently have 10 other clients that have been with my services for month after month. As for organic search engine services, I started and keep all my clients and new clients to the top. That is my job along those I employ. However, one egg in the basket isn’t what makes them pay me each month year after year. It’s because relations are all about people and results. Each month I need to renew my monthly contract and achive my goals. I meet one on one with my clients and that’s business. Again, thanks for carry the water for my utahfirms post. It’s been my pleasure to be called a “con”servative SEO strategist here in Utah Valley. Have you ever heard of LinkBaiting?

Also, feel free to ask your friend Paul Allen who I am. I’m hoping he will still vouch for me as a SEO specialist just trying to make it happen for himself and his family and those he employs.

Thanks for carrying the water for my SEO firm post which has been modified. I tend to post things that work at the time. In 2006-2007 this strategy was a no brainer. I’ve been in the industry to since 1996 and know what a con is. If you have called me that then you really don’t know me at all. So I call what you posted about my services as slander and I resent it.

Jon, your comments were badly worded and difficult to follow. And I’m still wondering if you agree with Josh’s point-of-view or are trying to refute it.

Anyway, good article Josh. Thanks.

I think I have one to top your actual company claim – I found an SEO company (ranked highly well, organically I might add – at least at the time of search in Google under Organic SEO…) that not only claims to be able to do the things you just mentioned, but even admitted to outsourcing their optimization professionals! Just so that they could offer their services for just about the same rates asyou listed above.

This of course, brings up the question: “What’s so bad about outsourcing my SEO professionals?” Well, aside from not being able to communicate effectively with the person responsible for your internet presence and budget (wherein one of the most valuable weapons at your disposal is the extremely unique and relative content and links, which I doubt will hold up well in translation…), the entire point of ORGANIC SEO is that it takes hard work and experience in web design to understand the way search engines view your site and continually keep up with the latest optimization techniques (NOT tricks…). So, everything having been said, the optimization of your website is definitely one of those times where you need QUALITY, not QUANTITY, and the entire point of outsourcing work is to get more for less, which as everyone who has lived in western civilization for any given period of time knows, is actually too good to be true. Hopefully you will read these two articles and either decide to do your own search engine optimization or use a company that can better meet your web site needs.
