Although I’m just a novice at performing my SEO duties, it’s just a difficult task in making sure you don’t overdo Black hat tactics.

I started off posting in blogs being told that quantity is better than quality…after a little while, and reading various sites. I guess that I don’t wish to be a Black Hat person.

Cheers for the enlightening post. Good luck keeping the ‘good blog’ comments at bay.

That is a good article Google wrote. It seem that all the SEO firms are offering guarantees… But it says right there no one can guarantee a #1 ranking on Google.

Hi Cashflow, yes you are correct, no one can guarantee a number 1 listing for any keyword on Google, and any firm that makes such a guarantee should be avoided at all costs!

There are just too many SEO scammers around the globe and it has became a challenge for corporate business to look for a reputable one. However, i will definitely advice everyone to take a close look at their statistics. If they promised some great results(usually), then look at their own rankings. Are they ranked in the top 10 results for competitive keywords in their industry. More often than not, SEO scammers do not rank well for well-search terms such as SEO.
