Hi,

We have been approached by a company who claim they can get us on page one for ALL our keywords. They took me to google, got me to type 'house insurance' and position 6 'trdirect' is their handy work.

Well when I look at the page I see the keyword 'house insurance' twice on the page and once in the title tag. That is not enough to give anyone a genric listing of 6 concidering the high competition this market commands.

So when I asked how they did it they talked about 'the article we wrote for them'.

So is this right.

You write an article 'keyword stuffed' with a link to your website, and google instead of indexing the article, boosts the page linked to in the article?, why would it do that and not index the article?

is that what this blog thing is all about, and if so, now I understand the question on this forum 'is content still king' because the resounding answer would have to be 'NO'.

how on earth does writing some keyword stuffed rubbish linking to my site make my site be no.1 in google, and if it can , then google's algo's need an overhaul.

crickey, if this is how it works, you could have a million BAD reviews, slaging off your company, website , service, products etc.. and that actually makes you no.1 in google because of all the keyword rich articles linking to your site, how stupid would that be.

That really is 'celebrity world' gotta be in the news, even if it's bad press, as long as people still hear of me, 'any news is good news' syndrome.

Man that sucks, please tell me it's not true and they are using black cat methods to boost SERP position.


Edit: Oh and if it is how it works, what questions do I need to ask to ensure they are reputable and we don't get banned by a dodgy SEO company, what info do I need to know before concidering using them and do I even need to use a company for this, if it's genuine, surely your better getting an expert to write aticles than someone like me who wouldn't know where to start, PR Press Release is not my forte!
