9 Things You Should Know In Doing Business With SEO Firms
Here is a list of things you should know when you plan to get the services of an seo firm to do web search engine optimization for your website:
• Be wary of SEO firms that send you email all of a sudden.
• No one can guarantee a #1 ranking on major search engines results.
• Be cautious if the firm is secretive or won't clearly explain what they intend to do.
• Avoid SEO firms that talk about the power of "free-for-all" links, link popularity schemes, or submitting your site to thousands of search engines. These techniques are downright useless.
• Assess every SEO proposals with utmost care.
• Choose wisely. While you consider whether to go with an SEO, you may want to do some research on the industry first. Doing your homework is equally important.
• Know where the money goes.
• Talk to many SEO experts, and ask other tem if they'd recommend the firm you're considering.
• Finally, make sure you're legally protected.

Your blog’s really hard to read with CSS off – spiders will find the content near the end of the page too!
Do you have any specific advice for legal protection? Links, etc?

Thank you for the tips.
A friend of mine has received an offer last month from a SEO company. This offer was in general:
- You pay us $ 15 000
- We guarantee you 4th position in Google
????
They even hadn’t mentioned for which keyphrases they “guarantee” that position…
It was a great fun for us to read this offer.
Regards,
William

Very useful information. While doing SEO, there’re many negative ways named as “black hat”. We should avoid it.
Good article, I hope I have time to translate it into Chinese, hope more people can read it.
