With the economy the way it is,more and more people realize that they are internet marketing gurus who can somehow make a living by promising great traffic and fruits of joy to business owners.
I get at least 5-10 emails a day from so called “SEO experts”that guarantee that they can put my sites on first page of Google. Those emails make for instant spam fodder as any decent marketing entity will tell you that no one can guarantee success as ranking is something that is determined by search engines. Now don’t get me wrong here:a good marketing expert will make optimal conditions for your business to be picked up by search engines and can do tricks of the trade that will ensure a very likely success but guaranteeing first page rankings on Google is somewhat of an overkill.
The second thing I find quite amusing is that most of these so called “marketing firms”that can guarantee me great success usually have pathetic rankings themselves. I mean most of them have 2-3 backlinks and have been created less than a month ago. They also almost always have a 0 page ranking and never shwo up on searches. Would I trust these companies to make my business successful? I think not.
Online marketing is serious business and can make or break a newly formed company that relies heavily on internet traffic. With the current economic conditions,more and more evil people are engaging in promising things they cannot do. This involves overseas scams and marketing promises that cannot be completed. Do your research and pick up the phone and do not be shy to ask the company/individual how they can make it happen for you.
