How SEO Scammers can deliver page 1 of Google
It’s simple, really – you should have thought of it yourself.
All they have to do is choose a long-tail keyword that is somehow related to your site, and optimize for it. A quick keyword search, even with free keyword search tools, will show you long tail keywords that no one else is optimizing for. And if you don’t find any, you can easily make them up.
The trouble is, hardly anyone is searching for them – but these scammers don’t promise visitors – they only promise page one of Google.That’s how they can operate without being labeled as fraudulent.
If you check them out, you’ll notice that YOU don’t get to choose the keywords. They may tell you that it’s best if their “experts” do it for you – what a crock! It’s best alright – for them!
I’ll bet anyone reading this could quickly and easily optimize a site for Page one place ment if the keyword was a longtail like this: “jewel encrusted leather collars for 15# poodles.” How about this: “Birthday cards for 6-year old Asian-American girls.”
See what I mean? Finding a long tail keyword that no one searches for is easy as falling off a log – and I can tell you from experience that takes no effort at all!
So, don’t buy in to any of those wild promises. Just keep working on your site, adding content, optimizing for keywords you KNOW your prospects are searching for, and building a reputation that will give you plenty of referral traffic.
