Possible SEO services scam from Omega Services - be careful

[SoftDux 10]

Just a heads-up if you see the following AD, or get it on email:

 

 

 

Dear xxxxx ,

 

Your website could be on the first page of Google search results,

since that's where everyone finds what they're looking for.

 

Over 2 billion searches are conducted daily on Google.

 

89% of internet searchers go no further than the first page of search results shown for any given search.

Less than 5% of searchers go to page 2 or beyond, which means you're losing money if you're not on Page 1.

 

If your company has a website, we'll get it on Google's 1st page within 48 hours - guaranteed.

 

If you don't have a website, we'll design one and it will be on Google's 1st page within 48 hours - guaranteed.

(Once website design is completed, of course.)

 

NO contracts!

 

Starting at R 1 500 per month - cheaper than running a monthly front page newspaper ad!

 

We handle all aspects of running your campaign and provide an analytical report at the end of each

month detailing what is working for you and what is not.

 

Contact Peter for a free analysis and obligation-free quote.

Why?

 

 

1. They, themselves can't be found on Google (I searched upto page 7, was a bit lenient) by either searching for "Omega Services", "Omega SEO Services", " on Google's 1st page within 48 hours - guaranteed" and other SEO, Hosting, web design, etc related key words.

 

2. They don't have a corporate identity themselves, yet they claim to offer such a service. Their email has no relation to their name.

 

3. No website. How do you design websites, without having your own?

 

4. No portfolio. This is a no-brainer, but if you expect me to pay you R1500pm for a services which I can't even see any previous work of, then you're either incredibly stupid or you hope your clients are.

 

 

 

 

P.S. I'm posing this here cause I often her horror stories from friends and clients who constantly fall into this same trap.

Don't fall for those "SEO experts" they will take your good money, register your site with link-farms and other dubious sites and while you might initially see a huge amount of traffic (which is junk and has no value for you as a business) you will be penalised later on by search engines.

 

It will never cost you R1500 to get your site from zero to hero. If you are a startup and want to compete with some bigger brands in the SEO keyword world you will spend hundreds of thousands of Rands in Google Adwords and SEO campaigns. R1500 will give you some "nice" links from Russian / Indian / Chinese websites ;-)

Thanks for the warning folks!

 

Now, Andries - I do not want MrAerospace finding (another!) beautiful woman! I make the most excellent curry as many in Grahamstown can attest and, if my Crazy Wednesday auctions are anything to go by - people are buying things cheap cheap from me! :wondering:
