UK SEO Spamming and website marketing Scams.

" I can guarantee number one ranking in Google ! " - Yeah Right!

This small feature relating to internet marketing scams and spam is not meant to be a comprehensive directory relating to website promotions and how to manipulate Google.

The only purpose that kind of information would serve is to teach unethical SEO's how to create more website marketing scams.

Avoid SEOs that talk about powerful FFA "free-for-all" links, link farms, or submitting your site to thousands of search engines.Some search engines mingle PPC pay-per-click or PFI pay-for-inclusion results with their normal mainstream search results. Whilst some website promoters and SEO's will ' guarantee ' you a high rank in those search engine results and then position you in the sponsored or advertiser section instead of in the genuine search results.

When it starts to get dirty is when so-called marketing experts change their bid prices in real time, this gives the illusion that they have some sort of control over other search engines. It is a scam and will not work in Google.

Ethical and Unethical Search Engine Optimizers

Whitehats & Blackhats

I've compared the internet industry with the Wild West many times, like all Westerns, there are the good guys in white and the baddlies in black.

Pretty soon the phrases whitehat and blackhat will become an industry standard description for the goodies and the baddies in SEO terms.

I like to think I am a whitehat, I endeavour to comply with the rules and regulations of search engines and conduct my website and internet marketing campaigns as an ethical SEO.

It is a choice we all make. I think many SEO (search engine optimisers) start with good intentions and proud to wear their whitehats, frustration at seeing unethical seo practices gain high ranks whilst the good intended whitehat flounders can force the seo to change hats and begin to work in the dirty tricks department ... wearing a black hat. Yesterday we called them Spammers, today thay are Blackhats !!

" Free For All Links "

FFA' or Free For All Links are also know as link farms. SEO' s that include "free-for-all" links, link popularity schemes, or submitting your site to thousands of search engines in their internet marketing and promotions, or website marketing SEO techniques will cause you problems. They are useless exercises that won't affect your ranking results.

Here's a simple piece of internet marketing logic. You spent time, money and energy on your website - why would you want to place a link for your visitors to leave it and spend their money elsewhere?

Watch out for the few unethical UK SEOs who misrepresent and provide aggressive marketing tactics and unetihically attempt to manipulate search engine results. You may have received emails from SEO firms that start like this; "Dear website.co.uk,
I visited your website and noticed that you are not listed in most of the major search engines and directories..." or;" I can guarantee number one ranking in Google ! " The truth is; no one can guarantee a No.1 ranking on Google. No UK SEO can have a "special relationship" with Google, no internet marketing experts UK or otherwise have a "priority submit" to Google, in fact there is no such thing as a priority submit for Google.

So you need to me more cautious of website marketing and promotion experts who offer too good to be true guarantees, than those who don't guarantee!
