First of all, you don’t believe those diet pill ads that claim you will lose five pounds a day by doing absolutely nothing, do you? Likewise, don’t believe any firm that promises a number one ranking on Google. Nobody can guarantee that. Google, like most other search engines, does not maintain any kind of special relationships with any firms, so your site will always be competing with the rest of them no matter what anyone tells you.
Second of all, don’t go into business with any firm that won’t fill you in on their strategy. The more secretive a firm is about their actions, the more it is likely using underhanded techniques to help you rank. Link farming and doorway pages are just two examples of things that might help initially, but will no doubt harm you in the long run. After all, it’s only a matter of time before the search engine bots realize what you’re doing and ban you completely from their system. Your site may never recover from that.
In selecting and SEO company, be sure to do you research first. Don’t just call one or two firms; call lots. Like any other major decision, you want to be sure you have all the facts, and you’ve shopped around before making your purchase. Choose a few keywords – not related to your own business – and see which websites come up in first ranking. Then try giving them a call to see who handles their optimization business. Obviously, their first page ranking would be good proof about the efficiency of that firm’s business.
You should also be sure not to sign any year long contracts with a firm right off the bat. Agree to one or two smaller services first to see how the company works, and build from there. And, make sure you understand where exactly your money is going. You can’t pay for a higher rank in Google search results, but some other search engines offer pay-for-inclusion results. And, sometimes a firm might promise you a higher ranking by placing your site in a search engine’s advertising section instead of its search results. That make a huge difference in whether or not people click on your site.
A good way to see if the SEO company you’re considering doing business with is legitimate or not is to do a search for it on Google. If it itself is not even listed there then you know you’re barking up the wrong tree. Either they don’t know what they’re doing or they’ve been banned from the system, but either way, they’re not the ones you want.

Bernard ReberBack in late 1992, MS Access hit the streets. About that time the company I managed needed new software to handle their growing client base and I decided to try this new product. I had little difficulty writing and adapting a database to suit us and discovered a hidden talent for programming. A business was born. With business studies and 25 years of management experience in three different countries under my belt, I could offer a unique combination of skills and my customers agreed. From these humble beginnings my software 'invoiceit' emerged in 1999 and has since been taken to 49 states (hello Wyoming, won't you join us?), all across Canada and more than 70 other countries. From the very beginning the program included cashbook accounting, the simplest form of keeping financial business records. The Dictionary.com defines 'cashbook' as "A 'book' in which to record money received and paid out". For 'book' substitute 'simple software' and that's what I'm about. Now I have published Simple Accounting, an inexpensive spreadsheet solution which even you can master. For just $14.95 it costs less than a takeout meal!
