“We did a terrific redesign for a neat cottage industry and were rubbing our hands happily, waiting for their good rankings to show up in Google, as is the case with our clients. But then, nothing happened. We said, “??????. And then we found out that the owner had been approached by an SEO company a week or two after we built his site, and that this company had gone in, ripped our beautiful clean code apart, and plastered all of his pages with unnatural repetitive keywords. Google subsequently turned up their noses when they indexed the redesign, and we have been crying a lot since. Not only this, but these unscrupulous SEO experts got hold of the business owner’s credit card number and keep charging him every month for completely messing up his website.?? The moral lesson from the story? Hire a web designer who builds your website BASED ON SEO PROTOCOLS.

Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide
- There are a few warning signs that you may be dealing with a rogue SEO. It’s far from a comprehensive list, so if you have any doubts, you should trust your instincts. By all means, feel free to walk away if the SEO:
• owns shadow domains
• puts links to their other clients on doorway pages
• offers to sell keywords in the address bar
• doesn’t distinguish between actual search results and ads that appear in search results
• guarantees ranking, but only on obscure, long keyword phrases you would get anyway
• operates with multiple aliases or falsified WHOIS info
• gets traffic from “fake?? search engines, spyware, or scumware
• has had domains removed from Google’s index or is not itself listed in Google
