Many of my clients are from other countries and you would be surprised how well versed they are on the subject. I have found that we Americans tend to be a little gullible. .-= teasastips´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.webmoneysuccess.com/2009/09/following-up-with-prospective.html" rel="nofollow">Following Up With Prospective Affiliates You Would Sponsor</a> =-.

There are a lot of people looking to make a quick buck. I have always believed that providing a good service that shows positive results will have clients telling there friends. David,

I rather be up front with a client and have them walk a way than to give them false promises. There are a lot of people looking to make a quick buck. I have always believed that providing a good service that shows positive results will have clients telling there friends.

They often think that if you can't guarantee rankings that you are not very good at what you do. I am pretty sure I have lost a lot of leads because I usually make that pretty clear from the outset. Although, I guess those people are best to avoid anyway. People with unrealistic expectations of results are often the types of people who have unrealistic expectations of the amount of time you spend on them for their money. One of the new things I have seen on the block of late is people selling listings on Google Maps / Local Business Centre under the guise of "Get a page one advert on Google". I don't really have a problem with some scuzzy forms of SEO, but the client should know what they are getting. One of the people I am working with was previously with another SEO (who outsource link building spam to India). They charged him the equivilant of about $3,250 setup fee for on-site work that was never done and his link building which he was told was white hat consisted of social media spam, a few directory submissions and splogs posts on the company's largely de-index spam farms. .-= David´s last blog ..<a href="http://semlabs.co.uk/journal/writing-for-search-engines-and-people" rel="nofollow">Writing for Search Engines and People</a> =-.
