Bastions of SEO Integrity... Currently Hiding Under a Rock Somewhere
Yikes. (Is no one embarrassed by this?)
I like the claim that "The WebSeed.com website has a higher Google link popularity score than all other SEO companies combined." Compare and contrast with the present reality: the WebSeed.com site is gone, and all WebSeed member sites combined have an average PageRank of "site is not ranked by Google."
To all the reputable SEM firms out there: even today, in 2003, you're still competing for attention against scammers (like Webseed) who continue to create link farms and call them "quality content networks," and who might be out to steal your natural traffic.
These are people who call spam a "butterfly" and a link farm a "wonderful day in the country," and hope naive clients won't notice the difference. Arrgh. There should be a very simple rule. Never hire any firm that cold-calls you or spams you, even if they claim their uncle works at Google and they "did some work for P & G last month."
I've got a specific company in mind, since a former client wanted to hire them... and I should really mention their name... but ... aaaahh, it's not worth it. But rest assured, those kinds of rats are still out there and still doing a riproaring business.
