Gotta love this

Take a look at this inquiry we recieved today:

<--- Services Request --->
We are a small company that would like to have our site appear in the first page of search engines. Please tell us how much this might cost. Thank You

Just say what the "seos" at Scriptlance.com say... that you will get them to the top 3 in 2 weeks and it will cost 20 bucks per keyword

 

I should put up a checkout page on our site like this:

"Number 1 in Google" BUY NOW!

 

And I thought only RentACoder was full of these ....

 

I had similar inquiries.

On one similar I asked him for which keyword he was thinking to rank good on and in the reply of the e-mail he gave me a list of 20 words - all common dictionary words ...

Or even better one english speaking person who wanted SEO for a very niche forum and I asked about the KW. The reply: "forum"

 

Well, I don't know what you're complaining about. SEO isn't rocket science -- if it weren't for people like this, who would pay you?

 

Yeah, you are right. Some times you tend to forget what you know and what others don't know.

 

Definetly not complaining, just sharing the laughter..... I'm what you call a soft seller..... Some people would have jumped all over that... I haven't even answered them yet......

But in all seriousness, I really do tell people what their up against..... I'm not one of those companies that jumps at the chance to cash their check... Sometimes I even send my leads to my tutorials first so they can read and understand what is involved..... if they are still interested than they can call back, but the choice is theirs.

 

People are your big asset and your big responsibility. Every company either it big or small have a desire to appear in the first page of search engines, I guess most of the people use the word "small" to get some special treatment and expecting some special consideration, its nothing wrong and ridiculous.

 

People make me weep for humanity at times.
