No, you can't pay for organic search ranking at Google. Rest assured there IS a trick involved here.

That's pretty cool. Blatantly false, but pretty cool. I'd like to know how they did that (they almost certainly only did it for you). From everything I've seen, you can't make a change, have Google crawl it, then index it, then put it out to the datacenters all in three minutes. So even if they can rank you, I suspect it just physically takes a lot longer than three minutes for the results to appear in your datacenter. Still, it's a pretty neat trick.

Must be some kind of redirect or they know how to manipulate Google's SERPS. I'd run like the wind. Better yet-- report them to Google.

If your PC has not been compromised in some way, my best guess would be that you were already at number 3 for that keyword.

They are selling you pay per click ... your result will show along with paid ads on google, not in the natural results. i get calls from those guys about once per week.

Yes, you can PAY. But that doesn't necessarily mean that you will RECEIVE.

kmick - are you aware that the top three results in many google searches are also sponsored links? They're not just down the right hand side?

If the top three results have a coloured background and a label saying they are sponsored results, then they are not organic. They don't always show up. kmick, did this company give you any cool toolbars to load?

kmick, did this company asked you to search for the keyword from your end directly, or they gave you a link to click on that directly point to the results?

It sounds like pay day - I've had plenty of similar phone calls to a private number and the only way they found it was through our website, viewable from the SERPs. Period.

I tried this out recently. The saleswoman was from a company with the word "Google" in it's name - supposedly an "official reseller". She said it would guarantee a listing somewhere on the page for each search on my targetted keyphrase, including sponsored and organic spots. I paid up as it wasn't much just to try it out and at worst I thought I'd get some PPC. Several phone-calls later with their "IT Dept" I was told that it didn't cover organic listings, only PPC. So basically it's a managed PPC campaign which may suit some, but was mis-sold to me. After 3 weeks faffing around nothing happened so I got a refund which to be fair they processed quickly.

Simsi consider yourself lucky. I feel sorry for those who don't have any knowledge of the business and get robbed of thousands each year for a few extra hits a day. Oh please heh.

Can't do this with Google, but you could do this with Yahoo - I haven't used Yahoo for a while now, but the product name is 'Paid Inclusion'.

This doesn't exist with any major search engine these days. 'Add a site' is similar to 'paid inclusion' lol.

The idea that you could pay for a position on a dynamic engine is silly.

Even the Yahoo Paid Inclusion program only guarantees that your page is in the index. It doesn't guarantee any particular ranking position. I wanted to correct any wrong impression, but let's not take the thread off-topic. This forum is here to discuss Google Search, not Yahoo.

Yahoo's paid inclusion program is part of its search engine business failure. (Why didn't Google come up with this idea? 8->) p/g
