I've been lurking for a long time, and it looks like I finally have a question.

[snip], an SEO, is offering their services to me. They use mouseover pages that they call "advertising pages" as well as links to my site. The advertising pages will supposedly contain spider food that would never be seen by my customers. As soon as you move your mouse over the page, the page you would expect to land on loads. Sounds fishy to me. Would this be considered SPAM?

Can anyone tell me more about them or their tactics?

It sounds fishy to me, too. I personally choose to stay from such fishy tactics that can eventually get you banned.

Trucker, Welcome to WebmasterWorld!

I would avoid that service altogether.

Even if the search engines could be fooled, all it would take is a competitive webmaster filling out a complaint form to get a site banned.

Sorry about posting the domain.

Thanks everyone for confirming that my gut instincts were right.
