Search engine terms....

[StanTheMan]

I have just have a nice cold call from a company "search terms" or something like that. They have promised me that I can have 1st place, on "google, yahoo, lycos and many other search engines" in one of my chosen word for just the amazing price of 595 English pounds.

Firstly - This is rubbish, right?
Secondly - Whats the best way to pour scorn on these twerps?

I guess they are just buying overture keywords.

If they are that good, why do they need to cold call?

First, your probably right, but it could be someone just starting and have a poor sales pitch.

Second, don't waste your time.

There sales was good, that was scary part they even had me going!

Just keep a close eye on them and watch what they are doing. Just research a bit and ask them every piece of SEO stuff they are doing for you. Make sure they are not using any of those SPAM techniques.
