SEO services

[Halfdeck]

We offer you an affordable plan of $99.95 per six month

"month"? I don't recommend buying SEO services from a company that publish pages with fucked up grammar.

And that ridiculously low price says volumes about the quality of their service. $100/hour is stupid cheap and they're charging 99 bucks for six months. I guess this site's shooting to be the Walmart of SEO.

The site is also only TBPR 3 with an Alexa rating of 3 million+. Sure, Alexa rating is inaccurate but a tech site tends to rank higher on Alexa. High TBPR isn't an accurate measure of a site's authority but a low TBPR especially for an SEO consulting site says volumes because they're either lousy marketers that don't know how to drive organic links to their sites or they're lousy link builders. In either case it makes them lousy SEOs.

Plus look at these supplemental doorway pages:

goldsubmission. com/?q=No+Credit+Check+Student+Loans
goldsubmission. com/?q=Offset+Mortgages
goldsubmission. com/?q=Software+Testing+Training+in+India

And crap backlinks

cdnet.com/cd/index.cgi?dir=/Adult/Computers/Internet/Web_Design_and_Development/Promotion/
b.domaindlx.com/workathome/cat.asp?/Adult/Computers/Internet/Web_Design_and_Development/Promotion/

Out 235 indexed, ~220 pages are supplemental, leaving only 15 pages in the main index.

META descriptions should be keyword rich using action words (like AdWords ad text) to drive high CTR:

"GoldSubmission - SEO, Search Engine Optimization, Search Engine Submission and Web Site Promotion Marketing Services. We also provide an Adult Search Engine Submission Package. Improve your search engine rankings and bring new traffic to your web site with GoldSubmission.com"

...clueless.

Internal URL structure:

"http://goldsubmission.com/portfolio/web_design/index.html"

- Even a semi-competent SEO knows better than to point an internal link to /index.html
- Separating keywords using underscores _ is first tier.

- Affiliate links should be nofollowed but aren't (notice all aff links on LOR are nofollowed).
- Placing link exchanges under "Our Sponsors" is a good way to tip Google off to link manipulation schemes.

Do you really want to give money to people who suck at optimizing their own site?

What exactly are they selling?

Page Advisor...For a nominal fee, the page advisor report contains invaluable tips on how to better optimize your website for improved search engine ranking. Just to mention a few, we take a look at the keywords on your page, your keyword prominence, description text, headers, alt image tags, and other key information for determining what needs to be done to modify your site so it will achieve higher rankings.

All the little tweaks that doesn't really matter.

When many search engines index your page, they decide how high to rank it on various keyword searches based mostly on the content of the page and the way it is put together.

No, search engines rank your page based on a combination of relevance and importance.

I wouldn't spend a dime on these guys.
