Is the Search Engine marketer pounding at your Inbox the “real deal”?

Dear Client
Lately, we’ve noticed a surge of email offers from Web marketing companies that promise to deliver high search engine placement by using specific, targeted phrases. They promise top results when you type in a specific (i.e. rarly used) set of keyword phrases. They actually deliver on their promise and you can prove it to yourself every month before you pay that bill, you type in those 3 or 4 phrases and there you are… right at the top of the page in Google and Yahoo. That company can honestly say they fulfilled their end of the deal. However the results will not increase traffic to your site, it just empties your pockets.
Here’s why. You cannot be sure that your prospective visitor will type in one of those 3 or 4 exact phrases. When you use one of these companies you’re gambling on a very, very long shot. Out of the 9 to 16 words in your 3 to 4 keyword phrases, you are betting that your potential visitor will type in those exact words. Did you know there are approximately 250,000 distinct words in the English vocabulary?
Is this type of service a fraud? We think of it more as a parlor trick, a sleight-of-hand. These services are created for nothing other than taking advantage of people who don’t understand how the search engines work.
The search engines are actually just computer programs that are constantly being updated by programmers so their listing results are always changing. Sometime a little and sometimes a lot. They are updated every month, every week, sometimes every day. How can you stay on top of these changes? We can help you.
We receive and read a 200+ page document about the search engines that’s updated and published every month. We recently renewed our 11th yearly subscription. We have been students of the search engines since 1997 (that means we have read over 24,000 pages since we started). The search names have changed through the years, but their basic function remains the same - to provide the best results to their visitors’ queries.
Based on what we know and what we continue to learn, we have created several relevant search engine services for 2008 that make sense to any business and budget. All of 3W’s search services are aimed at increasing targeted traffic to your website by using current and valid techniques. No tricks or shortcuts.
Please look over the services we have to offer below. Give us a call and we’ll get you started. Let us help you put the power of the search engines to work for your business.
Sincerely,
Barb and Gregg
