OK, so you’ve done your homework and built up a working knowledge of SEO and have decided to use an SEO firm. You’ve identified a couple and had one or two referred to you from your business associates. Now what?

Interesting article and very informative...even if it is by an SEO company..but links to other SEO companies for comparision so they must be confident in their ability as an SEO company....

Good, solid and sensible. Realistic advice for choosing an SEO firm. Liked the questions about who will actually be working on the job as well as the questions you shoudl expect from a good SEO company. Well done!

Looks to me like an example of a clueless SEO company spamming Sphinn for backlinks.Voted/commented up by three Sphinn thin profiles.The footer links link to the home page multiple times using keyword-stuffed anchor text plus keyword-stuffed links to keyword-stuffed doorway pages:[sydney], [australia], [seo - search engine optimization australia], [seo australia], [seo brisbane], [seo melbourne], [seo adelaide], [seo perth]Seo adelaide link leads to http://www.seoworks.com.au/Content_Common/pg-seo-search-engine-optimisation-adelaide-south-australia-sa.seoNotice the keyword-stuffed URL and "SEO" as file extention. The page content is also keyword-stuffed borderline spam.Another SEO company that needs to learn SEO before trying to make money off selling it.

Obvious sock-puppetry

Fake voting/commenting, link leads to a spammy SEO site, post rehashes generic SEO advice, written by an Indian.

Agree with Halfdeck, very little substance and looks like a sales post.
