Inside SEO with Mr SEO

I saw this and I just had to look. Some guy is offering to optimize your web site for the bargain price of $89.99

Ebay post

WOW, what a deal. What do I get for that incredibly low price?

Hmmm….

I looked at the sites he has listed as his portfolio.

This new site he is working on: http://www.heartcare101.com/ seems nice, but I wonder why he has Google ads inside the head tag? Maybe that’s a new SEO method? What about the tags?

meta name=”title” content=”HeartCare101.com Heart-Attack Strokes Hypertension, Heart Recovery Kit”> Not how I would do it

meta name=”description” content=”HeartCare101.com Heart-Attack Strokes Hypertension, Heart Recovery Kit, Major Risk Factors and Lower Cholesterol”> Isn’t this suppose to be a description?

“robots” content=”all,index,follow”> useless

meta name=”revisit-after” content=”14 days”> useless

Maybe he hasn’t started work on this one yet. Let’s try another

Well all I can say is 98% off all the content on this site is hidden. Let’s skip this one. Too easy to criticize.

This one has nothing done to it at all http://www.tirez.net/

I suppose one can’t complain with feedback like this.

“thanks i think its working…..”

“Excellent work and Google is crawling my site.”

You can tell by the sample report in his ebay listing that he is using an online tool that spiders a site to make sure the tags don’t exceed the recommended length and that they keywords are relevant to the content. People actually pay for this?! No wonder SEO gets a bad rap. I’m making light of this ebay listing as it’s amusing (in a way) to an SEO, but at the same time…it’s frustrating. When this guy’s customers find out it’s a sham, they’ll inevitably blame all SEO’s and call us con artists.

I do take heart in knowing that just about anyone looking to ebay for SEO is someone who will most likely never hire a professional. Do what I did. Take a look and have a laugh.
