Nowadays the Internet is full of web promotion offers, it almost looks like an epidemic at the current rate. Many people will read SEO books and suddenly assume they are an expert in the subject.

This can actually cause more damage that good, many of these books do not cover all the aspects and many people who do assume that they know it all after reading a book or two. With this claimed knowledge they will often try and make money from it by claiming they are an expert. When people seek advice in the SEO area they will often find these sorts of people and as a result receive bad advice. You website may be banned from Google if you follow the wrong advice, that is why you should seek expert advice, so here is how you can find a legitimate expert.

1. You could choose a company or SEO specialist working as an individual. There is no difference for SEO success; the usual difference is in price. Since an individual would typically work on one project at a time you are likely to get a much better service.

2. One thing you must take note of is to never go for an offer that you receive in your spam box in your email. These sorts of services are usually bad quality and can often be a scam.

3. Another tip is to never go for a very low priced service. If a service is being offered for a very low price it is common that you get what you pay for, low price for a low quality service. After all, the SEO market has its own laws, which include prices.

4. It is best never to deal with a company or individual that does not have their own website, this in a way shows a lack of experience as well as a lack of professionalism, not to mention a lack of legitimacy.
 
5. Do not ask for previous works to check the quality of service, there I a reason for this:

    1. Many clients do not want to bring his SEO specialist in to light.
    2. Many websites can belong to friends and they will say it is good even though another company did the optimization.
    3. If a website is well optimized and is within the top 10 in Google, but the site is not supported it is likely it will drop down fairly quickly.


6. However, if you do ask an SEO specialist for their own website and their keywords you will be able to then view a full picture of their skills.

7. Never ever use outsourcing. If you are a resident of the USA, it is advisable to get a company form here in the UK. The company must be based in the UK unless your target market is elsewhere.

8. Do not ever believe claims that do not seem possible to be carried out. Review the situation and the offer before making any decisions and make sure you do your research.
