Bad SEO

It has been a while since we’ve posted one of these outings of a bad seo, but this thread over at Web Workshop seemed to fit right in with the pathetic link builder selling services they have no understanding of, let alone are skilled enough to deliver..

The poor folks at Closebys.Com hired some scammy link broker who had no clue what they were doing.. This little link broker apparently took the job, then came to an SEO forum to ask for help in doing that job.. Now, seriously, is this someone that you would want to hire?? I think not..

A new SEO posted at Webmaster-Talk asking what we thought about an email he received after replying to a SEO job listing on Craigslist. Here is a png of that email.

Really? You really expect this guy to go out and create a blog, update it in your specific order, then create 3 new bookmarking accounts to bookmark the blog, then a Squidoo page like this one that links to their loans subdomain, a couple of free classified ads, forum account for a link sig, a couple of blog comment (make sure they aren’t using nofollow!) and finally a Yahoo! Business account, all with links pointing back to Optawise.

Really?

What about these subdomains we found linking back to their subdomain. Can you say hmmmmmmmmmmmm?? I thought you could.

Come on, if you are going to try to game the system and build a link farm to funnel PR to your website so that you can funnel it back out to clients, couldn’t you be just a little bit more discreet? Seriously, you’ve crossed the line from Black Hat SEO to just damned pathetic SEO..

I should thank them however, they did encourage me to re-open this site and start posting truly pathetic SEO companies again..

Ripped that steaming pile of code right on out of here and replaced with a boring blog format.. But at least this works.. If you have something you want to post or link to register and let me know.. If it’s decent enough I’ll make you an author and let you post it, with links to your site if you want to stick them in there..

Whatever - rebuilding again sucks..
