How Many Guaranteed Top Rankings Are You REALLY Getting?

Last Update: Monday, July 05, 2010.

In this article I show you why most guaranteed top ranking packages offered by search engine optimization companies aren't really what they're made out to be.

There are literally hundreds of search engine optimization companies online. They're all trying to outdo everyone else with special offers and guarantees. My favorite gimmick has to be the guaranteed top rankings offer.

Have you seen search engine optimization companies guarantee top rankings in the following top search engines?

AOL, Google, MSN Bing, and Yahoo! Search

So, what's the catch? Aha! You know there must be one, right?

Well, let me explain.... many of the search engines are powered by other search engines.

Therefore, if the search engine optimization company achieves a top ranking in one search engine, then they would almost certainly achieve a similar ranking in other search engines that are powered by the same search engine.

For example, Google powers Google, AOL and Netscape. And Yahoo! powers AllTheWeb, AltaVista, Go, HotBot, and Yahoo!

So, if a SEO company achieves a top ten ranking in Google, they shouldn't claim that that as three rankings, but one. And if they get a top ten ranking in Yahoo!, that should also count as one, not five top ten rankings.

Here is a table of where each of the popular search engines get their search results from.

Why is all of this important?

Well, before you sign up with a search engine optimization company, work out what the X number of guaranteed top rankings really means.

For example, an SEO company could easily count a top ranking in Google, AOL and Netscape as three top rankings, when really it's only one.

So, don't be fooled into accepting three top rankings, when it's really only one. By the way, no one can guarantee top organic rankings, except the search engines themselves. And they're not going to offer that anytime soon.
