Got this email today from a customer...'
"I'm going to reduce my budget next month by $250 because I signed up with an SEO plan with my website company. They told me you will need to update the links for any marketing, as soon as they are done creating them, I will let you know."
Huh... this lady uses Wordpress for her sites, but a $250 SEO package? This seems like a scam. I asked her what she was buying and take a guess...
"They create SEO links on my site for my URLs so when people are searching on Google, my site will crawl up the listings because of these URL renames. They told me thats why I have not been getting any traffic to the site and this should help."
This is a MONTHLY subscription she bought and her company controls her website. They charged her $250 a month (plus a $499 setup fee) to check a box in Wordpress to make her links change from ID number to the title.
Unreal! I told her not to buy this and to have them to change the URL formats, even with sending a screen shot. They responded with
"he does not understand what he is referring to and that will actually cause damage to your website. These are manually renamed URLs made specifically for search engine traffic."
I think im going to start a wordpress design company
