			<description><![CDATA[I have a few web sites and hardly a day goes by when I don't receive some sort of SEO related spam. As the author of the Little Book of Scams: Swindling for Fun and Profit, fortunately I haven't fallen for any of these con games. Although the psychological tactics they use are "time honored" the web provides ease and anonymity, which is making it so widespread. 8)]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[It is my personal opinion based on my experience that a person must know what to look for in an SEO company before they start....so research what SEO really is! I documented on 2 websites my collective experiences with an seo company and with my seo research...I feel a person could benefit from taking a look (if you want to see what an seo scam looks like)....the sites are: www.seoincscam.com and also www.seoscaminc.com]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Are there really companies who promise a #1 spot in 24 hours? I have not heard of that. I think there should be more post and awareness campaign for something like this.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Yep, I see most of these most months! I wrote about one email a client of mine received a couple of months ago: http://ianlockwood.net/dodgy-seo-company-marketing-tactics/ Scare tactics. Not welcome, they just waste my time explaining to the client what a load of hokum it is!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Totally agree with this post, but you forgot our Indian link building friends. I get ton of emails like that every day. The funny part of it, is that the amount of scam emails I receive is directly proportional to how close you get to the top of Google rankings. Great Post.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Fantastic post Bri-man, I love the one about the page being mathematically out of line with the algorithms... I just hate that people wind up clients with gobldy-gook quasi seo talk and get away with it.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Even though SEO gets a bashing its not the only part of the internet industry that gets slammed, though SEO is continually associated wit hscams, rightly or wrongly. My colleague Craig Edmonds posted this the other day which explains a domain name appraisal scam http://www.cloudmixer.com/domain-appraisal-scams/ currently doing the rounds. While not targetted at SEO directly it still implaies that there is value in the doamin anme for potential SEO purposes, otherwise what value could it have. Take this on top of general spam selling viagra, dodgy hosting companies, phishing scams, credit card fraud and a bunch more and is it any wonder that lots of folks are shit scared of any thing internet. The kicker is that when a legitimate company comes along and says "this costs X" people clam up because inadvertently these scams have some how made them think that the service, process or product should be as cheap as or even free! Makes me mad.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Good points. It's a confusing area, so people will beleive the techno sounding crap instead of trying to learn what they need to know. You're correct that there are a lot of scams out there for SEO. Before I learned what really works, I fell for a few and paid a monthly subscription to watch my rankings sink like a rock!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I'd totally agree with you - the SEO industry is now bursting at the seams with unsavoury types trying to con hard working people... we see it every day with our clients! There are many SEO scams out there to catch the unwary, unfortunately a lot of website owners don't fall into the technically/worldly wise category so they keep falling for it and the only thing that responsible SEO's can do is expose these fraudsters for what they are, so I applaude you for this article. @LisaDMyers recently exposed some so called SEO firm trying to sell Google local business listings... another one for your list perhaps?!]]></description>
