You must always be wary of emails you get, especially when they contain the words SEO and Free somewhere in the title, the following text was received by a online marketing company that wants to use our client’s websites to put a page of links on them to benefit their ‘blue chip’ clients (try not to laugh here)
In reality they claim to have blue chip clients but only link to local company and they are offering to fill your website with spammy links to low-rate websites in return for some free SEO ! mmm think I will pass on this great offer. Just for fun here is the email text
Hi Webmaster , I am contacting web design companies to introduce our unique FREE service which I thought may interest you it is aimed at clients with NO budget for SEO it work the partnership work particularly well with Local and Regional companies wishing to increase traffic to their site ..see examples below. To expand our resources we are taking on FREE Partner web sites. We have put together a package for web designers so you can offer a 100% free SEO service to your clients who don’t have a budget to market their web site. We have been doing this successfully in the UK, India, Africa , Australia, Singapore and South Africa.
What do you gain
Every web site in our partner service receives the following work over 12 months:
• Onsite Guidelines
• 100 Search Engine Submissions
• 400 Standard Directory Submissions
• 40 Themed Links
• 40 Social Bookmarks
10 Local Directory Submissions
Each site taking part in the partnership will receive an ongoing SEO campaign for the duration of time you can host our clients links. As a general estimate each site will tend to see movement between 6-8 weeks or as soon as Google fully indexes all the work we complete the previous month. Obviously the time taken to see results depends on how competitive the key terms are. It may be quicker, it may be longer
Once a web designer becomes a partner we will set up an online campaign centre ( same as our blue chip clients get ) here you can view each of your web site campaigns to see what work has been done for the site and download our various guidelines and reports for the sites.
Your personal website doesn’t have to be part of the free SEO program so no links need to be placed on your site. As you are a referrer we provide you with a separate package which is tailored depending on how many sites you give us. The more sites you can refer to us, the better the SEO package we can provide for you. For example, with 10 sites you would have enough bonus work for around 1 years’ worth of SEO services focusing on a few primary keywords and several variations. With 20 sites we could provide a more aggressive campaign focusing on a variety of keywords and variations and also targeting inner pages.
We can start the work as soon as possible and you will start to see movement as soon as Google indexes the work we build.
I have included some more examples of our web design partners here for you [links removed]
As you can see the results speak for themselves but you may ask ‘Why Do We Do This For Free?’
We do this to expand our resources (links). We gain our benefit from having a discreet folder on the partner web sites where we create unique content and are able to link out to our blue chip clients ( HSBC, Thai Airways, Tesco etc.. ) To see an example of what this look like go to here [ link removed ]
As you can see this does not change the web site in anyway.
If you would like to discuss further or join up please let me know and we can arrange a presentation online.
