What the chance of this... i was actually looking for them! Yeah, oddly enough eGumBall is actually a company that knows their biz. I was with them for nine months and ranking. I was getting sales calls not a huge amount but calls so I thought my company could do better. This is where problems started.

I recieved a call from another "SEO" company that said they can do what eGumBall does and less than 1/5th the price. Feeling robbed I dropped eGumBall and went with the "other" company only to find out that they couldn`t even get me to page three.

I can tell you eGumBall is a real quite company. They do not call you to give you the whole up-sell thing... "need more money"..

Thanks for the link... I am giving them a shout.

Do you know if they are Eastern Time or Pacific Time?

My experience, as told to me by my clients, is that most [if not nearly all] "internet marketing" and "SEO" services end up being snake oil - no matter how slick the website looks like. They promise the moon and do not deliver.

SEO Companies should always put their service in writing detailing a specific agenda.

I think there is alot to say about unwritten promises by SEO companies whom do not disclose the facts prior to agreement. That is a definant problem in our industry.

A reason that SEO firm cannot gaurantee line placement is because SEO firms do not control algorithms, filters and competing inventory for select keywords. Sometimes clients have to concede certain keywords to others where they can gain rank in others.

No SEO company can gaurantee what the search engines results AND OR GUIDELINE CHANGE for that matter.

Why all the posts with no faces??? Just work with a great webmaster. That`s all you need to do. Someone that has your best interests, and concerns about your success online.. We are contacted too often by those type of companies that promise to get us on the first page of google search for our keywords, but we are already there. Thanks to working with someone that knows what he`s doing. Thanks, Roland of vwebworld.com!

This forum post is making me laugh. I definately think I made the right decision to hold off on this "seo" service.
