okay so it’s an older post, but it just showed up on the front page so I just read it. Eitherway, I have to agree with Matt Sawyer (above). Refferals are the best stream of substantial leads for us too. There is somehting to be said for “does an SEO company do for themselves what they say they can do for you?”. But if you can show that you rank for your selected keywords, then you have proven that.

In other words, just because and SEO company does not rank for “SEO Company” does not mean they are any less of an SEO company.

I love conversaitons like this though because they give me pause about what terms I am searchable for…LOL! Time to get to work!

I can also agree to the SEO Expert above. They need to start believe in it.

it´s a good point to think.
But the main thing is to have good content, write for people and the results will come!
Great post.

That´s why we have always predicted to concept websites for human and not robots. But some “SEO Experts” still doesn´t want to believe it!

I guess it shows that Google is ‘human’ afterall. I have found a lot of weird results before and distinctly unhelpful results.

I think Google still has a way to come but they will constantly be evolving over the years so they can only get better.

Plus if the SEO companies are not doing what they need to get to the top of Google then it is hardly the fault of Google ;)

I find it funny that Google is being blamed by Fishkin when the job of SEO is..well you know the answer to that. cheap trick.

I’ve seen similar result pages in many areas on google.com. I also saw parked domains ranking above good sites just because the domain name was an exact match of the query.

I think the fact that that company is #1 discounts the SEO advice that many have been giving over the past few years. Apparently link swaps do work in the eyes of Google.

"The key phrase SEO company is not the exception. Take a look at the more generic terms SEO and search engine optimization and you’ll quickly realize that they are even less relevant." pretty much upsetting.
