SEO World Class…. What SEO Snake Oil Salesmen Look Like

Posted on August 30, 2013 Written by Bill Hartzer

I just love when I get these types of emails. I’m amazed by the number of “snake oil” Search Engine Optimization salesmen send out unsolicited email spam, really believing that someone will take their “bait”. What type of SEO services do you expect to receive if you pay this company just $99?
