Paying for Rankings? I don't think so

Just thought I would share with everyone here what I got in the mail today. It is something from a website listing service. I have never heard of this before, but apparently they charge 85 bucks a year to submit your website to 20 different Search engines.

Has anyone else ever got anything like this in the mail? Of course I'm not going to do this cause I'm sure this has Black Hat SEO written all over it. I would love to hear you guys opinions on this or if anyone has ever got this in the mail before. I have attached a copy of the statements below

That is probably how they got it, I didn't use private registration when i bought the domain. I think from now on I will though, cause my information is on display for the whole world to see.

Out of curiosity do you use private registration when you register a domain? Did they get your address some other way?

When i first got this i thought it was a bill, but then after i started reading it i knew it had black hat SEO written all over it. Like Kyle said i could charge for this type of service if i wanted too.

I used to get bills for my website urls that were going to expire soon. If you didnt read it well you were paying another domain service instead of the one you originally signed up for! But don't see them much any more. That was a few years ago.

As Kyle stated your content will get indexed on its on. Never ever pay for this type of so called service. Excellent post

Why would you want your content submitted to 20 different search engines. The main ones, Google, Yahoo and Bing (which own 90% of the market) will find your content rather easily, in particular if it is quality and if you do a few simple things to get indexed (socially share, bookmark, and write an article or two).

This is pure scam, preying on the people who are desperate to get rankings but don't know how. Fortunately you have the knowledge set by being a member here at WA to accomplish this and in fact charge for this service (if you wanted to).

I love Fiverr...I even use them for small programming tasks. Once you find someone that is decent turn them into a 1099 contract employee.

I needed some programming done due to time constraints and I hired someone from eLance. Just out of curiosity I had a quote done here in the United States. I won't mention the company but they quoted $18,000 dollars. I got it done on eLance (Ukraine) for $950.00.

Fiverr anyone?

I use Fiverr for certain tasks, has worked great for me :)

People advertise to do jobs for $5 - or you can ask someone to do a task for you - have a look for yourself - http://fiverr.com/ :)

Not from this company, but some others and they charge over 80 bucks a month!
85 for a year? Cheap and won`t work.
