SEO Guru Issues Warning to Bangkok Business
Bangkok, Thailand January 10th 2008
SEO Guru issues warning to Bangkok businesses to beware of firms offering quick and easy gains to websites search results ranking.
Today Asia’s self proclaimed SEO Guru issued a warning to businesses operating in Bangkok Thailand. The Guru urged companies to beware of SEO firms offering quick and easy gains to their websites search position on the Google search engine.
SEO has become a booming industry in recent years as companies realise the importance of their websites position on the Google search engine. The rapid growth of the industry has seen SEO firms springing up world wide. Despite the growing dollar value of the SEO industry, it remains unregulated by any standards body.
The Guru Said “I’ve seen numerous Bangkok companies choose the wrong SEO path and it can end up being detrimental to their business. ”
There have been a number of high profile cases where companies have been penalised by Google for employing inappropriate SEO techniques, including the German automotive giant BMW who had one of their sites completely removed from the Google index.
When asked about the potential consequences of choosing the wrong SEO firm the Guru said “I’ve seen multi million dollar e-commerce businesses have their sites completely wiped from the search results. That’s a worst case scenario. I’ve also seen a lot of businesses in Bangkok have their websites code degraded and the appearance of their website destroyed by SEOs that really didn’t know what they were doing.”
The Google Corporation have numerous outlets to inform business owners and web developers about search engine best practices. Despite Google’s policy of informing the web development and business community about SEO best practices, many SEO firms flaunt these guidelines.
The SEO Guru offered some advice for organisations who are looking to contract a SEO firm in Bangkok.
1. Read Google’s recommendations on contracting a SEO
2. Don’t contract a SEO who only claims to do SEO, contract a SEO firm with a background in web development and other marketing disciplines.
3.Cast your net wide. Beware of firms promising fast gains for a hand full of specific search terms.
4. Always ask your SEO to explain what they are doing and why.
