Let's hear your best fake SEO testimonials!
Okay, one of the most ridiculous things regularly heard as a practicioner of search engine marketing is, "What does it cost to be listed first in Google?" or "How many days will it take to be ranked first in search engines?"
There's no clear answer to any of these questions...what words do you want to be ranked for? How competitive is your industry? Obviously, if you want to be ranked number one for the term "shoes", and you have a new site with three pages of content where you sell two different models of shoes your chances of outranking Nike, Adidas and every established online clothing retailer is next to none.
However, the lack of education persists, and since my friend Andrea pointed out that our site needs testimonials (we're still working on the best way to do this...we will add them at some point, I promise). She said she would gladly "make some up", which led me to this marvelously entertaining idea.
If we get some really good ones, perhaps we'll make a spoof commercial out of it...but we'll see.
So let's see what you've got!
"Netvantage Marketing got my Facebook page ranked number one on every search engine (even in Japan!) for the terms "Morgan Freeman", "American Idol" and "falafel" in just 43 seconds!"

While I already maintained number one rankings for all 3,000 of my targeted terms across every search engine, Netvantage Marketing actually managed to improve my rankings for those terms. It’s like they know magic.
“Netvantage Marketing, I am forever faithful! You helped me find my own Website. I wasn’t even aware I had one! And you helped lots of other dogs find it too.
Apparently one of my people employees contracted your services and now we’re up to our tails in orders.
Dog World has a two-month backorder on dog galoshes and subliminal power CDs. And the kibble is flying off the shelves. We were chasing our tails for years trying to figure out how move more puppy chow without eating it ourselves.”
