A few days ago I came across a service that at first site seemed legit. Then I started to read and everything fell apart. I’ll start of by showing you their main offer before I’ll dive a little into the details they are using to sell their crappy service.

There is nothing wrong with helping people get their sites index initially and even though I think that $24.99 would be a bit too high a price it might be because they promise that the site is indexed in 7 days or you’ll get your money back.

But that is where it ends and the crap begins. They try to sell you listing in directories. These directories will 99/100 cases not be worth anything because the good directories costs money (and can’t be covered with the $25 - exception is DMOZ but that is not an easy task).

What the crap is “Industry Leading Service” with “Advance Google listing process”? There is no such thing but unfortunately this sounds important and new people that come online don’t know this.

It is true that Google has 6.5 billion searches (if not more) per month but using it to sell a monthly $25 service is a dirty trick. That parameter is no more useful to a new user than the fact that a day has 24 hours.

All the way through their salesletter they are mentioning a lot of facts that people might already have heard in the television or have read in the paper but none of them has any relevance to the prospect.

It is a disgrace to the industry

I think it is such a bad taste to try to sell a useless service like this to new people coming online. They’ll take their money and provide next to nothing in return. Their customers will eventually leave them with a feeling that “those SEO experts are all scammers”.

If you know SEO I will encourage you to go read their complete salesletter (the link is nofollow, noindex).

What is your opinion on this? Ineedhits isn’t the only company out there selling these worthless services but they just happened to be the ones I came across. There are probably hundreds or thousands of scammers’ sites trying to sell similar services. Is it something that we should just ignore or can there be done something about it?
