Nowadays when the Romanian internet market has started to become aware of the importance of having an internet presence and not only that, but having also an audience, being able to be found on at least 1 of the top3 search engines (google.com, yahoo.com & live.com), being a SEO “expert” is the latest trend in the Romanian job market.

15 year old nerds, 35 year old loosers, programmers and web developers, marketing “experts” - it doesn’t quite matter - as long as it’s “easy” to do, it requires almost no tehnical skills and you get a lot of money out of it. As long as there are 15-20 people who have reached the “seo nirvana” and the WCE and US markets set a pretty high fee on these kind of services, this “industry” will continously grow, together with the www.

Couple of days ago, somebody I know told me that he finally has website - he found a young boy that was an expert in the field and he also included in his services the SEO thingy. Hmm ..interesting - and what kind of services did he sell you ? was my 1st question - well, my friend went: he optimized my website for 2 sets of 3 keywords - and I am pretty pleased with the result - i show up 1st or 2nd on google and my phone started to ring a lot more than before i had a website.How was my friend charged ? Separatley per each set of keywords - about 150 euros per set.

What’s wrong with this story? Nothing apparently but curiosity made me take a look at my friend’s site to see how come that young boy managed to produce a website and index over 400 pages of a static presentation website, with excellent SEO results in such a short time. The answer was of course “not so black but not white at all hat” SEO - the guy just installed a small script that produces a link directory on my friend’s website - over 2500 links towards sites with absolutley no relevance to the topic of the parent website.

• Will my friend benefit from this ? Yes - clients are calling him already
• Will he continue to be featured among the top3 for his keyword sets ? Yes - for sure another 2-3 weeks
• Will he have long term results? Absolutley not.

All in all, it’s your duty as clients to be informed - to know about SEO tehniques and decide which side you want to be on - short term boombastic results, or long-term but sure to bring you customers years to come result? Once the quality level of the services will increase, we will be able to charge serious SEO fees - almost at the same level as the costs of development.

So, SEO experts wannabies, get serious guys !
