1. They wear a black hat
2. Their main phone number is a mobile (cell) phone… and it keeps changing
3. They charge you per key phrase but you don’t get to choose them
4. They promise back links from Forums, Blogs & charge by the 1000
5. They think Google Panda is company promotional merchandise
6. They have a “secret trick” to beat Google
7. They buy back links from people who start emails with “Hello my friend” or “Dear website owner” or “We are a DELHI-NCR…”
8. Keyword research takes 20 minutes
9. They “specialize” in your industry.
10. You have to link to them with SEO as the anchor text.
