Misleading domain name solicitation - an example

We discussed misleading domain name solicitations in a previous posting. We thought we would share an example with you and comment on it.

The offer is shown below and our comments, too.

Annual website search engine submission from mm/yy to mm/yy for $75.00.

For this fee, they will do

Custom keyword research Requires assistance from your web designer because the website will be impacted. Once this has been done, there is no need to do this annually unless you find that the original analysis needs to be re-done.

Optimized title and meta tags The TITLE and other meta tags may not need to be changed at all.

Submission to 900 search engines and directories The BIG 3 (Google, MSN, and Yahoo) are the only search engines you need to work with. Directories will depend upon your business. You will want to select only reputable directories.

safe follow-up re-submissions every 3 months Not needed on a calendar basis.

Helpful professional support Not sure what they will do here.

Be careful.
