TopSEOs Strikes Back!
After the SEO community cried out, and lashed out, at Top SEOs for alleged deceptive practices the TopSEOs brass rushed out to do what they do best the most, they created some press releases. They made claims that they have listened and will clean up their act.
Did they? Not according to Alan Bleiweiss in his Top SEOs Continues Deceptive Practices article.
After reading Alan's in depth article it looks like the only way to stop fake SEO ranking services like TopSEOs and Verified SEO copycats will be to nip them in the bud. Once they bloom into a money making machine there is little anyone or any community can do to stop them. The more we publish and link to complaints the more we can slow them down but if they have SEO traffic to sell then they will have agencies keeping them in business, that's the hard SEO truth. It's still dog-eat-dog and ethics be damned at this level of the game.

I recently had a conversation with someone there. The first 2 minutes were "we'll rank you on our site" based on an "agreed financial model" I asked him about independent research, and basically it's verifying references you provide them. He then told me the better the financial model we agree to with them, the higher we will rank. It is definitely not legitimate and surprised it continues to exist. He was very abrasive when I started poking holes in his practice and told him that based on these 2 minutes, we're not interested. He then pouted and said "forget about it" and hung up!
