No, it’s definitely possible. Several of our clients have achieved first place results in Google. The point is that there’s no guarantees. SEO is not a black and white process with repeatable results. The search engines are always tweaking their algorithms, and your competition may be constantly tweaking their site as well.

So while no one can or should guarantee first page placement, it’s certainly possible.

Found this article related to SEO. Another reason to beware people who guarantee first page Google results?

Good question. There is some evidence that Google is now ignoring nofollow. However, according to their site they still adhere to it. Keeping in mind that only Google really knows what Google does, I generally go with what they say until there's significant evidence to the contrary. At the least, I don't use it as a core part of my SEO strategy. And what you guys didn't see was Preston's other comments on other blog entries, because I marked them as spam. He submitted several at the same time, and I just published this one because I thought it was somewhat ironic.

Isn’t it true that Google ignores the nofollow attributes these days?

That’s true, Preston. Some “experts” such as yourself also spam blogs with comment in an attempt to increase SEO. However, most blogs, this one included, add the attribute rel=”nofollow” to linkbacks in comments. This actually keeps Google and other search engines from following those links, so they do not help in SEO at all.

Good try, though. Here’s hoping you don’t successfully con anyone else into your SEO services.

Also, I left your link there so readers of this blog can see that unfortunately, you can’t tell how good an SEO firm is based on how their website looks. Your website actually looks great. Of course, when I try to navigate to the SEO section on your website, the link is broken. That would be ironic, except that all the links on your page are broken.
