Google has an overwhelming responsibility when it comes to quality – and to expect that they’d take a stance on ethics regarding a specific result rather than what has already been deemed illegal is something I think is asking too much from an “ideal world” perspective, especially since ethics is so subjective. Until and unless someone takes TopSEOs to court and wins, I don’t see where Matt’s team could even possibly take such action.

Maybe it’s time for someone to regulate what shows up on Google for any keywords with a minimum # of searches performed daily/monthly?

Google and Cutts must be aware of TopSEOS and the scam. I was under the impressions “quality” was their department. Something as big as TopSEOs should be removed from the index just like any “spam site” or sites infringing on copyrights. The quality department should manually review the website and consider removing it from the index as it is not a QUALITY site being served up in the search results — that’s the purpose of Google in the first place, to receive high quality, relevant results.

Alan, reach out to us sometime. We’d love to speak with you and bounce ideas around.

Mick,

I’d be happy to see that unfold. At the same time though, I’m not an attorney and have no clue what’s involved in getting a class action lawsuit going other than assuming there would have to be major evidence of fraud. Sure, we’ve got a handful of people who have already come out saying such things, but to take it into the courts?

I say we stop complaining and starting doing something about it. He claims publically to be an ‘independant authority’ yet the rankings are based purely on who is willing to pay and how much. That is, by legal definition fraud. SO, let’s get a class action lawsuit as its evident we could get hundreds of companies to join. The point is to not make money from a lawsuit, but to get this site shut down.

I know Jeev Trika personally. I met him several years ago. He is nothing but a low-life thief. I guaranteee it. He’ll do black seo technigues on your site like cloaking then bamm… your site’s rank plummets to the depth of no return or is completely banned by Google. But Jeev(the trickster))still wants paid. He need to be banned completly from working on anything to do with the internet. He’s scum.

Hello

I still remember the day when I paid $2100 to Topseos for their lead generation program (which was costing $2100 for three months/90 leads in 2008)

Within a period of two week I realized that leads are fake because We have sincerely answered and sent quote to each SEO RFP. But never received reply from all 90 leads.

I talked to Jeev trika 2-3 times where besides solving the problem with lead program he redirected me to the “term of condition” section on the site which reflects a term which states that they don’t check the quality of leads, whereas their lead program defines a feature that topseos verify each lead and then only dispersed to lead subscribers

At the end of 3 months I have 90 useless leads with no responce and Topseos earned $2100 for selling me that crap.

And thank you to everyone who commented and those who let me know about additional deceptive practices!
