		<description><![CDATA[I wish I read this all before. I started working with Webimax 2 years ago. I found Webimax at TOPSEOS ranked as the best SEO firm. After doing a little research on my own I couldn&#039;t find any bad reference for webimax so I decided to book their services, $2K per month. They seemed professional andthey used to call me every month for reviewing the situation. They would tell me and explain me properly everything they do, and it didn&#039;t seem black hat at all, but i&#039;m not expert so I can&#039;t tell for sure. In the end after one year, $24K went down the toilet, and the results were worse than before.

In any case, thanks to this article I won&#039;t take TOPSEOS as a reference for anything else anymore.

Thanks a lot.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I recently had a conversation with someone there. The first 2 minutes were &quot;we&#039;ll rank you on our site&quot; based on an &quot;agreed financial model&quot;  I asked him about independent research, and basically it&#039;s verifying references you provide them.  He then told me &quot;the better the financial model we agree&quot; to with them, &quot;the higher we will rank.&quot;  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&#039;re not interested.  He then pouted and said &quot;forget about it&quot; and hung up!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ash,

Please forgive my blog trapping this as spam, thus causing the delay in it appearing on the site.  I just read your article on why you &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.netmagellan.com/why-i-dont-display-my-numerous-topseos-awards-811.html&quot; target=&quot;_new&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;don&#039;t display the TOPSEOs badge&lt;/a&gt; you keep getting - the one they have not done any legitimate assessment to award.  Thanks for letting me know about that.]]></description>
