With so many people or companies out there offering an seo service, it can be quite difficult for people to know who they can and can not trust. I have around eighty websites and feel that I now know quite a lot about the best ways in which to promote a website. This was not always the case however and in the past I have to admit that I have wasted a lot of money on seo services from people who claimed they were experts. There is now a new trend in seo where the seo companies are offering people their services for free in the first month.

I first heard of this concept of one months seo for free, around a year ago. A friend of mine phoned me and stated that a well known seo company had come up with this new concept. What a brilliant idea I thought to myself. It is an idea which is of huge value to both parties. The seo company obtains a potential new client and has one month to prove how good they are. The client may as well give it a go for a month as it is not costing them a penny, if after the month has finished they have seen some good results, they are then likely to continue.

It is important in my opinion that this first month should mainly be spent on gaining the client some good quality backward links. Changing the site to any great degree would only mean that all the ammendments need to be changed back, if the client decides not to go ahead after the end of the month.

The client themselves may also not want to trust handing over full control of the site in case they then become held to ransam at the end of the period.

There is always a contract that can be drawn out if both parties are willing to sign however.

My advice for anyone thinking of paying someone for seo is to make sure that you get the first month for free.
