Top SEOs listings and SEO Moz

[onlinemediadirect]

We recently gained a listing on Top seos after being called by their sales agents for a few months . Since being listed we have received a regular flow of companies making inquiries for new business.

Which is brilliant ! thats what we want and need.

I then started thinking is there more sites that offer rankings for SEO companies. Plus does SEO Moz have any plans for the future for a independent report and rankings for companies.

Thanks

Garry,

You might want to check out what others have written about Top SEOs. There's a thread from this summer in Q&A at http://www.seomoz.org/q/is-topseos-legit, as well as other discussion online. Top SEOs generally does not receive a real positive response by other users on the Q&A forum because it seems their selection criteria for the companies they endorse is not always very rigorous, outside of the evaluation of the pocket book of the company. It doesn't mean all of the companies are bad, and I'm not making a statement about your company; I just want to warn you of the impression others have of them.

I don't know what other sites offer rankings of other companies, as it's not something that I've paid attention to.

I strongly agree with Keri on this topic.

If you haven't read Alan's article on the company, take a look: http://searchmarketingwisdom.com/2010/06/topseos-continues-deceptive-practices/

If you have never heard of Alan Bleiweiss before and this is the first article of his you read, then you probably will have a very different opinion of him. He is an extremely knowledgeable, experienced and caring SEO. I have never seen him "go off" except when discussing the topic of TOP SEOs, which is enough to set any good SEO off.

Our industry is a cess pool. We are all part of the industry and none of us are above it.  If we each do our part we can work to establish credibility for the industry and help web masters sort through the various scam companies and legitimate SEOs.

If you feel joining them has given you a steady flow of new business then I can't argue with that. Otherwise I would suggest you probably don't want to be associated with such an unethical organization.
