ok, so i received some spam from someone stating he could get our website (http://www.bridgesltd.co.uk) to the No1 spot in google and other search engines in an hour.

IVe been playing about for months and months and find it difficult to move, so im VERY curious as to how he can do this? or indeed if it IS possible, because it sounds like a con to me.

Hes sending me an email with information and requesting the key words we'd like. I dont think we would go through with it, but im interested now!

Any have any thoughts/opinions on this?

Thats gotta be the most ridiculous guarantee I've heard from one of these "companies".

Sounds like complete BS. Don't waste your time.

Ask them if you can pay in two hours. You could tell him that your going to the bank to get their money and when you get back to his office you should be number 1.

LOL - I wonder what they would say?

I bet their logo is 'We are not here today and gone tomorrow - we'll be gone tonight'

thanks to another member on here, i would also assume he means google adwords then?

I.e the blue highlighted bar at the top and the side bar on the right??

more than likely. google only updates their things 1 time per month.

For sure it's AdWords. He wants to know what keywords you want so he can look up the top bid and estimation of traffic. Pad that enough so he is sure to make a profit and he's happy and you got the reults (somewhat) thay you wanted.

His marketing is surely deceptive as what you are really hiring him to do is manage your AdWords campaign, and even that is sketchy as being #1 in AdWords will rarely yield the highest ROI.

One of the best bits of BS I have ever heard.

You have heard the saying;

"a fool and his money are soon parted"

Well unfortunately somebody somewhere down the line is going to pay this person.

I have seen versions of this scam where large SEO(?) companies have very large sites withmanmy pages targeting a huge number of keywords preranked.

When the sucker (sorry - I mean client) pays his money they do a hidden redirect from their page to the clients page and presto the clients page is ranking for thus and such term.

No prizes for guessing correctly how long they leave the redirect in place.
