Hi John, Yeah we saw the no-follow tags on SEO’d landing pages – Not great from the last SEO agencies point of view. We haven’t progressed legally.

Unfortunately there is no surefire way of finding out if an agency is going to live up to their promises – if other customers are handled by different account managers then there can be a complete disparity in what you receive. Credibility only reaches as far as the team handling the campaign, and when the communication is sparse, the reports and indeed links non-existent, it’s then you realise you’ve made a huge error of judgement. If team leaders then stick their head in the sand and refuse to let staff out to discuss the failing campaign with you, then the error of the choice is blatantly obvious.

The true reflection of the agency is what they do to rectify such a situation, and after spending nearly £2k for a total of 4 links over 3 months we’re still waiting on this front.

Hi Nick & James
Very interesting post, judging the amount of spam SEO emails I receive it could be the next big internet scandal.
Underhand tactics, you say “cheeky no-follow meta tags on target landing pages………….” are you saying this was done after you took over the account?
If so what is the legal position?
