I totally agree! So many people have such a warped understanding of what SEO is actually all about. I have come across so many companies that lie to their clients, it’s amazing, actually, that they are still in business.

Exactly. I dare say, some of this is the fault of the client and here’s why: Companies looking for a cheap and quick solutions with high yield will be prone to accept such shoddy advice.

The sad part is that this is transparent self-interest because that web host just got the client to buy 20 domain names so adding $180/yr. or so in extra revenue (not counting hosting). In web hosting, SEO, and a range of online services, you have your cowboys and then you have those who will be accountable for their recommendations. Telling someone to register 20 domain names for search engine visibility is about as cheesy as it gets!

You are right Clint. By the way if that guy has already set up and submitted the index pages of those 20 (!!) domain names, he can start off again with a new website as the penalty will probably reach more than 6 months. Creating similar pages that all direct to one page is having different doorways that is considered very spammy..
