This is definitely a discussion that people should be having before hiring someone to help them with SEO. 

One of the biggest problems in this industry is the bad reputation from so many "SEO experts" using black hat techniques that will give a customer a big boost in rankings at the beginning, but ultimately hurt them and leave them worse off when they get penalized. That's why the question of "how long until I see results?" question bothers me a bit. If any results are ever promised, the client should run from that company as soon as possible. The only results that are every guaranteed are those that will not hold up long term, and may ultimately hurt the client more than it helps.";s:6:"author";a:3:{s:5:"@type";s:6:"Person";s:4:"name";s:15:"Ronnie Charrier";s:3:"url";s:25:"http://www.Northcutt.com/";}}}}
