hey guys, I need your thoughts on this. I just got this email from some company. Among other things, they claim:
"We will submit your site to 20,000 search engines"
"You will be listed on google, excite and yahoo within 3 days, or your money back"

I had no idea there were that many search engines
:eek:

Is their claim even remotely possible?

Gee, it sounds like it's "too good to be true" :)

How much are they trying to scam you for?

Get on Yahoo within 3 days? LoL :D

I don't see how that is possible unless you're giving Yahoo a good amount of money. Sounds like that email you got is just spam.

I can't speak for their other claims, but the 200,000 search engines thing is fairly accurate. There will be a large, large number are FFA sites included, as well as other hubs of slimeball activity best avoided - stick to the majors and you'll do fine.
