Web Certain

One of my main beliefs in SEO is that you should always get the basics right first and then move on to the more advanced SEO techniques.

It's really not that hard to make sure you don't have any broken links on your website, that all your pages load and that you remove any test files you may have uploaded.

If an SEO company cannot get their own website in order how are they going to manage yours?


I was taking a look at the Web Certain website and found a link in their site map to a file called test5.html, but when I clicked on the link I was given an error page. The funny thing was that the error page contained their site map which includes the link to test5.html!


Deciding to look a little more into this, I found a total of 10 pages that are all linked to but either don't exist or serve an error page:

http://www.webcertain.com/search-engine-marketing-home.html
http://www.webcertain.com/test5.html

This is a joke, an SEO company who claim to offer a "greater range of service from one team anywhere in the world" they can't even keep their own website in check!
