Search Engine Marketing Ethics

Search Engine Spam
Our website promotion program does not rely on ' Spam' or other trickery to obtain a top search engine position. We work with you to create a search engine friendly site, rich in content and properly optimised before we submit manually to the top search engines and directories. Certain practices such as hidden text (text which is the same colour as the background), invisible links, too quick meta refresh redirects, etc are designed to fool the search engines into bringing web browsers to a site and are considered by many search engines to be 'Spam'.

Protecting Our Clients Interests
Search Maestros does not participate in, nor tolerate such practices as this places our clients at the risk of having their websites removed from the search engines entirely. Search engines have features in place, designed to pinpoint and penalise sites that use methods that are in conflict with their guidelines.
