NOTE: This is not my site, nor do I promote it. I want everyones opinion on it.

I was surfing the net doing my daily SEO research when I came upon this website that guaranteed 1st placement on 40 major search engines, including Google. Not only that, they said it is FREE! I immediately said SCAM! They said that they don't use any blackhat techniques and you will never get banned. I did some research and can't find anything bad about the company. It can be found at 1on40, just in case you were wondering. It is currently in beta and will continue to be free until they officially launch.

Here is a direct quote:

I visit this forum all the time and I just got around to signing up because I wanted to share this with everyone that has indirectly helped me. I want to know what you guys think about this. They have very bold claims, but heck its free. I just had to submit one of my websites that wasn't ranking well as a test ;) . I'll let you know how it goes.

P.S.- They said they don't use any black hat techniques either and claim you will never get banned. I just don't see how it is possible

Clearly trying to promote your services - nice. I read through the website and my interpretation is that it's PPC, not organic SEO.

Unless they are using a Yahoo! Paid Inclusion reseller, in which it's a flat rate per click.

There is no such thing as a free lunch.

If it looks like spam and it smells like spam ...
