SEO is Fake According to Google

During my daily blog reading, I noticed Andy Beal posted on the topic of Google not recognizing SEOs. Andy reluctantly went to the AD:TECH conference where someone asked "Patrick Keane [Google Rep] about whether SEO companies can really help a company to get better positioning on Google and the search engines."

"Patrick basically replied that there is no way to improve your rankings on Google and that any claims by a SEO company were false."

BAMB! OUCH! Just like the Batman cartoon had when they socked it to the evil predators. Is the SEO industry evil? Are they looked at as the villain? I guess so.

But as Andy rightfully pointed out, isn't Google sponsoring the upcoming SES Conference? Go figure???
