The Lead:

Hi,

I am looking for a company that specializes in achieving Top Website rankings with guarantees. I am looking for a definitive strategy to achieve a PR7 (or better) and a proposal and a quote to achieve this accordingly.

Is this something you do?

I will be happy to provide further details upon your reply. Thank you.

Kind regards

Brendon

Budget: 10k + Month

Our Response:

Takeaways:

FORGET about Google Toolbar PageRank: It is outdated and it isn’t used in the algorithm in any way any more
If you a high-PR website that you get a backlink from, in most cases those are paid links: You are putting yourself in a bad neighborhood of other sites who pay for links
There’s no way any Internet Marketing company can guarantee you top rankings (no legit Internet Marketing company ever will!)
Don’t pursue higher rankings: Pursue building digital assets that will keep attracting links
This budget is very good: Unfortunately you are wasting it because if any company agrees to do what you ask for, you’ll just ruin your site in a bad link neighborhood which most probably will get you penalized
