New Jersey Web Design Firm in New Jersey does New Jersey Search Engine Optimization (SEO) in NJ...

Is this the face of the new SEO? Design site after design site proclaiming they "do SEO" and their own sites are getting spammier and spammier. To be realistic, I wanted to make that title even longer because that is how bad it has gotten (just tack onto the end "...for New Jersey web design clients needing SEO services in New Jersey..." and you get the idea).
Is this the new SEO? Are clients buying this? Some of the links in TW's own "introduce yourself" included, with mis-spellings, poor grammar, and lotsa repeated keywords in their own sales copy. I can't believe clients look at this stuff and say "yeah, my site doesn't look like that. We need more keyword spam! Hire these guys! They do it really well!
Does this push more power to black ops network stuff? "Don't look spammy like those other guys, use our covert doorway generator to beat the competition with natural, effective sales copy!"
IMHO it's not SEO, but if every web designer brands it as SEO it becomes SEO in the mind of the client, no? Maybe this is why there has ben so much "seo is dead" debate? Surely *this* brand of seo won't last. It sure makes it better for the rest of us *later* when the spammy pages get whacked en-mass, no?
Not only the Web Designers
It's not only the web designers, they've been doing that for a while now; the advertising agencies claim they do SEO, as well.
so, exactly where are they doing this, john?

An outsourcing opportunity perhaps?
They get someone interested in SEO and then outsource the work, making a decent margin off the process. Of course, that doesn't excuse the poor quality of SEO that is exhibited on their websites...but only SEO's can truly recognize what poor quality SEO actually is...normal people just evaluate the quality of the message presented.
In the markets I serve, corporate messaging is sacred and there isn't any way I could get any client to sign-off on keyword-stuffed crap. Doing quality SEO while staying true to client messaging is one of the top challenges I face.
outing or just harassing...
I won't point to a specific site.. it never leads to anything positive. But I will say I started with the TW intro thread, following links to owned sites, and through, to see what SEO-minded people are placing on their 'corporate' sites.
The "New Jersey" is a substitution for some other places; I did NOT find these by searching (in fact, I didn't search).
Ever notice that most of the
Ever notice that most of the folks doing this have "SEO" somewhere in their nick? And then among the first questions they ask when they're new to a search board is, "How many keywords in one sentence is too many?"
Or, my favorite is when you see SEONewJersey ask, "What exactly is involvoed when you do SEO?"
Intro Thread?
Where is this TW intro thread? I am correct in presuming TW == Threadwatch?

I lost a client to a marketing agency that announced one day that they did SEO. The client's marketing director is a big fan of this agency, so she just jumped right over to them.
They outsourced a redesign, and the site looks great, but it doesn't rank for anything now, and for good reason -- it's no longer optimized for anything but their company name. And it doesn't even rank for that, because they left up a side site that I'd done for a specific niche of their market. My old site beats them on the company name and a number of other terms.
Watch out for people who have "guru" in their nick, too.
