The prices are quite reasonable but I never heard about them, those guarantee prominent 1st Page Listing should also guarantee sustain results, I am not sure any one can guarantee about the results because Search Engine Optimization is long term on-going process and the algorithms used by search engines are never be the same.

In the words of Judge Judy - Balony!! lol

However, I'd like to see them try! Is there a full refund should they not achieve their aims?

1st page listing... ...but for what phrases. It's no good the '1st page listing' being for "Foot monitor head" when your web site hosting is about train spotting. I get faxes along these lines fairly regularly at work, and they go straight into the recyling bin.

that's what one should do with such offers. If I could bring my website hosting on first spot in google within a month for a specific keyword, then I would launch dozens of website hostings and get all those on 1st spot in google and start making money out of all those website hostings

Don't expect money back guarantee from such companies because its not easy to gain top spot in google for competitive keywords.

Considering the guarantees they offer, it would be interesting to read their terms and conditions

They generally claim to get high top spot on Google but don't show you their own rankings?

Very true. Out of interest can anybody see them anywhere in the first 20 pages?

Yes, but that wouldn't bode very well for their sales pitch .

Also i wonder what keywords they are appearing under. "Unkept promises" or "pie in the sky"? lol.

It sounds like they are trying to sell adwords account creation / optimization rather than Search Engine Optimization. There is no way (and everyone knows it) you can get your site top of organics in 48 hours, it impossible.
