Hiring an SEO professional can give you the desired visibility and ranking of your Website on search engine result pages. But sometimes your site may be at risk due to the unethical action of that SEO professional you have chosen. You will be responsible for what they have done as they can do a lot of harm to your site. Your site presence on search engine result pages may have a negative impact or even can be removed entirely from the search engine index. To avoid this type of unwanted consequence, do some proper ground work before taking the final decision of hiring an SEO professional.

Knowing in advance will cost you nothing but will save you from ultimate devastation. Therefore, it is wise to do research on the SEO professional that you are going to hire. Gathering knowledge about their experience by evaluating their examples of previous work will give you an idea about their ability. If the particular SEO professional has developed lots of international sites, that can assure you about their expertise. Make them reveal to you the techniques they want to follow for optimising your site.

Be aware of unethical SEO professionals. How can you determine whether an SEO is making deceptive act or it is the right one to optimise your site? There are some certain facts by which you can know that the particular SEO professional is doing aggressive marketing which are not accepted business ethics.

The most common abuse often done by an SEO professional is creating shadow domains that deceptively redirect the users to a site. These shadow domains are owned by the SEO professional, and claims that they are working on behalf of you. If the relationship with SEO professional is going to decline, they may redirect the domain to a different site even to a competitor’s site. In that case you are actually paying to develop a competing site entirely owned by the SEO professional.

Another thing you can do is to request the URLs of the individual's personal sites or blogs. Compare the techniques employed there to Quality Guidelines set forth by the search engines.

If they are using funny business to earn income, they have ethics issues and should be avoided.

The best way to avoid shadey SEOs is to hire them based on referrals... either referrals from reputable companies that you are familiar with... or best of all... referrals from people you know and trust.

Anyone who hires an SEO based on their word and does NOT check referrals at their portfolio of sites they have worked on are just begging to get ripped off.
