It's all in the fine print! But I guess that's the only way to provide a 'guarantee' on something that's out of their control.

@Arif if you look at Network Solutions Guarantee they say "This service(s) does not guarantee any sales or traffic to your Web site." — so they will get you page 1 listings but it may be on some long tail keywords that are perhaps within reach given the conteract length.

They don't just promise for Google either, "one or more of 12 search engines within 10 months", so this opens the playing field up a little in my book.

Great article, we run into similar situations where it's hard to sell a product with initial investment obligations without being able to promise results or put a hard time line down on paper as to when they will show up on page 1 of google.com, yahoo.com, etc.

What do you think of Network Solutions offering guaranteed listings?
