Wow, this is pretty crazy. It turns out that Cade Lee is a convicted scammer – no wonder he’s a spammer.

The Division of Real Estate asserts that Lee, a former stockbroker who was convicted of securities fraud, has been acting as an unregistered mortgage broker in the State of Colorado. Lee, who is on a probationary work release program, was found guilty of securities fraud for cheating a group of elderly investors out of four million dollars in a day trading scam. He was ordered to pay restitution. The new mortgage broker laws prohibit felons convicted of crimes involving fraud, misrepresentation or deceit from becoming licensed as mortgage brokers.

Thought I would throw my two cents in.You should probably look up the definition of “black hat SEO” and then make certain to look up “sissy”. I don’t think you get either of these terms very well. First off, if these guys were indeed Black Hat SEO experts, they would not be beating you in the rankings more than six months later. Secondly, if these guys were getting away with some type of something, why wouldn’t you shut your mouth and learn from what they are doing? You are honestly trying to build traffic by ripping on the creativity or gumption that your competitor has and you don’t. Attracting negative attention to SEO only hurts your business and the reputation of all of your comrades. I don’t see you doing anything differently than these guys except you don’t quite have the aggressive nature that these guys do. So at the end of the day, if I were to hire a SEO Professional, it would not be you. You are way too conservative and like to play it “close to the vest”. That is great in Cribbage, just not in business.

Good luck with your passive aggressive nature.

Good post Zack,

I see nothing wrong with pointing out shady SEO tactics. I myself have tried about everything under the sun and have to agree its only fair to play by the rules.

It looks like there are a lot of SEO firms not just in Denver who all play by the black/gray hat rules… I would be willing to bet most do.

Have a good one,
Shakes

[...] Alright – not sure where to start with this one but seriously… fellow SEOs – please don’t preach about black-hat SEO when your doing EVERYTHING you say NOT TO DO – you haven’t exposed anything except for additional attention to yourself. [...]

I came across this blog around the beginning of the month. Since I am new to SEO and I am just looking to opitimize my website I did not know much. I certainly appreciate you warning us about companies like this, I was about to call this company to help me with my SEO campaign. So thanks for your advice, I will be avoiding them.

Thanks
