US State Sues Web/SEO Firm For Deceiving Mom-and-Pops

netbuzz writes "The state of Washington is suing a search engine optimization and Web services outfit, based in Redmond, that has done business under the names Visible.net, Captures.com, and WebMarketingSource.com. In essence, the state says these entities have deceived mostly mom-and-pop sites through unfulfilled performance promises and financial shenanigans after charging up to $10,000 in up-front charges and more in monthly fees. About 90 complaints have been lodged over four years, the state says."

Seriously. The easy way to do this:

1. Go to Google.
2. Search for 'search engine optimization'.
3. Go to MSN
4. Repeat step 2 ...

The company highest on the list of all search engines checked is probably the company you want.
