If it sounds to good to be true, then it probably is!
There are many companies including the Yellow Pages, Reach Local and Yodle that are out their selling "first page results". They promise to get your website listed on the first page of the search results for popular keyword terms. The misleading part of that claim is that they are not getting your site to the middle or "organic" part of the first page, they are paying to place your site in the sponsored link areas at the top and right hand side.
So what's wrong with that? Nothing if you understand what you are buying and want to pay a premium for someone else to buy your Pay-Per-Click advertising. For example, let's say you are selling Hot Sauce. You could pay the Reach Local guys to buy PPC for about $1,000 month OR .... You could open up a Google Adwords Account for $5 and set a budget of $10 per day and buy your own words for $300 or less per month.
