Our ethical SEO code for 'ALL' clients
All parties are working towards presenting relevant and high quality information in an easy to use format to information seekers, and whereas Hit Your Market Ltd is being contracted to assist clients in obtaining higher rankings for client pages, we (and those linking to this page) are voluntarily adhering to the below SEO Code of Ethics:
We will do no harm to any client
Hit Your Market Ltd will not intentionally do harm to a client. This involves the continued use of any technology or procedure (without appropriate care) that is known to result in having the client site removed from search engine indexes or directories, or rendered inoperative. Questionable adherence to standards must be addressed via the Robots Exclusion Standard.
We won't break search engine rules
Hit Your Market Ltd will not intentionally violate any specifically published and enforced rules of search engines or directories. Should rules and guidelines change (as they often do), Hit Your Market Ltd will promptly take action to comply with the changes as they apply to all clients. Where rules and guidelines are unclear, Hit Your Market Ltd will seek clarification and await approval from the appropriate search engine before continuing to utilise potentially harmful technology or procedures.
Mislead, harm, or offend a customer
Hit Your Market Ltd will not intentionally mislead, harm, or offend a consumer. All individuals utilizing a search engine to visit a site will not be misled by the information presented to or by the search engine, or harmed or offended upon arrival at the client site. This includes techniques like "bait and switch" where the client page does not substantially contain and is not clearly associated with the optimised phrase, or may be reasonably offensive to targeted visitors.
Intentionally violate any laws
Hit Your Market Ltd will not intentionally violate any laws. This involves the deliberate and continued violation of copyright, trademark, service mark, or laws related to spamming as they may exist at the state, federal, or international level.
Falsely represent the content of the client site
Hit Your Market Ltd will not falsely represent the content of the client site. This includes the practice of presenting different versions of web pages to different users except where that information is altered solely to meet browser specifications and needs, sensitivity to regional factors such as language, or product specific needs. In general, ALL requests for a specific URL should be served identical HTML by the web server.
Misrepresent our own abilities
Hit Your Market Ltd my not misrepresent his own abilities, education, training, standards of performance, certifications, trade group affiliations, technical inventory, or experiences to others . This includes quantifiable statements related to project timetables, performance history, company resources (staff, equipment, and proprietary products), and client lists. Guarantees will be restricted to items over which the SEO staff has significant and reasonable control.
Participate in a conflict of interest
Hit Your Market Ltd will not participate in a conflict of interest without prior notice to all parties involved. This includes the practice of choosing to emphasise one client over another in competing keywords because there is more personal gain for the staff. All clients are treated equally and all will receive equal best effort in their search engine optimisation.
Unreasonable client expectations
Hit Your Market Ltd will not set unreasonable client expectations. This includes the practice of accepting more than a reasonable number of clients competing for the same keywords and implying that all will be in the top positions in the search engines. This also includes the implication that results can be obtained in an unreasonable amount of time given the known condition of the search engines, client site, and competition.
Offer dispute resolution procedures
Hit Your Market Ltd will offer his clients both internal and external dispute resolution procedures. This includes the publishing of address and phone numbers on primary web pages, the inclusion of third-party dispute resolution links prominently placed within the staff website, and contracts that include sections discussing dispute resolution.
Protect confidentiality
Hit Your Market Ltd will protect the confidentiality and anonymity of his clients with regards to privileged information and items implying testimonial support for the SEO staff. Hit Your Market Ltd will be bound to protect information that is not generally known as it may harm the client. Hit Your Market Ltd will not include the publishing of testimonials and proprietary logos of client lists, press releases, and other collateral discussing the client without explicit approvals."
