SEO Scammers Everywhere

If we let go the $160, still he has done more harm than good.

Let the $160 go. Consider it a learning opportunity for yourself and the friend of yours to do due diligence before jumping into the first pair of pants that jives up to your car window.
 
Sorry to bother anyone maybe not the right place to ask but what should you ask every "SEO" guy to check his validity? What does he need to do? I'm a SEO newb.

Just like anybody you hire for anything you need to ask him about his process and what he intends to DO for you in return for the money. He should be able to at least state a valid game plan in a general sense, and tell you what his intentions are for your on-site and off-site SEO needs. If he sounds like an idiot or is overly vague then you probably aren't dealing with a very talented individual. Then after he tells you what he wants to do, ask "why" and see if he can come up with a reasonable response.

A friend of mine got scammed by someone who sells monthly seo service. He charged $160 from my friend every month for 3 month to rank a medium competition niche.

What did he do in 3 months?
- Comment spam on 2 websites! Totally unrelated niche.
- Submitted links on high obl spam sites.
- He didn't even looked at the site for on page optimization lol. Just spammed.

so what? that just tells me our "friend" was just to cheap to buy ahrefs or to dumb to ask for samples or dumb AND lazy to ask on BHW.
so, that was his first 160$ he spend wisely.
 
lol there is no such thing as SEO superstars only sales guys with ego problems disguised as "specialist", because in SEO you never need to proof what you say is true as nobody knows.
the google algo is secret so everybody is guessing. you can always blame it on the latest (or last) update. perfect field for cluless attention whores to run around on SEO conventions, hold a speech pointing at some meaningless stats and then feeling special about themselfs in front of the other hipsters running around at these places "networking".

sounds like the dudes on WF selling their WSOs
 
you are full of hatred. no wonder you are penniless. go away.

i've been here since 2008, so it will probably take you a year of digging. LOL

oh come on. please "rank" some branded international superstart speialist keywords dude and STFU
