There is big difference in skillset for on-site and off-site SEO. For example I am specialized in on-site SEO but I'd rather outsource off-site SEO. If you fall in rankings you also stop paying.

I've done quite some smaller and larger web projects and SEO is not always part of the (paid) plan, until they find they are nr 231 on the rankings. Active promotion is much more "participating" then it is to have banners, autogenerate keywords etc. If people write about you, that's the best SEO you can get. Getting people to write about you means you should write about them.Ok, that's all too simplistic. But surely no SEO company is going to spend loads of man-hours to write human-created posts on other sites. So: yes, it is probably better, and no, I think paying for SEO is a waste of money anyway, even when promises are included.The worst that can happen is that they manage to high-rank you, and you pay them. Then you fall back because of the ever-changing algorithm, or worse: Google stops ranking you because "violation" of ranking rules. Happened to me once and it takes a long time to crawl back. That's very costly. Isn't SEO something that's more an active sport then it is something you should ask another company to do?

The problem with this, and basically with any service related to "pay to get highly listed" is that people with more money can buy themselves up to the ranking. This feels a lot like Google's service where they have "sponsored links", with the difference, that sponsored links are more or less recognizable.The better side is the "don't pay if you don't get listed", which feels like 50-50: they will do their best to list you (one 50), but unless you have good content (other 50), the page ranking algorithms will kick you out in a while. To really make revenue, this company should have a secret deal with Google of some sort. As a consumer, already faced with less diversity since Google came about, services like these will decrease the diversity even more and allow big-bucks to "rule" once more.No, I'm not a pessimist and only time will tell how good or bad this will turn out to be :) I'm afraid I don't really share your enthusiasm.

Suppose the rankings are reached, and the clients refuses to pay. What will the company do then? Yeah, its a good concept but one thing always makes me wild.
