Honesty time: this one almost fooled us for a minute. Other than making website two separate words (a mistake a company specializing in website SEO probably wouldn’t make), it’s more or less legitimate-seeming. But a quick internet search for ICLS.net revealed many complaints. (When in doubt, search for “name-of-thing-about-which-you-are-in-doubt “+ “scam” or “complaints”; this will often tell you what you need to know.) There are many ways to improve your search engine rankings, but providing information or money to this company doesn’t look like one of them. You might want to steer clear.
