		<description>Wil,

I couldn&#039;t agree more with your article, which is why we&#039;re in the process of starting up a site where reviews are in the control of the clients.  After all, they say one of the best ways to judge an SEO firm is by the results, so our site is going to let the results speak for themselves.  We&#039;re currently in development, but I came across your post and wanted to invite you to provide your own input into our service.  TopSEOs is all advertising driven, bigger companies with more $$ will always see top results there, this is not my idea of an open system, where users decide who is best.

		<description>Jon, thanks for the kind words.  I wonder who else has removed themselves from topseos and what their impact has been?</description>

		<description>God bless you Wil - you are quickly becoming one of my favorite bloggers / speakers in the industry.  I couldn&#039;t agree more with both your comments about TopSEO and also your comments on that video clip responding to Jason C.  Re: TopSEOs... at one point my firm had great exposure on that site - a few years ago - when we worried more about marketing our business and getting new clients.  Today, we&#039;re a better SEO firm and we&#039;re busier than hell so we don&#039;t really market ourselves much at all, and thus get no exposure on sites such as these.  They also tend to naturally favor larger firms with higher profiles - whether or not that correlates to expertise and ability - and neglect smaller, local firms like ours.  That&#039;s okay, let&#039;s just keep rocking out great work for clients and let others fight over these lists.</description>
