do you have ANY idea how hard it is to be top 10 for some of google's most popular searches? Obviously not, if youre claiming it is "easy to acheive".

I think you might be confusing the "paid" advertising or "pay per click", with "natural search results". Two completely different animals --- not even related other than both happen through search engines. For example, in Google the "paid" adverts run down the right side of the results pages and are labled "sponsored links" above them. The 'organic' or 'natural' search results are on the left side.
That firm in the OP is claiming to get you in the top ten without paying google, MSN, Yahoo, etc, advertising money. That's a totally different ballgame from the "paid" placement that youre referring to.

no. that doesnt apply to this company's claims, and what xeon is asking about. Again, I think youre confusing "paid placement" adverts with the "natural (or organic) search engine results" and the SEO design needed for a website to acheive top 10 natural results.
