That is why you need to do your research and find a reputable seo firm with proven results before signing any contracts. Get referrals. Keywords are imperative to proper SEO but you should check the content to make sure they are not overusing keywords as this will put up red flags and be counterproductive. Google looks for fresh, new, interesting content not over-saturated pages. It is so true, there are a ton of seo companies out there that are unethical and don’t care about the client.

"What guarantees can you provide?". Some will reply with "I guarantee you that ...", others will say "There are no guarantees". The good SEO's will say "No Win, No Fee". If you [as an seo] can't say this to your clients, you shouldn't be in the business. Cheers Col :-) The question that always sorts the men from the boys … “What guarantees can you provide?”.

Some will reply with “I guarantee you that …”, others will say “There are no guarantees”. The good SEO’s will say “No Win, No Fee”. If you [as an seo] can’t say this to your clients, you shouldn’t be in the business.

I think search is becoming so competitive that companies will use loads of under hand tactics to push websites to the top. Like you said, they'll only have short term success.

This is the same for just about any business, so it's not a complete scam by any means, but just be careful what you get yourself into, you can waste a lot of money if you're not careful, and you won't get the results you're after.
