Today I feature the best websites from Idaho.   Idaho is the home of legal marketing company “Nifty Law”.   From what I have heard Nifty Law is on the higher end of SEO companies, at least in terms of price.  Their website claims that they are very transparent in terms of their SEO methods.  However, they are not very transparent when it comes to who their clients are – only showcasing two clients in their portfolio.   One of those clients has an amazing web presence in Las Vegas – Naqvilaw.com.   So naturally I wanted to see what they were doing to get such great results.   When I looked at the link profile for Naqvilaw I noticed they were getting a link from a website called www.Kaneinjury.com.  When I clicked on this site I found an innocuous ‘personal injury site” with no contact information, attorney profile, or anything that would identify the attorney associated with this site.  However, there was a banner ad pointing to Naqvilaw that contained a direct link.
