Prove it-Submission Services

Anyone had experience with web submission services that
"guarantee" to keep a web site at the top of the
"top-ranked" search engines? They typically will:

1) Register a domain that will contain keywords of the
web site. So, if you sell boating insurance, the domain
would be insurancemarineboat.com.

*Problem: At *one time* search engines ranked search
results based on domain names. However, search engines
are now down playing rankings based on domain names due
to abuse.

2) Use Meta Tags and other "keyword planting" within
the web site to ensure the site stays at the top of the
list.

*Problem: How can any service "guarantee" placement at
the top for a few hundred dollars? I have spoken with
Account Reps from Yahoo!, Excite, AOL's NetFind, Lycos,
MSN Search and Snap.com. Each of them allows keyword
buying (that starts at around $1000) which allows the
customer to be ranked at the top. So, if their client
is buying their way to the top of the rankings, how can
some third party service override this?

While it is true that META tags, keywords and domain
names can *help* in ranking placement. It seems that's
a far cry from a "guarantee" that it will rank you at
the top.

If anyone has had a positive experience with such
services, prove to me it works by giving me the web
site used and I'll do a search on the top ranked sites.
