SEO Spam

Being in the SEO business, this article gave me a good Monday morning smile.  SEO’s sharing SEO Email Spam.

Because I own an e-commerce company and manage the internet marketing for many clients, I probably get more than my fair share of SEO solicitation spam.  They always strike me as annoying, deceptive, and normally just wrong. My favorite is one I get for my Buskerdoo ecommerce business. It goes something like, “We’ve noticed that your business is not on page one of Google for the top searches in your industry. We can…” I want to answer but know that will just prompt more spam. My answer would be something like, “Are you kidding me, did you even do a search for my top terms. I’m a full time SEO and I have over 200 top terms for this business on page one of Google. This business gets about $25,000 a year in “free” SEO and doesn’t need any help from someone that spams me using a gmail account or a non-existent domain name, and yes I checked.”

There are no free or cheap rides in the internet marketing business. If someone is telling you that they will have your site ranked on page one of Google in no time and it will only cost $200 a month, run!
