Now we all know about SEO services, correct? The fact that there are companies out there who will offer to improve your websites position on the search engines and thus get you lots more traffic?
Heck, I do work for some of them. However, there are some companies who have a little less nous than others, as in this spam email I got today from:
Patricia Zhang

How, exactly, does one become a UK government approved supplier of interactive websites? Further:
Hello, my name
is Patricia. Apologies for contacting you unannounced but I
have just visited your website at timworstall.typepad.com and have provided you with a
complimentary service related to this website (see
below).
any list so this is the only email you will receive from
me.
check for your website. I searched on Google for link:http://timworstall.typepad.com and found that you
have 2,220 websites linking to you that are in Google’s
database (try it, this way you can see lists of websites
that link to any other website).
pointing at your website you can achieve much higher rankings
on Google, Yahoo and MSN (because most search engines consider each
link as a "vote" for your website) and thereby increase your profits by
attracting many more customers.
Now, as I say, I know what the services on offer are but wouldn’t you be a little wary of a company offering you services when they cannot even do the most basic research? What customers? What profits? This is a blog for God’s sake!
Can we mark down Searchmedia.com as perhaps not the finest of the SEO companies?
