Message From A ‘Distinguished SEO Outsourcing Company’
Generally, spam’s a real pain in the arse, isn’t it? But when companies take the trouble to fill out my contact form in order to spam me, well, that REALLY winds me up! And when they’re trying to impress me with their poorly-written, fake business spiel… what can I say - that doesn’t exactly help matters! (Note: the word ‘fake’ is important here, as you’ll soon see).
RST Web Solutions, an Indian web services provider that would be glad to consider our company as an extension to serve you for the overflow of your work
(!) have done exactly that - pasted a load of their marketing gobbledegook into my contact form and hit ‘Send’. I’m unhappy, I don’t like it, so rather than emailing them and taking the risk of giving them an email address, I thought I’d point it out to everyone!
Back to the use of the word ‘fake’. One of the statements they make within their ‘message’ is:
“Our company i.e. RST Web Solutions (www.rstwebsolutions.com) is ranked top among the key phrases like: SEO company, expert reciprocal linking services, content writing company, SEM company India and link building offshore company.”
So, being the sort of vindictive soul that I am, I decided to test this out in the ‘Big 3′ search engines (I only checked the first couple of pages of results - you might not consider this exactly ‘exhastive testing’, but it is lunchtime and anyway, how many of us would look below the first two pages of results for SEO services?!) :
- SEO company
- Google.com - not in the first 20. MSN.com - not in the first 20. Yahoo.com - not in the first 20.
- expert reciprocal linking services (now there’s a term you don’t hear every day!)
- Google.com - not in the first 20. MSN.com - not in the first 20. Yahoo.com - not in the first 20.
- content writing company
- Google.com - not in the first 20. MSN.com - not in the first 20. Yahoo.com - not in the first 20.
- SEM company India
- Google.com - not in the first 20. MSN.com - not in the first 20. Yahoo.com - not in the first 20.
- link building offshore company
- Google.com - not in the first 20. MSN.com - not in the first 20. Yahoo.com - not in the first 20.
Guys, it’s not looking good! Even if I take the SEM company India keywords and search your own rstwebsolutions.com domain, only Google returns a result!
So what am I saying here? Well, “please don’t spam me again in this manner” would be the main thing. But, if you are going to spam me again - at least have the sense to check your facts first! After all, I’d love to bask on all the advantages of offshore development
and avail the exemption of overheads, administrative, facilities, and human resource costs
as I know you strive to achieve values through these services
!
Best of luck - and feel free to post a response!
