Inquiry of Guest Posting
First SEO spam in a while:
Hello,
I came across your site (http://www.diaspoir.net/) and would like to discuss the possibility of having a guest post on your site.
I’m working on behalf of my client who is able to create articles including travel, shopping and entertainment amongst many other things.
I hope this would be something of interest and would very much like to hear back from someone regarding this guest post opportunity.
Hope to hear back from you soon.
Kind Regards,

You know, right down on the page here, just about where the email address is, are three little paragraphs of text which say:
- Unsolicited Bulk Email (spam), commercial solicitations, SEO related items, link exchange requests, and abuse are not welcome here and will result in complaints to your ISP.
- email the webmaster
- Any email to the above address may be made public at the sole discretion of the recipient.
I don't think I'd pay for services from a company which apparently can't read the paragraph above and below the contact email address...
I've redacted the responsible company for a few reasons. The main reason is that I don't wish to invite assholes into my life, and SEO spammers whinging about how I am "defaming their personal braaands" by reporting accurately on things they have actually done match that description pretty well.
Also, it's not that obvious from the email, but the company is an SEO consulting company that boasts of using meta-tags and keywords to attract Google attention, which makes them borderline scammers in my book. Real SEO is good content and appropriate semantic markup, not keyword and meta-tag spamming.
