"I am not spamming. I have studied your website..."

Blog kitt decided around 14:57 on 15 November 2013 to publish this:

Oh, the spam today just gets better.

Always still annoying.

I have a number of domains that I use for only email. Not every domain needs a website. Websites are there because you have something to, I don't know, share with the world? If you're just using the domain to control spam (hello, customized email addresses per domain and/or transaction so that I can track when a site sells my email address or has a security break (hello, Ameritrade)), there's no need for a website.

So, when I receive emails like this one, I laugh.

Hello,

I thought you might like to know some reasons why you are not getting enough Social Media and Organic search engine traffic for kh47.com.

Um... because there IS no website for kh47.com?

1. Your website kh47.com is not ranking top in Google organic searches for many competitive keyword phrases.

Correct.

2. Your company is not doing well in most of the Social Media Websites.

My brand is, however.

3. Your site is not user friendly on mobile devices.

It is wonderfully user-friendly! It does EXACTLY what it is designed to do, which is NOTHING.

There are many additional improvements that could be made to your website, and if you would like to learn about them, and are curious to know what our working together would involve, then I would be glad to provide you with a detailed analysis.

I really think I should respond with "Yes, please do," and see what happens.

Our clients consistently tell us that their customers find them because they are at the top of the Google search rankings. Being at the top left of Google (#1- #3 organic positions) is the best thing you can do for your company's website traffic and online reputation. You will be happy to know that, my team is willing to guarantee you 1st page Google ranking for most of your targeted keyword phrases in our six month ongoing campaign.

Sound interesting? Feel free to email us or alternatively you can provide me with your phone number and the best time to call you.

Best Regards,
Michael Dupre
Marketing Consultant

Should be, "Clueless, Lazy-Ass, Spam-sending, Marketing Lackey who doesn't do due diligence."

PS I: I am not spamming. I have studied your website and believe I can help with your business promotion. If you still want us to not contact you, you can ignore this email or ask to remove and I will not contact again.

Clearly, this is spam, given there is no website.

PS II: I found your site using Google search and after having a look over your website I recommend you to implement future technologies such as HTML5 and Responsive Design to make your site more accessible in mobile phone, tablets, desktop etc.

Check. Right. Google. Because nothing is known outside Google.

Except maybe those tens of thousands of years of history.

But who's counting that?
