		<description>this caught my eye as we also got spammed by an Australian SEO company just today in blog comments.  

the commenter (Indian IP)  left a generic comment (and an attempted, but broken) deep link to one of this SEO company&#039;s many many inner doorway landing pages. 

still trying to work out whether to dig deeper and then out them or just let it go.</description>

		<description>That&#039;s hilarious Anna.

You and other readers may find this experience with them interesting.

I received the same emails a couple of months ago.

If it&#039;s the same one they started off by saying, &quot;we noticed your site isn&#039;t fully optimized for the search engines, would you like us to help you with our cheap services?&quot;

I knew it was just spam but decided to play along with them and see what they would say.

So I hit the reply button and said, &quot;Thank you for your concern about my site not being fully optimized for the search engines. Before I ask you more about what your services can do for my site, as I own several sites,
would you mind telling me which site you noticed needed the optimizing? Thank you. Eagerly awaiting your reply. Please advise,&quot;

The next email I received from them was yet another one talking about they noticed my site.

I replied and said, &quot;I sent you an email to the address you asked me to contact you by and asked which site you had noticed needing the seo and still haven&#039;t received an answer. Please advise.&quot;

Needless to say, they couldn&#039;t respond with the link to any site as what they hope to do is find an email
address that matches with the site and hope that those they spam do not notice or call them out on it.

Neither of those were the case with me and they no longer contact me anymore.

Hope you may have received a nice little chuckle out of that experience and not just because it proves I need to get a life. Lol.

Best wishes,
Doug</description>
