It's a small, small world in the outsourcing SEO / SEM Space

[Jeremy_Goodrich]

I just got a file handed to me. Written by some bloke that wouldn't even return my email, more than 9 months ago.

Do I remember who they were? Of course. It's not often I write a fellow SEO / SEM person and NOT receive a reply back.

So here I am, sitting on this piece of paper, prepared by this individual. A "proposal" if it can be called that.

Filled with outdated information, incorrect assumptions, and details on how ranking algos worked about 2 years ago in some cases, one year ago in others...and how 'so & so' has an 'algo' when - it's not an engine anymore, it's been retired. :)

I learned a while ago, as I've been around the block far too many times to think about, that I should never burn bridges. That means being courteous in email, forums ;) etc. If my email gets ignored by some bloke, and then they email MY firm, wanting to provide services...do you think I'm going to want to hire them?

Absolutely. You never know who will send you a referral from working with you, or be your next contract worker or even your business partner. Then there are a few people along the way who you never want to deal with again.

If this SEO firm was serious about your business, they would have got thier act together awhile ago, I wouldnt follow up myself

Is there any way to change the title of the thread to say "world..." instead of "word?".

:eek: misspelt and it bugs me ;)
