I got the following submission via my contact form this morning:

From: Donna Gabriel [email address removed]
Subject: SEO

Really? Here’s what I would write in response:

No, I don’t care about increasing my online leads. Obviously you didn’t look at my blog or else you would have realized I’m not selling anything here on this blog, and as a result, I really couldn’t care less where I show up in the rankings for anything other than my own name (which I already rank first for). When will you learn — spamming is BAD business.
