I Despair, I Really Do…

From someone trying to use my site to shill products and services by gaming Google.

Iā€™m writing to you because we have a number of clients who would like to publish an article on your site as a guest post. Is there a specific policy or condition to publish articles on your website?

You mean apart from the bit on my contact page that you clearly did not read before copying and pasting your missive? The bit that says in big bold friendly letters, I do not host guest posts? That bit? Was it really so difficult to comprehend?

I do not shill on here for anyone. I do not help you with your SEO. I am not remotely interested in PR. I make this very clear on my contact page. That is why your mail went into the bin marked “spam”. Because you were clearly too lazy to be arsed to read it.

      • Oh but the human ones are different, mainly because they are thick šŸ™‚
        Robots are of course an issue it’s a pity that there is not a clever little widget for giving them a nasty kick in the circuit board and frying their electronic brains, should they attempt to send the dreaded spam.
        Maybe some clever boffin could invent one, if I knew a clever boffin i’d ask them.
        I suppose until such an invention we all just have to suffer.
        Although I have to tell you if I hear from Ariadne on Facebook , who apparently thinks I am A/ male B/ asked her to marry me and C/ I don’t even have a ruddy Facebook page again I may well fry my own circuits.
        Avoir un bon vendredi LR.

        • I thought my world was a bit weird…

          But then, I don’t do Facebook. I just get recruiters trying to recruit me into entirely unsuitable jobs on LinkedIn.

  1. Ever remember the days of “illegal” C.B in Britain? (Late 70s, early80s)

    Where you had “Burners”, that could…. according to street culture, blow up the misscreants radio set?

    Point one. DID they exist?

    Point two….a usefull weapon against trolls and spammers?
