They keep arriving. Garbage spam from so called SEO businesses. This morning, one from information@tnlr.net. They tell me my fly fishing site is not ranked on the search engines. Ummm… ok.

No, it’s not ranked for “muscle medications,”  “saltwater fish grand prairie” or “herbal fish medicines” – but it is very well ranked for a huge number of search terms that people actually search on.

In the spring, summer and autumn, it gets tons of traffic, with an Alex global traffic rating of below 300,000 world wide and below 35,000 in Canada.  It has a Google Pagerank of 4. Pretty darn good. It gets tons of traffic in those three seaons, and the ad income is .. well… pretty good.

How is that some spammy search engine company can send me an email to tell me that it is not “ranked?”

Look, just about every business and their website needs ongoing search engine optimization, but not by businesses like tnlr.net (who don’t even have a website).

I hope you would trust a business that has been doing this since 1997 and is transparent about their work! Give me a call if you need some help.
