Surely I'm intelligent enough to realize this is spam... But I couldn't help but respond with
abuse@gmail.com in the cc line.
Dude.
This is at least the sixth spam I’ve gotten from you re: zi255.com. I’m a professional web developer, and a damned good one at that. I happen to know my way around SEO, I code my own solutions, I have tracking systems that rival the UK CCTV project, and I maintain it myself. That’s the way it is, and that’s the way I want it.
Had you done your research (i.e. spend more than 30 seconds on the site), you would quickly realize zi255.com is my personal blog. There is no company associated with it, it’s just a guy who wrote his own blogging engine. The least you could do is draft your own personal canned E-mail templates instead of having each of your accounts use the same one.
Go away. Tell your employers to stop spamming me. I don’t want to have to start forwarding these to the respective abuse departments.
