How Not To Write A SEO Proposal

I’m getting lots of spam mails and spam comments lately selling me SEO services promising that I’ll rank at page 1 for my keywords, get more traffic and make more money. Although it’s true that ranking on page 1 in google will get more traffic to my sites, I didn’t like the way I was approached by these SEO marketers. Where did they get my email? Am I interested in the first place? Why should I trust them? Do they even know what I do and write about in this blog?

Here are just some examples of so called SEO proposals that I’ve been getting in my inbox and comments. Try to learn from them and see why they didn’t work on a target like myself.
