Ghost-Town Marketing Morons: Linxmonster

 Posted on January 31,2009 in Uncategorized

Three virtually-identical emails from "Anthony Evans" and "Randy Miller" at linxmonster.com:

I was looking at websites under the keyword dui attorney [City] Texas and came across your site.... I see that you're ranked # [X] in Google. I'm not sure if you're aware of why you're ranked this low but more importantly how easily correctable this is. There's no reason you can't have a top three ranking for this keyword based on your site structure and content. You have a very nice site.....Is it Ok to give you a call? If so, fire back a reply and we can talk or give me a call 800-543-4559linxmonster.com PO Box 700261 Oostburg WI 53070 800-543-4559This is an Advertisement. To remove yourself, Click Here

Each email named a different city - Memphis, Texas (500 miles from Houston); White City, Texas (600 miles from Houston); and Oxford, Texas (300 miles from Houston). After the first email I replied to Anthony Evans at linxmonster, pointing out the distance issue and requesting no further emails. The request was unsuccessful, and the removal link does not work.

Is this like the Nigerian email scams, where they send out 12 million in hopes of getting one positive response?

Or do some lawyers actually look at the emails, think, "gee, I really should be listed higher than number 48 in a search for dui attorneys in a ghost town 600 miles away, higher than number 26 in a search for dui attorneys in a ghost town 300 miles away, and higher than 28 in a search for dui attorneys in a town of 2,500 people 500 miles away!", and reply to linxmonster?

What kind of lawyer would entrust her marketing to a company as incompetent at marketing itself as linxmonster.

Idiots.
