Is SEO becoming Spam?

Hi all. Well I own an SEO business, but recently, more than usual, have been inundated with SEO spam. I receive at least 2 phone calls per day, and maybe up to 20 emails, all from SEO companies promising me top rankings for my chosen keywords. Clearly they haven’t bothered to check my website as there is a clue in the name as to why I don’ty need their services.

There was a time when I would write back to some of these businesses and point out the error of their ways, but this also was to no avail as they would simply come back with an offer for me to outsource my work to them. So for a while now I have been ‘junking’ the emails and not hearing from them again.

The same goes for the cold callers, except they can be a little harder to get rid of unless I am feeling particularly belligerent, in which case they get the short shrift. (Ordinarily I’m very polite).

So, my question to you, is do you receive a large volume of unwelcome emails and cold calls from alleged SEO professional, and do you consider this to be spam? Would love to know your thoughts or experiences, so feel free to comment.

Thanks all

Mark
