Dear Head of Business Development at Nicedwellings.com, Were you aware that you are paying every time for your online marketing advertisement is clicked? It hurts! I know, as many of our clients have shared this frustration when I first talked to them about how to drive more quality prospects to their sites - without having to constantly pay for every click. I thought you might like to know some of the reasons why you are not getting more organic (FREE) search engine traffic for Nicedwellings.com 1. Your home page rank is 0, this can be improved further. 2. Open directory listing is not available. 3. Your site has 92,082 Yahoo back links, this can be improved further. If you can stomach more bad news about what your site needs and are curious to know what our working together would involve then I would be glad to provide you with further detailed analysis in the form of a SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION (SEO) SITE REPORT - FREE OF CHARGE. I would first need to know that you are serious about using our services, as the report would involve several hours of our research. To brief you about the company, we are a SEO Company with a worldwide customer base. A team of over 700 SEO specialists in USA and India, serving a vast portfolio of clients who have transformed their businesses by just opting for our services.Thus, we would like to talk with you about how you should be winning new business from the search engines without paying advertisers over and over again for it. SEO is not instantaneous, it is not free but it is the only sensible internet marketing choice.Your return on investment (ROI) after 6 months of SEO will be at least 3 times that of paid advertisements and many times greater than our cost. In fact, we guarantee that in the first month of our work, you will see an improvement in ranking, link popularity and traffic or we'll work for free until you do! Our clients consistently tell us that their customers find them because they are at the top in Google. Being on the top left of Google (#1- #5 Organic positions) is the best thing you can do for your company's website traffic and online reputation. Ironically,it's very likely that you spent your last 6 months of online marketing in dollars on SEO instead of paid advertising that you would have 3 times or greater traffic than today and not need the paid advertising at all. Fortunately, you can still start today and begin getting that traffic in just a few weeks.We look forward to discuss our SEO plans with you. Sounds interesting? Feel free to email us or alternatively you can provide your best time and phone number to call you. Best Regards, San 209 6833 433 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PS1: This is one time email and we won’t contact you if you don’t respond to this email.You may also ask us for “REMOVE”. PS2: We found your site from online advertisements but did not click the Ad to visit. PS3: We work 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. So we will send more details on “our company profile”, “client references”, “case studies”, “why you should choose us?”, “price list”, “guarantee” etc. upon getting positive response from you.
