[...] You may remember a while back had an email from Nick Slevin offering to SEO my website. It was an unsolicited spam email that lead to a website that was under construction, as you see from the original post here. [...]

The same here. I have to admit that an “under construction” Chinese website isn’t very reassuring.

I got the same email as Bryn and Lama. Competitive enough tactics, just a lousy follow-through. I had my email sent to my personal address. Interestingly enough I've done a few wee Transformers comics in the past, available on flickr and as a pdf at the link on my LJ profile page. Then again, EVERYBODY loves transforming robots.

Yes, I got this same spam, on an email address that doesn’t have a website associated with it.
Funny how his own website is “under construction”, was only registered three weeks ago and he hides his registration information in Whois.
Not the behaviour of anybody I’d want to do business with.

I just received the same email and Googled his url and found this blog entry! I felt just like you did a week ago, MrDaz, when I received the email, so thanks for sorting this out! Copyblokking is indexing quite fast on Google, I guess it must be sort of unique in its url…

I wouldn’t worry – he’s even targeting professional SEO’s now. And he can’t get to the top for his own name in Google!

Looking at your site Matt, you don’t need any SEO work done anyway! Nice strong site you have there.

I just got the same e-mail today, so I guess he is still hopeful for some gullible clients.

Funny thing is my girlfriend works for an SEO firm, so the Subject of the e-mail caught my eye (usually I just ignore most of the spam).

Regards,

Matt

He also sent me an email last night. Funny thing is I DO NOT have a website, and never had one, ever!

Just got the same… found you in a Google search…

“Let me know if you’re looking to get a higher listing with search engines.
I can send you the details first, just let me know how you would like to communicate.

Sincerely,

Nick Levin”

Damn spammer
