And This Is The Thanks I Get?

I was looking through old chat logs and found this classic that exemplifies how I feel about ignorant retail SEO clients. 

sylly (8/4/2005 2:49:00 PM): tom california: do you have any idea what it costs a client to use your services? tom california: i mean, you looked at our site … it has problems … it is not optimized at all … i know that … sylly: you can check this out http://www.harvestseo.com/ 

sylly (8/4/2005 2:49:45 PM): tom california: i read the website 

michael (8/4/2005 2:50:15 PM): tell him we are wholesalers to the SEO industry 

michael (8/4/2005 2:50:31 PM): we don’t normally sell to single sites, but to people who do many sites 

michael (8/4/2005 2:50:48 PM): ask him if he’ll blow me at SES san jose 

sylly (8/4/2005 2:50:59 PM): tom california: anyway, he just gave a basic ranges … 50k to 100k USD! tom california: a bit expensive for us … 

michael (8/4/2005 2:51:40 PM): I did say $50K to $100K or more, but that doesn’t mean he has to spend all that at once 

michael (8/4/2005 2:52:32 PM): his site needs a lot of work. He doesn’t even have a page made that is properly targeted at the consumer market 

sylly (8/4/2005 2:52:53 PM): tom california: so you do know the fees … and the quotes … sylly: no, i don’t.. as i’ve said, he priced it. it also matters on PR tom california: PR? sylly: so, if your site has a low PR, and not optimized, expect to have a higher rate 

michael (8/4/2005 2:53:54 PM): look, we aren’t interested in any projects less than $5K 

michael (8/4/2005 2:54:10 PM): however, it is nebulous what $5K can buy you 

michael (8/4/2005 2:54:17 PM): we can do it all in links 

michael (8/4/2005 2:54:27 PM): or we can allocate some to onsite optimization 

michael (8/4/2005 2:54:41 PM): the extent of which will depend on his money 

michael (8/4/2005 2:55:05 PM): or we can refer him to someone else for onesite opt and just do his links 

michael (8/4/2005 2:55:19 PM): does the fucker want to compete or not? 

sylly (8/4/2005 2:57:47 PM): well, i already gave that reason to me. and you know what his answer is? 

sylly (8/4/2005 2:58:07 PM): ” please dont give me sales bullshit now”LOL 

michael (8/4/2005 2:59:40 PM): we’re not in the sales bullshit arena, we’re wholesalers to the SEO market 

michael (8/4/2005 2:59:42 PM): fuck him 

michael (8/4/2005 3:01:01 PM): I’ll cut his fucking head off and have an orgasm in his neck as his body convulses into lifelessness 

sylly (8/4/2005 3:01:21 PM): hush.LOL 

michael (8/4/2005 3:02:00 PM): I meant “her” not “him” cuz I’d cut his fucking balls off first 

michael (8/4/2005 3:02:45 PM): I try so hard to be nice and polite 

michael (8/4/2005 3:02:57 PM): to communicate my needs and wants well 

michael (8/4/2005 3:03:08 PM): and this if the fucking thanks I get? 

sylly (8/4/2005 3:04:59 PM): michael 

sylly (8/4/2005 3:05:02 PM): are you sick? 

sylly (8/4/2005 3:05:13 PM): do you lack drug dosage again? 

michael (8/4/2005 3:08:26 PM): LOL 

michael (8/4/2005 3:08:40 PM): just a little hunter thompson for you 

michael (8/4/2005 3:08:51 PM) to make sure you are paying attention.
