Automatic Email Lag

Posted in: Blog by NORBERG on June 19, 2010

We just had an idea that email clients should make available for their users. Why not set up a setting that allows for a 5 or 10 minutes lag before sending a document. You can click on immediate, but default would be to lag. That way if you realize that you missed something, you can pull it up and make the changes before it finally sends.

Is this already available? We’d love to hear about it. We just shot off a few emails that shouldn’t have gone out. too late now…

Foreign Link Exchange

Posted in: Blog, SEO by NORBERG on June 2, 2010

Everyday… EVERYDAY we get barraged with emails from people asking to exchange links. 1 in 10,000 is legitimately considered by our company. Why? This is our most common form of email:

Why will we not accept this?
1. It looks EXACTLY like 9,000 of the 10,000 we get every month. It’s obviously automated, which means we’d be added to a list with 1,000 other unrelated sites.
2. The company has absolutely no relevance to our clients. Why would an art website link to a pool builder?
3. There’s more, but I won’t waste the time.

The other email we get a lot is from people with REALLY poor English. We’re as guilty as the next company for occasional grammar and spelling mistakes, but the emails we get are far beyond a simple mistake. These guys have no right to be asking for links. What kind of a website do they have if their emails suck this bad?

Anyway, that’s how we feel. This won’t change anything. The same schmucks will keep annoying us, because they certainly wouldn’t go to the lengths of actually reading someone’s site before asking to link to it.
