Human or bot? A Clueless Marketer of the Year Award to ‘Jason Miller,’ regardless

By David Rothman

image I don’t know if “Jason Miller” of LinksTiger—no link provided!—is a human or a robot. But I’d love to nominate him/it in either case.

Here’s some fresh spam (bearing that signature) received by our e-book site:

Hello, my name is Jason Miller and I am an internet marketing specialist. I was looking at websites under the keyword truck parts and came across your website… I see that you’re not ranked on the first page of Google for a truck parts search. I’m not sure if you’re aware of why you’re ranked this low but more importantly how easily correctable this is. There’s no reason you can’t have a top three ranking for the keyword truck parts based on your site structure and content. You have a very nice site.
