Hello, my name is Jason Carter and I am an Internet Rankings Engineer. I performed a Google search for the keyword lab grown diamonds and upon perusing past the first page, i ran across your website www.kith.org. I see that your website is currently not listed on the first page for this keyword search.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

OH NOES!!!!! MY SITE IS NOT LISTED ON THE FIRST PAGE OF RESULTS FOR LAB GROWN DIAMONDS!!!!! WHAT EVER SHALL I DO?<\/p>\n

This explains why nobody is buying my lab grown diamonds. I'd better hire Jason forthwith.<\/p>\n

(He actually included a local phone number in his email; I'm tempted to call him just to find out what he was thinking, but it's not worth my time.)<\/p>\n

PS: I love the job title “Internet Rankings Engineer.”<\/p>\n

PPS added later: I figured it out: I once posted a blog entry in which I talked briefly about lab-grown diamonds<\/a>. So Jason's spambot is presumably contacting the owner of every page that appears in the search results for [lab grown diamonds] but that isn't on the first page. So it's not as random as I had thought, but it's still amusing.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
