From The Email Of Todd Mintz

Hiding intentions of evil, Under the smile of a saint?€?.?€?  Kris Kristofferson I was going through my email inbox looking for ideas to write about when I came across some stuff I sent out recently.  Somebody asked me to review a blog post and after reading it, I responded: ?€?This post really doesn?€™t work for me.  Some of the grammatical constructs throughout the post are awkwardly done and I don?€™t feel that you?€™ve made any tangible connection between?€??€?

I get a lot of REALLY BAD LEADS?€?mostly from really good people.  These folks recognize they need search marketing services, which is positive but frequently have the toxic combination of limited budgets and unrealistic expectations Continue reading
