My competitors can not compete with my SEO skills, so they do blackhat SEO, buy links, do shady PBN's and the only way to combat this an stay on top is to also do these shady tactics.

All that use such tactics is doing a great disservice to those unaware of the language of business (GAAP) which is accepted world wide.

Please refrain from using this tactic, no one believes it anymore.

Trying to do these things based on assumptions will only lead to trouble (this is coming from personal experience way back when...)But, there are literally numerous ways to get traffic for online marketing: social networks, web 2.0 platforms, syndication tactics... it all really comes down to two things: testing and tracking.

Let us know if you get a different response as I have "been there and done that" several times and tactics do not change.

Rich,Could you provide a basic example of your asset allocation and estate planning tactics?

Their email came from a hotmail account, with an addy indicating some sort of legal regulatory implication "lawsreg7".Does anyone have an idea what they want or the tactic behind this?

Maybe its just my area though.I am definitely not trying to scare you, just mentioning that some of these tactics require good help.

Would love to hear more about how you found your deal and the tactics you used.  

Personally I can't stand the term PITCH.It just invokes in my mind a sleazy tactic to try to sell someone on something and talk them into doing it.I like the term "present you an opportunity" better.I think choice of words can have a bigger impact than people give them credit for.
