Though I did not bother to write back to him. I wrote a letter to his employers, asking how an "India's leading IT company" got so low. I also did a quick check in Google and it seems he's not a "Jim". It's his real name and he's a noob SEO from Ahmedabad, working for Tatvasoft.

I DON'T have any keywords "interior design" on my website but he claims he found my site through that search. So that's baloney too. ;) Hmm, maybe I wasn’t clear enough.

Maybe I'll even start up a free blogger blog and post them there with some Adsense, lol. By the way, he claims he found my site for the interior design search, and I don't even have a single keyword "interior design" on my site. ;) NoviceSEO – good idea!

Spider bots require the 'a' tags to recognize a link - otherwise it's just a keyword on your site. But that is pretty crazy... You get a link from a poor directory, and he gets a high-qulity relevant link... that's just not right... That is correct Tomaz.

Of course it can still send traffic to the site from people such as myself cutting-and-pasting it into the browser so we can have laugh at these clueless jokers. Trouble is, if they send enough of these out there will always be someone inexperienced enough to take them up on the offer.
