Electrical Pro - Peter Matthew Havas blog spamming to promote business

Australian businesses like Electrical Pro should be careful of who they use to promote their business. Today I received a comment on my blog promoting Electrical Pro. The post was written by someone in India so obviously wasn't done by Electrical Pro, but by a service provider on their behalf. I suspect Electrical Pro has retained the services of an SEO organisation, or perhaps their web designer, but Electrical Pro should check out their suppliers before they retain their services.

Often smaller businesses in Australia decide to promote their business but don't ask the questions they should. Simply asking how their business is going to be promoted is a good start.

Spam is spam and whilst it isn't illegal in Australia to spam others by writing comments on blog posts, it is still spam and shouldn't be used as a means to promote your business.

Don't turn a blind eye when promoting your business. You know what is right and what is wrong. There is no excuse for spamming. Poor decisions in business reflect on your business. The business in India has made their money, but the ramifications of being caught blog spamming shows poor business judgement and will cause people to question your business ethics. I know I'd rather use an ethical business rather than a suspect one.
