As you may know, I sometimes get contacted by content marketers. You may also know just how I feel about people contacting me without actually reading the blog first. Hint: not good at all.
Well, it’s happened again. I received another “cut-n-paste” request for a guest post. This time, I decided to give them a taste of their own medicine. It wasn’t the longest correspondence, but for what it’s worth:

Wonderful! Oh, yes, most wonderful indeed. Splendid, even.
How old are they and what breed?
Sadly, I never found out what breed they were, because for some reason Bipasha didn’t get back to me. I bet they were huskies, though.

This line is so good Daniel: “I wish you keep stringing letters together and putting phrases into complete paragraphs!”
Because it is exactly how the troll letter reads.
Makes me want to send you a troll request just to play. 😉

Do it!
We can have a perfectly nonsensical conversation until the Internet gods ban us both from going online.

Until now, I’ve always deleted these comments immediately. But you seem to have such fun with them. Maybe I will respond the next time – and then I can blame it on you if I subsequently get swamped with such requests!

You can blame me all you want, but don’t act like you won’t enjoy the troll attention!

But they would have included Keywords, Heading, AND Article Outline! When was the last time YOU posted an article outline, huh? HUH?

That is so true. I don’t even know what “keywords” are. These guys are clearly pros. My loss!

I’ve been getting much more of these lately, too. Sadly, I don’t have your courage to message them back. Such a conflict avoider I am…
