Default Recieved sone Email Marketing, Real or Spam?
I got the following email today to an address that reaches all admins on my site. Google (Who manage my emails) marked it as Spam, and normally there is a 50% chance of the spam being normal mail. I cant figure out if its legit or not. I don't intend on replying however...

I have no problems with the standard gmail but the one managing my website emails has about a 50% hit or miss rate.

It may be spam, but if it is a legit offer you would get the free review and if you’re already on top of SEO for your website, new ideas won’t hurt you.

It's unlikely that they would give away good ideas for free!

I've gotten a similar e-mail - it said "our company is number one in Google for SEO" - but it was sent from a GMAIL address. The problem with that is that they didn't mention a company name, so in one respect it was a little smart.

Why is a "professional" marketing company sending e-mails from a g-mail account and not their own domain?

you'll head to their website and they will give you a few free tips (probably something you already know); then they'll ask you to pay for a more detailed analysis, this is probably spam, unless this is a newsletter you signed up for a while ago but can't remember signing up to.
