An Epic Fail By A Gadget Company - How NOT To Market Your Website

Just received a question that someone posted…

“Hi Alex, any chance you could add our site (link given but I won’t post it here) to your list of Gadget Sites / Blogs? It is the season to be jolly and all that! :)”

Unfortunately this was posted anonymously.  So I went to the site given and it seems that it’s a legitimate gadget site but why would someone from the company post a question here anonymously?

Sorry, but whoever posted the question, anonymous mind games techniques are a bit of an epic fail and a reflection of your company, its branding and culture if you cant even be bothered to leave a name.

… and the answer to your question…

… no… I won’t link to your gadget site…
