    I am emailing from a leading advertising agency based in London.

    such as yours, to place some adverts on your website and would like
    to know if this is something which would be of interest to you?

    The placement of our adverts are contextually matched to the content on
    the page, therefore relevant.

    as we feel the positioning of your website will have strong benefits for
    both parties.

    Please email me back with your thoughts or questions.

  10. Hi Huzaifah,

    Thanks for dropping by my website. I hope you don’t mind my comment in Nomadic Matt website. It wasn’t really a criticism but I do think that the domain name is very misleading. Your website has improved a lot since my last visit about a year ago.

    You have really done an excellent job to achieve 1 million visitors in just 2 years time, congratulations!

    In regards to my website, I thought I have already worked on my SEO, what else is missing? Do you mind sharing? Thanks.

    Cheers,
    Shelyn
