The nerve to argue. I wonder how much business I'd get if I argued with a potential client. Usually with telemarketers I speak my native language in response to their questions and while I never say anything bad, insulting or bad (I honestly reply to their questions, only in a different language). After a while they just hang up...... I do switch back to English if they say something I don't like.. and that throws them off... kind of toying with them like Jay. Teresa,

And then they make the statement that they can get you on the first page of all the search engines. Fortunately I don't have time to spend with them.

I bet that stopped the sales pitch cold. I remember in another post somewhere that someone suggested asking how much it would cost to be on page five of Google rather than page one.

I have said the same thing Jay says . . . "my site was number one on page one last time I checked". They spam us too. The sad truth is many agents don't know how to get traffic and even when they do get traffic it doesn't generate business for them so they buy these products. Funny . .

"Did you know your site isn't on Google?" "Really? Hell it was there this morning, wonder what happened?!?" I love toying with them if I have the time. Sometimes I just ask them, "What are your thoughts on internal page linking structure? Is fully meshed or hierarchical better?" Then I listen to the sounds of crickets chirping. (and no, I don't fully understand all that fully meshed / hierarchical mumbo jumbo, but I betcha 10 to 1 I know more about it than the caller) T, I get these knuckleheads calling all the time.
