Hey Shaun

Well being based in Russia you can probably guess we’ve had our share of these types of emails ;0) Sad thing is – you couldn’t even buy a decent Indian/Russian SEO at that rate either, but people seem to look at India/Russia etc. and assume wages are very low there. They are lower, but not *that* much lower people!

Either way we don’t do English SEO anymore – just Russian marketing only these days (Yandex etc.). It’s a great niche and we have excellent Int’l clients.

We do sometimes get these low-price inquiries from Russian firms but funnily enough they have never managed to match the lowest figures I’ve had from US-based inquiries.

As you say though – you have to take your business seriously. Would you launch any business on that kind of budget? You get the feeling some people still believe the web is circa 1999 and with a little effort they can be the next Amazon. Unfortunately those times have changed now and the big boys have moved into the space. To get traction for your business you now need to take the medium and budgets much more seriously.
