Weird Phone Calls We Get
Today I’ve finally been pushed over the edge of taking telephone calls so i’ve decide that i should give people an insight into the typical calls that i get to deal with.
Today’s call went like this
Me: Good morning Bronco.
Lady: Hi is this Google.
Me: No we aren’t Google.
Lady: Oh well I’ve been trying to call them, as i need to change my phone number.
Me: Well what are you trying to change your telephone number on ?
Lady: My website.
Me: Oh right well that’s something you would need to change, as Google doesn’t do things like that.
Lady: Oh well I don’t know anything about stuff like that.
Me: Well you’ll need to get to get someone to alter it,that knows about website programming.
I’d guess that they found us from the following search, in honesty we get a couple of calls a week asking if we are Google Analytics.
Another popular one is
Me: Good Morning Bronco.
Caller: Hi are you American Airlines, I have a problem with my ticket.
Me: No we aren’t American Airlines.
And heres why they call

http://www.weblinx.bizI can safely say here at Weblinx we’ve not had this problem as of yet, but I can imagine it must be quite an awkward atmosphere once they explain their purpose of call, hehe.

Hah, so in Dave showing off his ranking power with irrelevant, keyword-driven blog posts, he’s essentially having to pay you to spend your time answering junk phone calls that are a direct result?
