It amazes me sometimes how people ignore some of the little details that are so easy to deal with.<\/p>\n

I read recently that someone would never take advice from a financial planner who can’t afford a quality tie (bad taste is a different issue, of course!) My equivalent statement is that I would never hire someone for SEO help\/advice or other digital services (social media marketing, web design, ecommerce, etc) if they can’t be bothered setting up a non-hotmail,\u00a0non-yahoo\u00a0email address – Gmail and IP provider emails are not really any better.\"Receiving<\/a><\/p>\n

The blog I looked at yesterday<\/a> came to my attention by the owner asking for guest blog posts<\/a>. He provided a domain name and his Hotmail details. Why on earth doesn’t he have an email based at that domain name? Especially for someone claiming to know about SEO?<\/p>\n

This is a pet peeve, but there are some valid reasons to use a domain-related email address:<\/p>\n
