.... and they have replied saying they have "raised this as an issue
with our SEO company, so hopefully this will not be repeated".

You'd think a commercial company would be able to afford a proof reader.

I don't expect a tech to know how to spell but I see almost 10 errors.

I too had a reply from them, saying exactly the same as Richard
received. At least they took the time to reply: at a guess it will be
the last we hear from them, but perhaps they will have removed the shill
their "SEO company" hired.

Not really. Marketing people are notoriously blind to technological error.

But that's what SEOs do. However much they deny it, search engine
optimisation *means* generating bogus links - that is, ones whose
purpose is just to boost the page rank. This SEO employee was just
incompetent at hiding the fact that he was doing it.
