Your Web Visibility Report (fwd)

Thought you'd all appreciate this spam that I got sent:

From: dsmith <address removed>
Subject: Your Web Visibility Report

Your report was prepared using the search engines listed below.
"BORING BIT" was the term used for the search. The #'s beside
each search engine represents the position in which that engine
reported your website.
Your web sites URL: www.ifis.org.uk/official.html

Yahoo 016
Lycos 000

[blah]

N.Lights 000
AltaVista 034
Webcrawler 000
PlanetSearch 000

================
WVI 025

This report only reports positioning within the top 30 listings. A
listing further down is not of much use as most users will only view
results from the top 10-20 positions. Remember that you can always
request another report, for any website, for any search term, from our
site, and it's always free.

[followed by instructions on how to make my page turn up higher on
search engines]

So the IFIS pages don't come very high in the search engines when
anyone searches for "BORING BIT"??? Blimey, I'm gutted! ;-)
