Sorry man but this is spam :|
You need to read the rules (http://www.ihelpyou.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=18677) before you post like this... it will be removed soon.
We are all SEO people, we all do it for a living, we all want more clients but we help people here for free.
If you want to advertise you need to do it on your site and get your own customer base.
Hopefully you read the rules, stay and become a great member, we could always use another quality SEO :)

Adrian,
Dave brings up a great point, if you are good with your SEO then you should have a great site with lots of traffic and more customers than you know what to do with.
Spamming other peoples forums for business doesn't look good.
It doesn't look automated, so I would bet that you WANT to do well, so read the rules, stick around and learn from eachother.

yeah, and we know a few other forums out there that actually allow these people to tout their seo wares. It amazes me the stuff people can get away with at other places.
Let's see:
promotion of "tools"
promotion of "services"
I know of at least one main one out there who always allows promotion.... except by a whitehat. :D

It's a shame he started off on a spammy foot. A quick look at his site, seems to show he has a decent grasp of things, though he has a few major problems with his own site; www vs. non-www and a serious problem with code bloat. He may have been a decent contributor ... I guess he still can be if he learns the error of his spammy ways. :)

What some don't get is that they could pick up business at a place like this if they only made helpful posts by helping other members.

Yup, thanks for your replays... Just trying to get some subcontractor jobs from other SEO professionals here.
I have other metods to get my own clients (working in websites development area) and I know it's not realistic to get new direct clients from this forum, as I'm newcomer here.
Every such kind of forum was created by SEO experts, to share some thoughts between each other, but the main reason is to catch new clients, this is like local mafia :)
Anyway thanks for thoughts.

Local Mafia? Who're you kidding???
What you did was spam, and because it was spam the URL to your spamertisement was removed.
If following the rules here is too painful or difficult for you, please don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Just trying to get some subcontractor jobs from other SEO professionals here LOL! By spamming :confused:
Any SEO that needs to to resort to spamming for work is no good in my book.

Well gee; We all give our time to helping people for FREE. Nope; this place ain't much about talking to other seo's in here. We "are" about helping other website owners/webmasters. You must have us mixed up with other places.
If a result of all of us giving our time for free is that we might just get a member who decides they don't want to learn or do this stuff themself, then what's wrong with that? You chose to not read our guidelines, and to simply register to tout your wares when you could become a good helping member. There are PPC engines you can use that will give you instant work if you place ads with them. This place is not one of those as members actually have to spend time first by helping for free to see the benefits of being a good member in a great place.

No problemo chuanita... No rules is not painful for me, but just looking what kind of public here, especially moderators. You could delete this post if it's not under your rules and that's it, but you choose to post as spammer for one post, and to pronounce as big spammer. That's why it was my first and last thread in this forum.
About mafia, it's just the winged phrase, and I'm not kidding, open your eyes to reality (look DMOZ, some SEO forums).

I suggest you learn to read the rules of ANY forums you post to FIRST.
I also suggest you get some manners.
You could have turned this thread you started into something positive, like erm:
"I'm sorry. I did not read your rules first. I want to become a good and helpful member in here."
You have not done that..... yet.

You have not done that..... yet. Yes, there's still time - stop feeling sorry for yourself - there's nothing sadder than someone who is contrite just because he got caught.
And start thinking like an honest man. Forget this thread, read some others (and the Forum Guidelines (http://www.ihelpyou.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=18677)), and contribute.
How hard can it be? Hey, you might learn a few things about yourself, too ;)

jkm we treat all self promotional post the same.
The way to promote yourself in a forum is to get involved. Share your knowledge freely.
The way not to promote yourself is to post an add that violates the forum guidelines.

I'm good person with sense of humour, but you look too serious guys and don't want to look back to your carrier and to hear other thoughs. We all don't know 100% truth about SEO, Internet marketing, so we try to share experience, experiment and so on...
How did you became who you are at this moment? No mistakes? No experimentations? When you try to lie to yourself...
I've tried submission to to hundreds search engines ONCE, I knew it useless, but I wanted to try myself, and I did it ONCE. It was a true. I've send couple thousands bulk emails ONCE, that's was at the beginning... I have my own methods to find clients, and I'm testing, experimenting a lot, just to become better each day (this thread was also test).
Why do you need to mention these spam emails, spam companies in this sub-forum, are they so bad if you got one email from them? Is anything gonna change after that? Are you 100% right doing your business, your promotions?

But please never say we didn't try to help you.

I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.- Michael Jordan

I've learned from my mistakes. And I can repeat them exactly.:D

Adrian,
I think that you may be going the wrong way on this :|
There are lots of oppertunities here, and elsewhere but you can't get them for free by posting an advertisment. If you help a lot of people and work then you become known as someone that knows that they are doing, and have people ASK you for help.
It just isn't free, nothing is. To do it you just have to work at it :p
I see your site, and it has a pretty good grasp of some concepts, I am very sure that if you come in here and help out that you will yourself learn a lot, and get some business. Especially from your site, that should be getting you a few clients a month, and that is more than enough to make a good living on :D
Hope you decide to stick around and become a contributing member.

Not just any forum, a forum that you have been running for YEARS most of which at a huge loss, and spending more than 50 hours a week answering questions and helping people for FREE....... after all of that how would you feel if someone just stopped by to spam the forum.

LOL. Now we're getting somewhere. :)
If you stick around here and do some reading, you might learn something you didn't know and you might even be able to contribute something here that you know, that we weren't aware of.
For the record, I'm not an SEO -- I'm a programmer and designer. :)
There's plenty of great threads here and a wealth of information.
Cheers.

Adrian,
Thats great. I really think that you should stay around, there is always more to learn and it is rewarding to help so many.
Hope to see you around some more.
