I received such a comment on my post:

"Hello Web Admin, I noticed that your On-Page SEO is is missing a few factors, for one you do not use all three H tags in your post, also I notice that you are not using bold or italics properly in your SEO optimization. On-Page SEO means more now than ever since the new Google update: Panda. No longer are backlinks and simply pinging or sending out a RSS feed the key to getting Google PageRank or Alexa Rankings, You now NEED On-Page SEO. So what is good On-Page SEO?First your keyword must appear in the title.Then it must appear in the URL.You have to optimize your keyword and make sure that it has a nice keyword density of 3-5% in your article with relevant LSI (Latent Semantic Indexing). Then you should spread all H1,H2,H3 tags in your article.Your Keyword should appear in your first paragraph and in the last sentence of the page. You should have relevant usage of Bold and italics of your keyword.There should be one internal link to a page on your blog and you should have one image with an alt tag that has your keyword….wait there’s even more Now what if i told you there was a simple WordPress plugin that does all the On-Page SEO, and automatically for you? That’s right AUTOMATICALLY, just watch this 4minute video for more information at. Seo Plugin"

I am unsure of whether I am indeed not optimizing my SEO so any help would be greatly appreciated :)

Yes

Steve has created a good walk-through on how to quickly identify comment spam:

Anything with a URL in it is almost ALWAYS a spam comment and anything that does not add value to your overall contents conversation should not be approved either.

yes it is spam. i have had the same mail and asked the same question. Trash it and signal it as spam

Hi - yes it is - trash it.

All they are trying to do is sell you their product, and then upsell to many more that will "sort your SEO problem".

Basic rule is, if the comment is not contributing to, or adding debate to your posts topic - it is spam.

When it comes to SEO - just follow the training here - no tool that gives your page a score will get people to visit your site. People don't look up a score and decide what posts they read - they read the content.

I hope this helps?

All the best, Mark
