Almost every time they are people trying to rank splogs with stolen content. They understand a link from my site is a trusted vote but I guard my network like a hawk and 99% of the links submitted to my directory are spam because sadly only spammers can find it.

We could place your links in a prominent place on our resources page, which is highlighted on our index page. It could increase your Google ranking a great deal, depending on the number of sites you decide to exchange with us. Attention! We can write an article for you to place there. We’ll write this article specially for you to fit in the theme of your website, and in exchange we ask only for attribution in the form of a link from the article to our site or sites as the authors. If you’d like more information, just reply to this mail. He never sent his URL, in fact - the request seems more like an SEM company seeking out leads rather than a link request. The email he sent is from a domain name which returns a 404. He did however, send his photo which I thought was amusing right before I deleted it. Here’s one I received just this morning

I've improved upon Arelis 100%.. too bad I did it for my company, the web based version I made works much better and could have made me a ton of money reselling it. BWDOW, it’s not hard.

He must have a poor site if the culture of this site is of interest to his audience ;-) Maybe we can raise the intellectual level a bit by discussing Shakespear. This seo related blogging just attracts the flies. Sad.

Don't tell them that. You're gonna kill the PR Leprechaun. PR Leprechaun = the invisible and presumably non-existent little person that gives the luck of the Irish to those sites that participate in link exchanges, use that stupid link manager software, create closed networks of their own sites, and do just about everything else imaginable to make that toolbar image just a touch greener. Leprechauns are Irish, and the colour green is associated with both Ireland and the Toolbar PR. And so, on Matt's blog a new creature is born. And what a daft thing 'tis, at that! RYAN!

Isn't that the reason we used to trade links in the first place? I'll send you some of my visitors if you send me some of yours. Afterall... Pagerank doesn't buy stuff or fill out forms on websites. Neither does being #7 vs # 2 in Google. Most of the places I trade links are in places Googlebot doesn't even see. One of my pages trades links on it's search results page. If users don't find it searching my site, I offer some other sites where they might find it. Heck, I even use text-link-ads ... but only on a "thank you page" that you can't see without filling out a form. about 12% of my users click it and people repeatedly pay me the monthly fee to be there. I figured this would be the board where people would "get it" ..... Visitors >> pagerank.
