Tell him as soon as his site is among the top 20 competing for the phrase 'online dating' you guarantee his link will be on that page.

oh yea!
but why he is so fool and not reading what is on this page and what is it all about.

why he did effort to write me email and asking for link :x Amazing!!!

I know. Just someone looking for a link and not really bothering to check the site before asking. I bet all the looked at was the PR. I get some weird ones too.

I like the emails that go
"I looked on your site and see you have taken my link down.. Replace it or we shall be forced to remove your link from our high PR high traffic super duper website".

When i say i like them, i mean i tolerate them..
When i say i tolerate them i actualy mean i hate them.
What i really mean is every time i get one i feel like putting my head in a vice and spreading honey all over my body and releasing hornets while listening to the entire back catalogue of milli vanilli and having sumo wrestlers wearing high heels do the Mc Hammer dance on the small of my back.

You mean you aren't scared you'll lose their valuable high PR high traffic super link? It could break your entire site. The ones I usually get just make it clear they've never even seen my site outside of the robot that harvested my email address.

And that really sounds painful.

After looking at thier site it is a nice online pharmacy they run lol.

I guess if they send enough of them emails out eventually they will find some people who believe them. It's almost like the key to killing spam is to educate people. If people didn't respond to the emails they wouldn't send them.

Nice. I can see why it would be important for your site and an online pharmacy would need to link. Makes so much sense.

I'd like to think educating everyone would help and I know I try, but think of all the times we've talked here about the latest link farming scam and then the next day a new thread starts asking if the next one works.

I think the problem is that too many people just want something for nothing. Everyone's looking for that one thing they can turn on and place in the corner to forget about, that will bring them millions while they sleep.
