    Someone sent this to me today in regards to my Bulldog Breeds website, and I couldn't help but laugh.

    Got any funny link requests that you'd like to share? :)

    How much is the pet insurance? :p I always get the same boring requests like "I find your site "blah blah" to be very helpful would like to exchange links with you...blah blah".

    I've gotten a request along the lines of "My sister is very sick so I have decided to start a website on something completely unrelated so that I could use all of it's revenue to help with her hospital bills. If you would be so kind as to link to it she would be very grateful. <insert link here>"

    Though, when sending out requests personally, I'll generally tell the person their site is fantastic and ask if it's OK to link to them. I'll then point them to the page with the link on it. I find that I get more people linking back to my site by giving one way links to theirs then offering a reciprocal deal. Of course once every few months I'll take a tally of the one way out going links and clean them up ;)

    I don't think it was joke...seems like it was written on the level.
