Getting annoyed at some adverts in here, anyone else?

    I’m getting a little annoyed at people advertising links for sale but when you enquire about them there not on websites they own and there just selling the information or offering to spam some high PR forums or such like. I’m not talking about directory/blog submitting services.

    Am I the only one who when a thread says e.g. PR6 link for sale, expect the seller to be the owner of the site and to place the link themselves.

    I think there should be some rules to help clarify what people are offering. If a seller doesnt own the link then they should have to say so and if the links are on forums, blogs, guestbooks then they should also state that.

    Anyone else agree?

    The solution might be that, you dont look for it but let them come to you. Maybe start a thread to Buy what kind of link you want and put all your requirements will be more effective and you can choose the seller you like. I didn't say it's your fault but we can do nothing to stop those people.

    That's a great idea. No doubt the thread will be buried in minutes, so you might want also to link it in your signature :)

    Use trusted sellers, and make sure you ask them and everything. If they don't, then just put them on your ignore list so you know who's the spammy ones.

    Not defending these guys at all, but where else besides link sales should they post these "pay me to tell you where to comment" threads?
