Anyone using textlinkbrokers?

    Just got this email, I can't figure out if it is just spam or they really mean it.
    I do have some spare space on my site that I could use for putting up sponsored links. Has anyone used this company before?

    they do one way linking for clients and do sometimes pay webmasters for links.

    I know what they do, I want to know if this email is legit or just spam sent to another 10 million webmasters.

    no need to be hostile, how would i know if they sent the email to 10 million people. i just stated they do pay for links for clients.

    So it looks as if its an email to you... even if others received this email does not mean it is spam...

    i don't post here very often and thought maybe you did not know how they did buisness, sorry i tried to help.

    No worries kaptain, Fryman can just be a little cranky.

    Keep posting!

    Cranky? oh, you'll know when I'm cranky, why do you think I'm hostile? I'm just trying to figure out if these guys are serious or just wasting my time... :D

    I am in another country, so I don't think calling them would be a good idea, I'll send them an email and see what they reply.

    I'd ask them where they got your email, how they sent the mail. Heh... did it have your name in it? Or your site? What client sent it?

    I'd never do business with a bulk mailer, no matter how good the offer was. Just encourages them to continue bothering the millions of other people who don't want their crap.

    But that's just if it's was a bulk mail. If it was genuinely written to you, sounds good.

    I totally agree with you, nddb, I wouldn't do any business with a spammer either. They sent the email to the contact address I have on my site, and the email included my site's URL, but any spammer can do that.

    I did send an email asking for more details about this. I will let you know if ther reply.

    I got that email too a few days ago. I was intrigued, but my sceptical side kicked in and i trashed the email.

    I have been working with them for around 1-2 months. They're honest people, and I'm happy with their work. (I'm a publisher.)

    I got this same email too.. but it turned out that they couldn't guarantee enough links (incoming or outgoing) to make it worthwhile for my site (adult themed)..

    If they had checked my site before sending the SPAM.. it would have saved me the hassle of even responding !

    I've never dealt with them, but they also sent this email to me 3 times so far. Seems like they just got an email list from some directories or somewhere else and emailed all of them.
