    I just got this email from someone telling me they have placed a link on their site (this was a link I had reciprocated with another site) and they then asked me if I could kindly reciprocate. Fukn shady I tellya how stupid do they think ppl are? Instead of wasting their time on this bullshit why dont they think of creative ways to get one way links to their site, geez.

    [Note to self] dont ask dcisto for reciprocal link[/Note to self]

    Are you saying the link was already on a site you had exchanged with and someone was trying to get a free link?

    I've had direct competitors saying they love my site, could we exchange links. It's programmed, no cross referencing. quick, simple, lazy...

    Can you tell me who was the sender of the email. I got a couple the last couple of days as well wondering whether it might be someone from here that is collecting info and sending these requests. Im almost sure it is someone from here cuase they are linking to coop pages as well. I just saw a page with coop links on a 404 page is that allowed?:confused:

    Lol Do you reconigse the names Dorothy Wilson and Frank Wilson by any change . The funny thing is both of the above names used the same email adress as yours. Both used the same link exchange prinicple as you described. What a coincident. :rolleyes: Lol this family Wilson seems to have moved to India. ;) At least that's what their ip adress shows as their location.

    You people still bother to read that junk? I just hit delete and get rid of it as soon as it gets to my inbox

    Emailing for link trades is a thing of the past

    Here's another funny one
    I was feeling mischeivous so thought I'd click through but the server is apparantly overloaded - that or they've clocked my email address is live and don't want anymore to do with me ;) Brandon (eixwrmiphnp@morozstudio.tk) is maybe hoping we'll get excited by the filth on his email domain? I'm guessing it's filth but the images took forever to load on my adsl and I closed the window ;)

    But really, do people normally fall for that crap?
