    Yet again, I have more emails from bidding directory owners that can't be bothered to promote professionally.

    The site in question was voisd.com

    heres a screenshot of the email i got.

    I spent thousands promoting zorg links, and i appreciate that some owners have low budgets. However, DP is a great place to advertise your site, dont spam it through email forms please.

    Do you think he was doing this on a large scale, or just maybe contacting you and a couple of others?

    Its hard to tell. The email said

    so maybe it was personalised. I already knew about his site, was waiting for his alexa to improve, as there is no point buying links on a PR0 site with low traffic.....

    Appologies Mikey, the email was indeed personalised, i also sent 2 other personalised emails to two other similar directories that i had hand selected to contact for the search term 'bidding directory'.

    In terms of finding you, id actually found you through google and also through a number of other bidding related directories (however the primary find was through google).

    Rest assured that there was definately no mass spam/email mailing occuring... simply an offer of inclusion.

    Thanks for that sabian.

    I guess i got mad when i saw the email. Also the voisd.com domain did not sound too familair to me, was thinking it may of been a QBC member.

    As for finding me in google, what did you search for :p and where was i ranked :D

    Just interested, as zorg links isnt established in the SEs very much.

    Tbh it wasnt your link i found to be exact, id found you referenced in the description of some of the sites in the google results where obviously your listed... your mentioned in the descriptions on 2 or 3 of the results for 'bidding directory'. As for no PR, Voisd tends to get PR4s on subfolders/domains (hence our blog going straight in at PR4) not that i go in for all that PR prediction crap ;)
