I like a good link exchange when I can get it. If a site is relevant, I make some effort to find a good content page on my site, where the link I return will benefit from relevance and possibly even be of interest and use to my own visitors. I am always willing to chat back and forth to find just the right placement, so if I am willing to do that and find that my own site is better for it, why am I being swamped with link exchange requests via email from people who have quite clearly never looked at my site? Please tell me why would I want to exchange links with a chiropractor in South Africa? Perhaps they think the stress of booking a holiday in Tenerife is going to drive some of my visitors to put their back out and need to fly to the other side of the world to sort it out? I particularly hate when these emails use the word partner in the subject. If your site can offer a service to my visitors - oh like say, you offer excursions and want me to promote them for a small commission - then we are partners. If I agree to have your children and live with you forever, then we are partners. But swapping links - NAH! Get real. Save the Partner Proposal subject line for when you really mean it. And if you are a chiropractor in South Africa - NO! I don't want to exchange links with you so stop bugging me.
And it takes so much time to go and sort through the junk ones to find the ones you really do want to link to. :-( And some of them keep sending email requests again and again.
Do you think any of your visitors would want/need to learn Spanish? Would ya like to "partner up" with me and do a link exchange with a Spanish-English dictionary?
Geez I am glad I am not the only one that experiences this problem. Especially when I put up for a link exchange or sale. I would think that for the most part that someone would try not to do a link exchange with me if they have a site for medical beds. I would think common sense would prevail even if you were not specific. And even if you were specific they still send in requests.
I live in a liberal town, whenever you use the word "partner" they assume you are gay. My friend owns a construction company. When he talks about his "partner" he will also refer to him as his HETEROsexual lifemate to make things clear.
lol - Thats funny ..... it reminds me when I was trying to explain to the girls father I was dating in my broken attempt in their language that she had caught me cheating.. Little did I know I was using the wrong word and I was telling him I was horney at the dinner table with their entire family there! Couldnt understand why he turned so red!
Ha. Language slips - love them. I nearly broke my bf's nose when he said in broken english that he wanted to go to the happy whore bar in Thailand. he meant happy HOUR!
whats wrong with that? can't a whore be happy? anyhow thanks for telling me this, now i be careful when joking around you. why risk my nose!
Well we had been at a bar earlier in the evening where there was a whore that was very happy. I thought he wanted to go back there. It wasn't really his nose that was in imminent danger of being cut off before I figured out what he was actually talking about though.
