I just want to know who’s taking them up on their offers and thus ensuring that they carry on with their spam. I wish we could find everyone who responds to that sort of spam and take away their computers. Once no one is responding, the spam should stop…right?

I personally think that link is not a thing which needs to be begged ! There are ample of links which we can easily backlink from high pr blogs. The only thing is that we should have the right tools. I personally link to more than 10 blogs having PR > 5 everyday.

And of course link is not all. I also have pages where there is absolutely no links incoming but started with a good PR. It all depends on the keyword density and your keyword compatibility.

Relevance is also the most important thing that matters. As you know practically speaking relevance is the only thing on which internet works !

The funny thing is that, a few small changes to that letter and some well placed links and it could become a huge viral email on how dumb this person is. It would be emailed around and posted by a ton of blogs.

Hint: Pretend you have no clue on how to make link bait material. Send out clueless letter showing how dumb you are. Get links!!

It’s especially sad when you consider how easy it would be for them to create some great viral content for a sex toy site. I’d make a quiz - “What kind of sex toy are you?”…maybe an “Our dildo recommendations for famous people throughout history” feature…or a series of pieces of famous art with sex toys Photoshopped in…

The possibilities are endless.

These links emails are really very common. I don’t know how do they figure out the ways to pass those spam filters. Don’t they know that link trade is dead long time back.

I would have ignored that email after reading the first two lines! Plus I hate all that “look we have given you a link already, please link back” - Oh great you’ve given me a link on some spammy site, great!

A geniune request for a link exchange from a related site is a different matter.

I pity them really. After putting so much of efforts, I wonder how many really responded to them positively. What a waste of time and effort.

My thoughts are, if you want those big links, you have to go after the big sites. BUT, if they’re big, then they must know what they’re doing, so it would be a waste of time to send a dumb link request like this.

I mean, does he SERIOUSLY think Coolest Gadgets is such a big site and the owners don’t know what they’re doing
