Dear Ms. Williams

Dear Peo­ple

I have been given the task of get­ting links for our web­sites that have good page rank on the links direc­to­ries.
In addi­tion we have many cat­e­gories so your site will be place on an appro­pri­ate page.

If you would like to trade links please send me your web­site details.
If you are not the right per­son please pass this on to your webmaster.

Best Regards,
Helen Williams

Dear Robotic Spam­mer (Ms. Williams),

Sites with good page ranks have them, in part, because they do not par­tic­i­pate in shady deals like you are talk­ing about. Addi­tion­ally, on the com­pletely unlikely chance that this was sup­posed to be a legit­i­mate offer; spam­ming my email via my con­tact form and queu­ing up a a tor­rent of com­ment spam in my blogs mod­er­a­tion queue is NOT the way to get me to coop­er­ate with you. In fact, all it will do is get you added to my email’s spam fil­ters and added to my blog’s com­ment blacklist.

Best Regards,
Mark

    I just posted about the same prob­lem on my blog :)

    Who­ever is sell­ing these auto­mated “link build­ing” pack­ages should be shot.

    Shoot­ing them would end their suf­fer­ing far too quickly.…
    :D
