I'm sharing with you the "full" content of an email from a person who owns "multiple" websites with "multiple" linking schemes. This person uses all those sites and sends out probably "millions" of spam email for the purpose of "link mongering" with other unsuspecting webmasters who fall for this kind of crap.

Please note on one of this person's many websites, they allow the submission of "articles" and such, and also post the "names" of the authors of the submissions. Please notice the large network of interlinked websites by this ONE owner, who happens to link to ALL sites in the "footer" of each one of them.

This is a big link mongering network with the purpose of being for the so-called search engine affect. It's another great example of people out there with agendas that even some BIG names in this industry don't quite get.

Trust me; many of us will see your name, and will associate your name to this EMAIL SPAMMER and big link network. It's a very Unprofessional thing to be associated with.

I will show the contents of this spam email first, and you all can find out the names associated with this huge link scheme network and huge EMAIL SPAMMER.

You can decide for yourself. :D
Hi ihelpyou.com,

Reciprocal Link invitation

My name is Kelvin, I have quite few web sites and I am looking for reciprocal links partners. I found your site ihelpyou.com, and would like to exchange reciprocal links with that site or any others websites that you own.

I spent a lot of time and effort to ensure my visitors gain the maximum benefit from their visit, and from what I have to offer.

After months of linking experience with many sites, we have found that links are a powerful way to contribute extra free traffic for all links members and enhance both party's Search engines ranking. Therefore, we have decided to operate individual links directories in all of our individual websites we own. I feel the exchanging of links would be a mutually beneficial arrangement.

You may view our directory at:
http://www.salesrole.com/linkmachine/linksdirectory/linkspartners.html Links directory
If you are interested in exchanging links, you may submit it at:
http://www.salesrole.com/linkmachine/linksdirectory/url_submission.html - Submit URL here

Your site will get listed in the higher top rank in our category if you submit early.
Our policy of reciprocal links exchange is, the older and earlier links exchange submission, the higher it will get listed in the links category. It is according to a first come first serve. The earlier the link exchange is listed, the better position or better rank and position in the category listing. There are many categories still available now for you to get listed on top of the category which you prefer.

We have other sites that also have links directories and we would be happy to have more sites to exchange reciprocal links with. Do you own any related or relevant sites that you might be interested to exchange reciprocal links with, in the individual directory we have? All sites are welcome but NOT INCLUDED are adult, gambling, casino and porno sites. We advise to put your site in a most relevant category. We have created difference categories and await your links. If you can't find any category relevant to your site, send us an email to add the category for you.

Our other websites are as follows. Simply click on Add | Submit URL in the particular links directory of the website for submission.

O'l Kevin did not realize that simply sending his SPAM to ONE wrong person can get him VERY WRONG publicity that he might not want.

This will also show you the names of others "in this industry" who probably don't have a clue as to who they are now associated with. You will have to follow the trail of links yourself to see the names. :)

Our industry is full of BS and Crap.... let me tell you.

BTW: Feel very free to post your findings in this thread. :)

I'm sick of email spammers. I'm sick of link mongerers. I'm sick of people in this industry who should know better, but clearly don't.

I'm sick of search engines giving ANY kind of credence at all to "paid" links and ads, and to link exchanges of any kind. And some wonder why link exchanges and paid ads are being given lots less of importance these days?

Another thing:

http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient-ff&ie=UTF-8&rls=GGIC,GGIC:2005-09,GGIC:en&q=text+links

Look at all the sites that come up in the organic results and the sponsored ad results. Amazing how many sites out there sell links. And we wonder why the se's are degrading the importance?

And yes; I wish to abolish all of these services that sell text links. I'm sick of them. Period.

Yikes! Let's help narrow that down a little bit for you Doug...

http://www.google.com/search?&q=%22text+links%22

Only 23.7 million instead of 1.6 billion, give or take a few. ;)

Actually, it's more like 344,000 if you're using the correct terms:

"buy text links" (http://www.google.com/search?q=%22buy+text+links%22&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&start=0&sa=N)

And only 198,000 if you refine it a little further...

My goodness. This site even tells us they were formed by a "group" of SEO's.

Ain't that fitting?

The absurdity of it all.

The facts are that this website's services will eventually get you penalized in ALL the search engines. Period.

Ask me how sick I am of some people in this industry? Truly sick.

Regardless of how many pages are returned, the e-mail was Spam, and what the network is trying to do is Spam. I agree with Doug they will eventually be banned.

From the couple of pages I checked they are not having good results. The highest PR was 4. Pretty easy to achieve.

Unfortunately when the scumbags are banned anyone who has exchanged links with them may be banned too.

And now the Anti Spam Hounds have been released, Google may start searching for those services.

All they need to find a few hundred thousand crap sites is a good search engine ;)

And they've got one of them! :D

I am actually tempted to use their service but I don't want to use it thinking it might be another link farm and can be banned by Google. I was also advised to get one way links only if possible.

Of course it's a link farm. Use it at your own risk. Don't come crying back here if things go very wrong. :)
