This guy will ask spammers to stop spamming you in exchange for links!
The beauty just came into my blog’s spam filter this morning:
Name: Anikrichard | E-mail: | URI: *spamlink* | IP: 72.9.235.218 | Date: September 5, 2007
hello , my name is Richard and I know you get a lot of spammy comments ,
I can help you with this problem . I know a lot of spammers and I will ask them not to post on your site. It will reduce the volume of spam by 30-50% .In return Id like to ask you to put a link to my site on the index page of your site. The link will be small and your visitors will hardly notice it , its just done for higher rankings in search engines. Contact me icq or write me , i will give you my site url and you will give me yours if you are interested. thank you
This is one of the more appealing spam emails I’ve seen - in return for him doing you a favour, and asking the nasty spammers to stop, all he wants is a link to his site.
I don’t have the time myself, but someone should talk to this guy and get his URL to ‘add a link’, then send him off the the Google Webspam team. Would be fun to see what happens. If anyone wants to take it on, let me know - I would love to see how it turns out / how quickly the guy is banned.
Yeah… I got the exact same comment. I deleted it.
I found this post whilst searching on the internet for this guys email! What a cheek, he has left exactly the same message on my guestbook and I know it’s him that’s leaving all the spam messages on there.
I wouldn’t swap links with him if it’s the last thing I did. Guess I’ll keep hitting the delete button or maybe I’ll change things so all comments need to be moderated.
Spammers are such a pain in the neck!!! I can’t see how spam links generate enough backlinks to make a difference anyway as the search engines aren’t daft these days and I’m sure no traffic is gained from the links.
I get the odd ‘we should link to eachother because its going to help our search engine rankings’ email, but this really takes the biscuit.
