I’m fairly new to blogging and came across your site hoping to create a useful backlink to my struggling domain and had this great pitch to grab your attention and S**T! someone has beaten me to it!

I’ll have to go away now and think of another suitable request to lay at your door. Could take some time as I’m a slow thinker.

Cheers,
Neil.

Michele – I think the google search in one of my comments above sorta sums it up

Speaks volumes. As they say, there’s a fine line between genius and insanity. Or in this case between genius and stupidity.

I reckon though it’s a great email template for a link request (if it weren’t for an ‘SEO’ related site).

I’m now beginning to change my mind and go along with Dave.
This is one of the weirdest things I’ve come across in a while.

I was tempted to show you how I use that little rel attribute on some of the comment anchors that are left here as well… I have a very handy little tool that lets me add a nofollow to people who abuse the author anchor.

But what the hey… I’m feeling nice. You just want to hope that I don’t start ranking for your company name

Yeah I was thinking about that. Do I include the link? Well just so inquisitive types can take a look I put it in (suitably condomed of course – don’t want to be linking to any bad neighbours after all).

If I am proven to be right then this guy doesn’t care though about the nofollow – he’s only after traffic (check out those high volume phrases he’s targeting with the links in the footer).

I have a feeling he knows exactly what he’s doing. Of course, it could be very far down the other end of the scale….
