Hi
My name is Amy. I’ve just visited your website urbanhonking.com/before/moneyblog and I was wondering if you’d be interested in exchanging links with my website. I can offer you a home page link back from my Business and Marketing website with page rank 2
As mentioned, your link would be placed on the site HOME PAGE, not on any “links” pages which may be buried in the site somewhere. I’m sure this exchange would be benefitial for both of our sites, helping towards increasing our visibility in search engines.
If you are interested, please add the following information to your website and kindly let me know when it’s ready. I’ll do the same for you in less than 24 hours, otherwise you can delete my link from your site.
DESCRIPTION: Redshift Research is a leading UK business market research company.
I hope you have a nice day and thank you for your time.
Best regards;
Amy
Web Marketing Consultant

Wow. I’m not sure how I could possibly express the level of disgust a message like this gives me.
First off, this is spam. Secondly, you are trying to game the Google system, which is likely to get you banned. And finally, for what? Why are you even trying this? It’s a waste fo your time. If you spent the same amount of time working a minimum wage job as you do sending out stupid emails you’ll have more money at the end of the day. But no doubt you are in the midst of fucked up GRQ scheme that you paid to get into and you’re hoping to “hit it big” by flipping a domain or tricking enough people to visit your shitty site that maybe they click on an ad.
What a fucking waste.
Waste of energy, waste of bandwidth, waste of your life.
Okay, maybe it’s not spam. It’s worse. It’s worse knowing there is a real human being on the other end of this email. Whoever you are, you have to at least suspect that your current strategy isn’t going to work. The whole thing is built on deception and greed. Is that how you want to live?
There are better ways. Honesty makes more money. Stop thinking short term and consider the future. There is no GRQ, it takes time and energy and hard work. Clearly you have some desire as you are desperate enough to be trying this… but really, you have got to be smarter than this. Aren’t you? Please be smarter than this. I’m not sure I could handle the idea of humans being gullible enough to believe, to TRUELY believe in this sort of nonsense.
I’m glad you emailed me. I’m sorry to come off so harshly, but this is a matter I care about. If you want to keep talking, email me back. We could work together and make something real.
Vimeo gets several of these per day.
