SPAM Link exchange mailers

Just came across this post on Email from Spammers, and I couldn’t understand as to why those third-rated link exchange guys keep blasting spam emailers, and am not clear about what they achieve for their clients by doing this. I’ve even had people instant messaging me asking if I’m interested in any link exchanges.

In general, all major search engines can identify exchanged links from natural links, and in these days of Search2.0, I don’t understand why people often exchange links with pages like these…

It is better that they read more about linkbaiting, understand what back links is all about and start working towards building natural links, which can have a significant effect in the site’s search ranking in the long run.

    Though a link is a link it is ridiculous the way they email. Some of the ones I get are not even relevant.

    You know, some people are just doing their jobs. Plus, if it were really that ineffective, I’m sure companies wouldn’t be spending time & money to do it!

    I always get those SPAM email messages telling me they already listed my link. on there multiple sites. So I called the company and they had no idea who was even in there site. APPARRENTLY they hacked the site and made a link farm. They farm wasn’t linked to the homepage but listed in the sitemap so they where getting indexed! on the Web.. Be Careful!
