Link Exchange

Get a lot of e-mail from other sites wanting to link exchange, most are all spam. The most common type are asking to link to one site while they have yet a third site link back to me. The two e-mails today called it one-way linking, or triangular linking, it's a scam. They want a link from me [A] to point to their site [B] to improve the page rank of 'B'. However, site [C] normally has no page rank and does not help [A].

Link exchanges should be from 'X' to 'Y' and then 'Y' to 'X'

Site 'C' is what is called a link farm, and normally will not do your site any good. Also 'B' never even points to 'C' and my be a third party site altogether. The over all purpose of the scam is to get sites pointing to 'B' with out 'B' looking like a Link farm.

My response is to hit the Report Spam button in G-mail. Stay away from link farms!
