1A few months ago I received a message via contact form from some woman, polite, well written, asking for a business email so she could send me a business proposal about a join venture involving my blogs.
Well. When it arrived, the “business proposal” was a +20 pages PDF, talking about an online store I never heard of, teaching me what are links and how they work, and how much credibility I would earn if I decided to add a link to their store in my blog.
It was NOT EVEN A LINK EXCHANGE… her proposal was “link to us, it´s good for you”.
How naive they think we are?
