One would think that since my web site has been around for 11 years, and since I’m a one-person shop and my name is front and center on my homepage, and since I specialize in link building, I shouldn’t receive link request spam.
One would think.
Here’s today’s beauty.

Where do I begin counting the ways this link request is a failure? Forget the silly subject line, ignore the impersonal bulk request footprints all over it. And ignore that it’s not even close to being on topic for my site, and that my site doesn’t even have a links page. For me, the bottom line is if you don’t have the time to look at my site, I don’t have the time to read your email. DELETE. Until next time, I remain,
Eric Ward,
