I received what seemed to be an unsolicited e-mail this week. It was a reminder that I had submitted my link to their directory recently. They stated that there were 57,000 other people who submitted free links as well. They do not have the resources to get to all these submissions. Tell me something I don’t know already.Here is where the e-mail got a little sloppy. It stated that their directory had sent “2.000.276” visitors to sites like mine. Yes I understand what they meant to say. They had 2 million people click their links. But this is a sales pitch. At least get your grammar correct.
The more I read, the more I felt like I was receiving a sleazy sale pitch. They stated that they were slashing prices 30% this week. I live in the USA. However the costs were listed in Euros. In addition, I only have 7 days to take advantage of the discount.
Apparently they are discontinuing free links. Here is the kicker. The e-mail stated they “would be sorry to loose [sic] me”. One again, you should really nail your English grammar before sending out the sales pitch. Know the difference between lose and loose. Otherwise I will assume you are lost.
The bottom line is that I have good content on my site. That should be enough for you to want to link to me. It is ok if you don’t have the time or bandwidth to add me to your directory. Just don’t try to sign me up to pay for a link on your site. That is not going to buy me anything. If I really wanted to pay, I would be going to a site with a higher page rank than yours buddy.
