I'm Clicking the Gmail "Report Spam" Button

I have found your website _______ when searching the web on the topics related to our website theme.

I must say your site content is very good and I think we would benefit much from possible partnership - for example link exchange. This would bring more targeted traffic to our sites, plus increase our websites' weight at the search engines, as they give greater value to the links from the topic-related sites rather than irrelevant backlinks.

Our website http://www.curtainpolesunlimited.co.uk/ is definitely related to yours.

Feel free to email me direct to penny@baker-simpson.co.uk to discuss the details on the possible partnership.

Hope for the fruitful cooperation,

Best regards,

Who falls for this? What site owner/manager would want their site to be linked to by a spammer? Who would want to do business with companies that send out spam? I doubt that poor business practices stop at an email account.

I consider it spam because I get several emails a week that are very similar in their content. All have minimal relevance to the site they are requesting a link from...about as much as a single mention of something in one post of this blog would have to the blog overall.
