Ever wondered how much link exchange spammers get paid?

Had one of the usual my client would link to swap links blah, blah emails offering me a pointless unrelated PR zero site link swap and looks like they left the original email attached.

I replied asking for $9 to swap with my PR5 site

Link Exchange
You set the price and I will work up to that point. contact 900+ people per day. PR3 - $4 per url, PR4 - $6 per url, PR5 - $8 per url, PR6 - up > $12 per url

The ones that get to me are the
"i have a client but I cant tell you who they are unless you agree to swap"

Basically its because these companies want to spam without it damaging their brand so you only know its them if you are interested (and then your not so likley to call them spammers)

Surely, you can't do any kind of link exchange without some form of SPAM, if you use the pure definition - i.e. sending out an email to someone with whom you had no prior relationship.

However, I guess an individualised request is a very different ball game to one of the standardised "I found your site on Yahoo, my favourite search engine, and I really like it" messages.

sending out an email to someone with whom you had no prior relationship.

the actual term to be used is "unsolicted".

If you have a links page and make it known you swap links then the degree of unsolitation is reduced.

If you say "email to exchange links" on your site, it is not "unsolicted" but it that actual one may be "unwanted".
