Its a single email, not a list. No need for a removal link.
Yes I can. That's what discussion forums are for, discussing issues.Originally Posted by Chris
Yes, and that's my point. Generally, the ones I receive are.Originally Posted by Blue Cat Buxton
That article speaks of "personalized emails that would be benefictual to their site/visitors".Originally Posted by Blue Cat Buxton
Ok, so I will state my position clearly:
I am not against emailing website owners looking for link exchanges - infact I replied to a link exchange request from a relevent, quality site offering a mutually beneficial link exchange just today.
I am against rubbish, bulk "turnkey" emails from poor quality spammy sites that expect me to throw PR and anchor text their way. I am also against the ones that "list me in their directories" and email me saying "well, I've linked to you so you've got to link to me with so many hours, or i will remove your link".
Sadly, these type of spammy emails are only increasing.

Here is a perfect example of what I am against:
A perfect example of the rubbish I receive daily. Bulk, generic rubbish.Hello,
I am the webmaster of <url of a personal injury law related site> which has a Google PR 6.
I am interested in a front page link exchange with your site: http://www.askwebmaster.com/
I also have two PR 5 sites, <url of cell phone related site> and <url of credit related site>. As PR 6 and 7 links are pointing to them, i'm sure these two sites will make it to PR 6 by the next Google Spider Update.
This exchange will help us both immensely!
If you are interested, please reply to this email and we shall move forward.
Thanks,

I send that kind of rubbish on a daily basis I just make sure that the site is health/fitness related.
All of my competitors have a couple of hundred of link exchanges, and I look forward to having a thousand.
Lol... Well, at the very least your link exchange request will be relevant/targeted. Don't forget that the above example was of a law/credit/phone related site wanting to exchange links with a webmaster related site.

Just finished a post at my blog on this issue. I think considering a link exchange offer as a spam is unacceptable. In case thematic, well indexed resource is offered, the one that will certainly be mutually beneficial - I see no reason for offending a webmaster by calling him/her a "spammer".
If non-thematic resource is offered (medecine, casino ) - it indeed deserves being called Spam. These guys use software sending tons of e-mail.
Since distinguishing one from the other is an easy task - I assume the issue is virtually solved.
