Unfortunately some people obviously missed that message:
Hi, I took a look at your site a couple of hours ago... and I want to tell you that I'd really love to trade links with you. I think your site has some really good stuff related to my site's topic of car rental and would be a great resource for my visitors as it deals with some great aspects of car rental that I'd like to give my visitors more information about. In fact, I went ahead and added your site to my Car Rentals i Resource Directory at http://xxxxxx.com/carrentalsinireland Is that OK with you? Can I ask a favor? Will you give me a link back on your site? I'd really appreciate you returning the favor. Thanks and feel free to drop me an email if you'd like to chat more about this. Best wishes, XXXX xxxxx.com info@xxxxx.com P.S. When you do link back, there's some suggested code to use at http://xxxxxx.com/addurl //(Links removed to stop them gaining from this post) Would somebody please explain what the connection between car rentals and hosting is? I can't see it. Any suggestions would be welcome. I am tempted to reply along the lines of: "Dear Muppet If you'd actually visited our site I would have to question your sanity. Love Michele"
