Get Quality Home Page Link

You know you have arrived when you get a reciprocal linking request. This arrived in my inbox today:

Hello,

We visited your site [name] and are interested to swap links
with your site.

We would add your link at the home page of
[URL removed] which will actually
help to increase the search engine rank of your site and give you some
targeted traffic too.

We’d appreciate a link back from the home/internal page of your site for
the mutual benefit.

If you are interested please reply to this email with your link details.

We look forward for your positive response.

Best regards,

Well, it must still work, I guess. There is only one problem, the URL they sent me where my link would go was to a domain that expired five days ago. srsly

Woops. I mean seriously, get it together. You are going to ask for a reciprocal link, but then tack on a domain that is not there. Maybe the barrier to entry is too low online.

  1. The real question is, will “bartered links” sap your Google page rank?
