I hate those emails too! I can't believe that they really think people will respond well to them, especially if they contradict themselves and can't write proper English. Right on.

Probably it has already done the damage. I see no sitelinks for AllyDirectory now :( Duh? I know it's not related!

Yes, i realize that the mails are more of a spammy types. However as with this mail the owner did place my link on his forum and it's not a spam forum. It's a good poker forum, with just 4 outbound links including 1 of mine. Problem however is that i didn't approve of any link exchange either do i want a poker forum linking to my directory. I mailed the owner twice but no replies or action taken yet. So i moved up a level an mailed it's hosting company, i.e. IllusiveCreations. Even if they don't take an action, i may have to mail Google explaining everything. Hi Naif. Yes, i realize that the mails are more of a spammy types.

I actually just for the heck of it replied to one such email and in response I got an email asking what the URL of my website is. duh! And the other email you quoted isn't unique either. Just Google for "Recently I visited your website while visiting your site I noticed that you link to As we are closely related to them, I would love" without the quotes and you'll see what I mean. <blockquote> Their stupid algorithms and bots are going to visit that poker forum, see my link over there and penalize me for purchasing link on that forum </blockquote> This is one thing I really dislike about Google. We can't control who links to us! And it would be wrong of Google to assume blindly that we have purchased links on those sites. Why don't you email that person and ask him to remove the link from his website? Sharat,

It's fair enough to give that guy a chance to remove my link. I just hope Googe bots don't visit till then. Nicole, i wasn't angry for the email. I get such link exchange on daily basis, that too around 10-15 of them. I simply delete them. However this guy actually went ahead and linked my directory on his poker forum. That's what made me a little angry ;) Abhishek, since it’s weekend, i think it would be good to wait for a while. It’s fair enough to give that guy a chance to remove my link.

You must report this to Big G. Further, I would not get angry, I would simply laugh and delete the mail. I agree with Abhishek. You must report this to Big G.
