Is That All?
I had another bit of blogspam arrive in my email box today. This time from Jan Jallores representing a social networking website for receptionists. Now, when someone asks me to host paid for links despite my contact page saying specifically that I don’t host commercial links, I sigh inwardly, particularly when their opening line is about doing research. I mean, if I clearly say that I don’t do it, why bother pasting a form mail asking me? Waste of time, I’d have thought.
However, what is interesting is that a specific figure was mentioned – along with a specific piece of text in one of my older articles. So far, so good. Very precise. As is usual, I checked to see if Jan had form. They always do, don’t they?
Here the blogger concerned is offered $75 for a link. Here the offer was a mere $50, so the price has dropped. You can see where this is going, can’t you? I was only offered $35. I almost feel cheated.

That’s free markets for you, prices adjust up or down depending on the response.
So surely they should be going up?
“…social networking website for receptionists.”
Wow! Talk about your niche market…

I thought that, too. so I looked at the site. While there is an element of social networking, it is primarily selling remote receptionist services. So good old SPAM after all.
