First off, SEO Shree – I have no idea who this person is and I assure you that they are no way affiliated with our company. Our business is an eCommerce consultancy that structures our service offering around tactics with social media and content syndication (for SEO), multivariate testing, and web analytics management. This gentleman is not an employee of ours rest assured.

More than a year ago, I received an email from a company asking if I wanted to purchase some relevant one way links within the eCommerce sector. I thought that the offering was fair, that webmasters would be compensated, and I agreed to a quick 5 link test. I was not expecting triangle link schemes, nor was I expecting the ridiculous writing that was received from your business.

I agree with the post. Begging for links does not work. In reality, it takes one of two things, great content or compensation in the form of currency.

Thanks for letting me state my side of the story…

I’m interested in finding out how they planned on getting me a link on your site though. Obviously, IF I’d accepted their offer, and IF the link didn’t appear on techsinasec.com, I’d remove the link they asked me for. So what purpose would this solve, you know?

That said, would you want to explain why you still have a “resources” section as you do? I’m curious, since that’s one of the least effective ways of getting links that count for anything these days.
