Some old-fashioned techniques just never seem to go away when they should just curl up in a ball and disappear.
Yep, the number of emails I get daily now since I made the move from a Calgary Small Business Computer Consultant to my new gig working with the business community in Calgary helping many small to midsize corporations with online marketing, social media strategies and search engine optimization have drastically increased.
So no, I don’t want to exchange your garbage links with you! Just because my clients have great page rank doesn’t allow you to spam me asking to exchange links. That is so 1999 of you. It simply never works out to be a fair trade anyways.
Go out there and earn your links the right way. Offer real information that people would love to share, blog about or retweet…but don’t email me asking for a link from my website to yours. The answer is NO, if you even get an answer from me.

Thanks for the great article, Stuart. As always, you are a master communicator who understands technology very well!
When I read you blog for the first time, I was very intrigued with you response in declining invitations even before they occur. Very clever and well said!
