Seth Godin takes on Reed Elsevier’s recent “marketing”. It’s worth blogging as I wonder if an LIS blogs out there have experienced this?
“Over the last few weeks, I’ve received several meails [sic], all the same, all from real people at Reed. They baldly (and boldly) ask me to swap links with them as part of a scheme to move up the Google rankings. Anyone who reads this blog knows that I don’t do that, nor does any reputable blog I know of.”

One Reply to “Spammers, and proud of it”
I got an email from someone saying they liked my site and asking me to swap links to improve Google rankings, but they didn’t say which site of mine they liked. It was my work email, so I didn’t know if they meant the library web site (which I don’t control) or what. They were vauge and didn’t say what site they represented so I deleted it. Losers.
