Cross Linking Offer
I figure this belongs in this category. You check it out and tell me what you think.
I received this email (edited for privacy):
I am contacting you about cross linking. I am interested in guru-international.com because it looks like it's relevant to a site that I am the link manager for. The site is about discounts for San Diego golf courses.
I keep the web address confidential and will send it to you only if you give me permission to do so. Just let me know if it's OK, and I'll send you the web address for your review. If you approve of the site, then we'll exchange links.
Looking forward to your reply.
It isn't really SPAM but it is autogenerated. How do I know? It arrived because I was high in the Google search for "golf" because I intentionally misspelt "Gulf" (in Gulf War) and also had the picture of the wally at the women's protest holding up the "Iron my shirt" poster (also references to golf can be found here, here, here and here). This combination of articles convinced some search bot that my blog had something to do with the game of golf!
