When someone like me posts something like this on a forum:

Seeking pr2-pr4 link trades. Almost every niche needed/accepted. Show me what you have via PM or ICQ and I’ll respond with something that’s relevant and helpful to us both.”

Someone like you isn’t supposed to ICQ me like this:

Rachel: hi link trades?

Me: what’s the pr and what are the sites?

Rachel: what niche are you looking for?

STOP!

You already know I that I requested all niches and will have something for you. You already know what I am looking for. Don’t read my request and then ask me what I just asked you for. It wastes both of our time and itt shows you’re just hunting every link trade you can capture and aren’t paying attention to who you’re talking to or what thread you read. You just want every little link trade like a greedy spammer. You’re basically a link savage who probably doesn’t offer any quality links on quality websites. You probably run a pr1 site with 50 hits per day and 127 link trades in your footer and 4 pieces of content on a default Word Press template. At least get a free template like I did.

Not happening.

This is how Rachel should’ve responded:

Rachel: hi link trades?

Me: what’s the pr and what are the sites?

Rachel: domain.com/pr3, domain.com/pr5, domain.com/pr2…etc.

Me:  Sure, I can set you up with…

It’s called getting down to business and skipping the chit chat. For a guy (me) who runs 30 websites on their own, this saves extremely precious time that can be used for important stuff like vacuuming and changing cat litter, or eating lunch in my underwear while setting up a new homepage trade with a milf site. All things more productive than answering my own questions to a girl who didn’t read the thread I wrote or at least pay attention to the person responding when she’s spamming every ICQ number on a forum. How do I know she’s just a scavenger? It’s because forums are the only place I request link trades and post my ICQ address. You won’t find me requesting link trades with ICQ information on any of my websites.

Sorry Rachel, but I had to block you.
