Okay...once again some poorly misguided dumbtard randomly hit me up on Google Talk (no doubt one of the trolls on the Google groups) asking to exchange links (note..I'm not really from Belize City, but whateva).
Let this be a lesson to whoever else decides to waste my time with this idiotic requests...
justin.chd: Hi
justin.chd is busy.
dave: hi
justin.chd: wanna link exchange?
dave: ummmm no?
can I ask you something?
why the fuck do you think that shit still works?
exchanging links?
and btw

may wanna follow along
justin.chd: you know l;ink building also most important for good ranking
I know blog is also good for ranking
dave: AWARE
but going around asking random people to link exchange most certainly does not work
where are you from anyway?
justin.chd: ya i am agree with you
dave: not only does it not work, it annoys webmasters
create link bait....use your news alerts to identify what kind of content is resonating in the blogosphere
and i meant for you to read that blog entry
justin.chd: ok
dave: you'll notice Google has been significantly moving pagerank down for sites that are huge link farms
but whoever gave you the idea that effective link building is just asking people to exchange links was wrong
if you're going to use link popularity to your advantage you gotta do it by shaping your content
otherwise its a matter of time until your pagerank and everyone you're linking to is discredited

justin.chd: I am not do link building ever.
dave: you just asked me if I wanted to link exchange!
if by 'not do link building ever' you mean in the last 30 seconds yeah you have a point
seriously where are you from?
Europe?
justin.chd: dear friend i am agree with you but if you do link exchnage with your relevant sites and with good raking sites then your websites comes in top of ranking
dave: riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight
justin.chd: ya i am from uk
and you from
dave: I am from Belize City
justin.chd: ok fine
dave: lots of people from India have been coming along asking me to do link building or exchange links and they don't even know what kind of site I have or work with
to me, that hardly constitutes exchanging links with sites that have relevant content

I'm not gonna belabor the point cos you either get it or you don't...I'm not interested in exchanging links with you or anybody via Gtalk
so
I bid you adieu
