Default Is this the latest scam?....

How do you guys respond to a link request that has more than one link in the HTML code? You are supposed to copy and paste their code exactly. They want a link to the home page plus your sending three other links to their inner pages. I have noticed a few of these recently. It is like they want three or four links for one.

Actually it seems like a good idea! I could use a link to my home page + buyers page + sellers page + market analysis page!

What do you say to these people? Maybe I should create some code that has a similar number of links to my inner pages. Is this a new trend?

If the links that they wanted exchanged all point to one site, I tell them it's got to be an even trade. If you insist that I put mutiple links up for your site then I will want the same and just write some code that have links that point to multiple pages within my site.

Duh! Why didn't I think of that? I already(begrudgingly) took one of these multi-links without thinking of asking for the same. The other day I saw a link request where the guy's info was 1/4 of a page long! Give me a break...

I won't post a link with over 300 characters. Usually people trying to stuff keywords into the description.

My link is two links One home page and one inner page. I also have NO ISSUE doing the same for the link partner. I do not like LP's who request more because it looks ridiculous but I ask THEM to reformat their link, I do not do it for them. I just think that is common "link" courtesy.

I will sometmie accommodate this type of request if the page linking back to my site has very good PR.

I typically say it's a 1 for one deal, that way I dont have to argue over who gets how many links and where.

...but that's free content....that's not all links. It could help to make you link page more like a content page....especially if you post it towards the bottom.
