RE: whois requests and off topic requests ...

I consider it very poor taste to ask for a link or a link exchange if you have not looked at the site long enough to know what kind of sites it links to and if a add url is clearly shown on the page that leads to a email address different than the whois address. Requests for links that look spammy from the begining likely will always remain spammy.

Any honest website that wants a link from me would be better off if my email spam filter gets those requests. Exceptions for me include: my domain name changed please change the link, requests for links from pages that don't suggest how to have a link from that page (special content locations that may or may not already have external links), multible or site wide link exchange ideas. The i run a link exchange program, (i can send you traffic) if you exchange links with WhoKnewItsWasAWiget.com those requests should be trashed.

RE: request for a description, hell it takes me some time to put togeather a good description without getting good keywords for a search engines. If somebody wants to suggest as a starting point a description that can save me some time. But i agree if you say it should be suggested description.

My situation is different than yours, I am running a website in a field that plays white hat hard ball; any english that you get from links in search engines can not be ignored, the short fact of the matter is links=money.
