None of those would have poisoned the well if they were used only to make relevant, well-targeted link requests.

How do you produce relevant well targeted link requests in an automation environment? No wait, don't answer that, what a can of worms that would be.

95% of the link requests I see come from a particular region in the world. "They" are responsible for the current link trend. Yes, I said it. I'm not going to name a specific country as we have many members here from that country. But, you know who the hell you are.

Personally, I'm sick of the whole link exchange business. It stinks from all angles no matter what way you look at it.

Next time someone sends me a link exchange request, I'm going to send them a picture of a chain link along with a listing in my Clueless SEO Directory with all the others.
