I looked at Arellis but it cannot do this.
cheers.
Not sure what your plan is but if you are not actually visiting the site that you are trying to swap links with to ensure it is actually a site that you would recommend, you are asking for trouble for 2 reasons.
What you are planning to do IS considered SPAM, even though many people debate the fact that it is because the Webmaster is inviting you to contact them about link swapping. However, it is clearly SPAM when you sell flags and you are contacting sites that sell water for a link swap.
The second reason is that if you use Arelis to starting building a links page to sites without checking out that sites content your visitors will eventually consider your site useless and stop coming back and/or remove a link from their site to yours. Nobody likes to go to a bar and get served watered down drinks, so don't water down your content with useless links.
You can use Arelis to better organize and manage your link exchange program and that is what it is intended for. It's definitely not a program for automating the content building process. You will be sorely disappointed if you try and use any software to build content. No software program can build content that humans find interesting. Concentrate on QAing your Arelis results so that you are building quality content, and the rest will take care of itself.
If your domain registrar is GoDaddy, be sure to move it somewhere else because it's been said that one spam complaint can cause them to charge you a lot to recover access to your domain.
When I find the same email sent to customer support, webmaster and sales I delete it right away, just because it shows me the webmaster has done absolutely no work to even view my site. If he / she is willing to arbitrarily link with any site, then this means the quality is just not there... (IMHO)
Like, what do you do if you solicit an anti-recip-email troll who explicitly states they don't want emails, who relishes destroying anyone who does?
It is because some website's link pages are full of quality sites I would like to use Arelis or similiar to actually visit these sites the same as it does now, just use the initial site's links page as a source of data.
Arelis is not too bad a program, it just does not quite do what I want it to do.
cheers.

Seen that and it ain't pretty. :)
This wouldn't solve the malicious scorn of those who pleasure themselves by attacking others, though -

All in all Arelis is not too bad for the price - anymore and it would not be worth the money, but for 100e it is OK - my two penneth.
For instance, it can find 1000 potential link partners for you in a fraction of the time it would take you to do it manually. Once it finds them, you have to manually check out the sites. You can click a button and delete it if the site doesn't fit your needs. You can also add it to your links page and also mark the status of your link request with the click of a button.
It's a time saver but it isn't a magic wand for high rankings.
Hope this helps.....
