First sign of spam is: I'll keep the web address confidential and will send it to you only if you give me permission to do so. I wonder about this sometimes. Why don't they want to give you the link? Something Google may see and find bad?

First sign of violating Googles rules: Crosslinking terms in the email. Hmmmmm seems there one of those Bad SEO Practice businesses. Maybe SEO Guy know's about this since they are also in B.C.

I see them no where in Google. I see no information when I do a Google search on ...ww.link-builder.com. Comes with Sorry, no information is available for the URL ...ww.link-builder.com. Maybe they just don't want to be in google but my feeling is they have been penalized by Google.

So anyone have any input?

If you reply they send the address and you decide if you want to exchange links. Its an actual company with people working there, I have replied before and have a few links from them in this manner.

Strange that their site is down and working, must be a problem, that I am not sure of.

Sorry Joc. I did not know how to remove links in this forum. I thought just get rid of URL Tags but they came back.

I know, I tried that too... lol ... and don't be sorry, no harm was done.
Found the ...ww.name.com to be obvious enough for the reader while not triggering the auto link feature making a link for the site.

Yep I've exchanged links with them before too, it went smoothly.
