I've just received the following email. These emails attempt to create linkspam. Search engines penalise linkspam.

BEGINS
Hi I`m Adam Davies from comparecarhire.co.uk. We are one of the leading car hire comparators on the web searching over 40 car hire suppliers finding consumers the best deal. .

I am looking for partners that complement our site and iomfats.org seems a good fit. We can either:-

1) Exchange links with you (we don`t have a links page - we link from relevant content pages on comparecarhire.co.uk which we will explain when you reply).

- OR -

2) Our team have been working hard creating content on our own site and we wondered if you would be interested in some unique, free of charge content written for you to publish on iomfats.org.

Our editors cover a wide range of subjects and can quickly agree a subject with you and write specifically for you - you will have full editorial control and it definitely won`t be a sales pitch for us.

All we would ask is that you allow us to include one simple text link back to comparecarhire.co.uk towards the end of the content which will hopefully be found by the search engines in the longer term - which is how we would benefit.

Please let me know your thoughts.

Kind Regards - Adam Davies
Webmaster, http://www.comparecarhire.co.uk
ENDS

I've emailed him back:

"Now that is interesting. Please tell me with some precision how our sites complement each other?"

Are you as curious as I am about his reply?

If we were to suggest option 2, what topic should his editors cover?
