The Dumbest Affiliate Request Ever?

By Martin Kelly, Editor, Search Engine Room

I HAVE  a couple of websites and, like everyone, get crap through my inbox all the time, but rarely is it as silly as the following.

Hi, I  liked your site  www.traveltrends.biz. being both Hebrew related sites  I was hoping we could collaborate and help you increase your monthly incomes... I invite you to earn a share of the revenues, generated from your referrals, by driving traffic to HebrewOnline.com. Looking forward to hear from you…

Best Regards,
