OneAndOneIs2

A while ago, I started getting emails from people asking if I'd be interested in making money out of putting text links on my site.

I never bothered to reply to any of them, since initially I thought that the total lack of adverts anywhere on my site would make it obvious that I wasn't interested in the first place - it's not like it's hard to get adwords installed, after all - and subsequently I ignored them because it got on my nerves how often I got "still haven't had a reply" emails.

I never kept paid particularly close attention, so it's only today, after I've had two in relatively quick succession and not bothered to delete either, that I notice they're coming from different people...

Hi,

I am writing to you again in case your spam filter ate my last email. I had written to you basically to offer a business deal. The deal namely is purchasing text-links on your site http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/. In case you have already thought over this, let me know of your views pronto.

Looking forward to your reply,
Regards,
Christan

Hi,
I am basically interested for business reasons. I had written to you about the offer a few days back. Perhaps you never got the mail in the first place. Anyhow, here is the deal. I found your site http://geekblog.oneandoneis2.org really enchanting and would like to buy a number of text-links on your site.

Let me know if you would like to hear more of this.
Best regards,
Brad.

Hmm.

Try as I might, I can't really consider this blog "enchanting" somehow. So.. is this a slightly more sophisticated way of getting emails for spam links - look up emails on websites, email the owner with what looks like a legit proposition, and then spam the confirmed email address without mercy - or just a very lacklustre attempt to get as many webmasters as possible to accept text links?

Doesn't make much difference either way - it's unwanted, unsolicited email that I therefore consider junk and don't reply to - but I'm vaguely curious. . .
