I don’t know why all of a sudden people are emailing me for a link exchange but in the past two weeks I’ve received three requests all by people faking their PR. Today’s request the guy says he loves Netwoozy bla bla bla…. and wants to know if we can exchange links and he’ll place my link on the first page of a PR5 site.

Hm… let’s see… His site was created June 30th, 2010 and has a PR5?

Yah-Ah-huh… sure buddy, like I’m falling for THAT !

Remember, if you exchange links, always check the whois.net to see when the site was created. High PR from Google is not achieved overnight.  You can also check out their site directly. If it’s full of a bunch of non-related websites, you can be sure it’s a link farm.

Don’t fall for this keerap!

Link exchanges have been going on for a very long time. These days people are more interested in one way link exchanges as they are more beneficial. However, exchanging links with other sites is still beneficial.

The problem comes in when we are unaware of what type of website we are actually exchanging links with. I have created a video showing the steps I went through regarding an email request to exchange links with a PR5 website.

The website manager offered to place a link to Netwoozy from TWO PR5 websites. Watch the video to learn why I did NOT accept this offer. In addition I have included 3 free resources for you to add to your own personal resource files for when an opportunity for you to exchange links comes available.

In this video I reference Keyword Elite, software that helps you discover how many backlinks any website/blog has obtained. You can use the free resources to learn this as well. If you would like to learn more about Keyword Elite, click here.

I have also uploaded this video directly to my website. You can watch this video on Reciprical Link Exchanges (it is the same as above), click here.

Today I took a look at my ATT phone bill and noticed almost $60.00 in monthly mobile charges – MONTHLY charges that if not caught would continue to occur each and ever month.

Okay people what you need to do right now TODAY is to check your phone bill for these charges. In fact, better yet, pick up the phone and tell your phone company to search back three months and find these automated charges.

What are they? Get ready to get PO’d. You can now be charged for simply having a cell phone that companies that pull these scams can find. And everyones cell phone number is in full public view.

What are these charges? They are just charges from companies that sell you some stupid texting service that YOU DIDN’T OPT OUT OF. Yes, that’s what I said. You didn’t actually OPT OUT.

These companies can charge you a monthly fee just because they found your phone number and you didn’t say you didn’t want them to charge you.

I have received several text messages in the past few months that I ignored. They are stupid little texts that say stuff like, “The Earth is Round”. Or Tom Hanx is an actor.

Then, because you don’t specifically tell them not to charge you for texting them, they can bill you every month on your phone bill.

I can’t believe this is legal!!!!

PLEASE EMAIL EVERYONE you know and tell them to call the phone company to check their mobile phone charged.

I had 2 monthly ongoing services charges of $9.99 a month and one charge for $39.00 per month. I caught it this month and ATT went back three months to find they had charged me last month too.

You can call ATT or whomever you get billed from and tell them to block all charged from your phone. You will get a PIN number so you can specify which things you actually want, like a new ringtone etc…

However, you now will need to check each and every month because it will not totally block out everything. You can still be charged.

I am shocked that this is legal.

PLEASE EMAIL EVERYONE. I think everyone needs to call the phone companies and waste their time so that THEY step up to the plate and scream to get a law passed to get this crap stopped.

You can also have your phone number taken off the telemarketing list:

It won’t block everything, but it helps.

The ATT rep told me he had just helped a lady removed $900.00 of her bill from 3 months of this activity. Why people don’t check their phone bills more often, I don’t know, but this should be illegal.
