Thanks, I got something quite similar today as well. Directing to another website, but the bulk of the email was the same, including the students name. I'm glad I did some digging around before posting the link. I'm impressed how much work they are willing to put in for some free linking.

Glad you found the same thing. I gather it's not the "free" they're looking for so much as the higher traffic, legitimate and good reputation sites. That sort of thing you can't just buy, so they try and sneak it in.

They sent the same message to a member of our Quilt Guild board's to try to get onto our links page.
Seems it is such a small school that Cassandra Smith teaches home economics as well as science:-P

Glad you found the info! Looks like they already did get on "a" quilting board (once in a rabbit moon), and a civil war board too. Looks like Samantha's really busy this year! Reports on climate change, quilting, guns of the Civil War... wow ;)
