 Hi All


"we liked your site. we want our vistors to visit your site. we linked to
your site!
 
 have a nice day!

 www. insert site here.com
 "

is this approach any good? the idea is that the person youve contacted might be intrigued enough to look at the source of all these visitors hes suddenly getting and might even like the site hes seeing. he might want to reciprocate. 


a hands up who likes this idea would be great, but an unparanoid view on why this approach might be considered bad would be appreciated.
