Downside To Ranking High In The SERPS

Believe it or not I have actually found a downside to ranking high in the SERPS, SPAM.

The normal spam doesn't get to me that much it's the spam from webmasters that think I am dumb enough to fall for their "scams"

Below is an email with replies I sent an email I received from some guy wanting to start a new website.

"Hello Daniel,

My Name is EDITED

I am launching an Internet Business website in about 6 months.

Currently I am creating a Panel of Experts on the Internet Business and Marketing
subjects. I would like to inquire about obtaining FRESH uncirculated quality Internet business content from you every week for the site.

The home page will contain a summary of your article and a link for visitors to \"ReadMore\".

WhatS in it for you?

Once the visitor is inside he /she will continue to read the rest of the article. And at the end of it, your bio summary will appear along with your link. You will benefit from exposure to my visitors on a daily basis.

Would you consider joint opportunity like this where we both benefit from the traffic?

Please send me your remarks.

Thanks."

My reply

"Hello EDITED,

What would make me want to send you unique content for your website instead of putting on my website? I don't really get it, you would get the unique content and traffic from it and I may get a couple visitors through my bio.

So again why not just add the content to my own website and receive all the traffic?

Also do you have any examples of your past projects or websites I can check out?

Best Regards,
Daniel"

"Hello Again Daniel,

Pardon me and thanks for your input. The list of Panel of Expert
continues to grow for me. I wrote to you wondering if you would like to
benefit from my traffic.

But it seems that probably emailed the wrong "expert".

It is with great joy that I wish the best.

Cordially
EDITED"

"If you were legit you could at least give me an example of your websites. My questions was not unreasonable I am still waiting to hear why it would be better for me to give you unique content for your website instead of putting it on mine.

I think I found the reason you don't want to show me one of your websites.

I'd like to see you prove me wrong though...

Thanks,
Daniel"

"Hello once again Mr. Millions,

My proposal was just for content and the ability to work together.
Although your questions was not unreasonable, I feel I have no
obligation to bare my soul to you. If you did not want to participate
in JV, you have expressed it and it was respected. End of story.

But...

What I do not comprehend is the fact that another email from you, found
it's way to my inbox. It's like you are so offended of the offer that
you want to pick a fight.

I am a professional. Please, I ask that this be our last encounter.
As I have no time to squabble in childish babbles. I have to answer other more important successful emails I sent out
before yours.

And again,
I hope that you can proper in your business.
Respectfully
Bert Perez

"I am just asking a very simple question.

1. Why would I create unique content for your website and not my own?

We both know that adding unique content to my own website would drive me more traffic
than adding it to yours and getting clicks through a bio. I am trying to see what the
upside to this deal is for me, that's all.

I am not looking for a fight but you run around the question and do not answer it. I
would not be replying and asking if I was not interested.

Thanks,
Daniel"

No Repy Back...

Basically this guy wants me to create unique content for his website for free and I get a backlink out of it? That sounds like a great deal for me, let me write you a new article every single week and in return I get one backlink in my bio.

But in the end it looks like you MR. EDITED created unique content for me, right here on my blog.

Thanks!
