    What are your views, please?

    What are people's views about other sites using your guestbook as a way to advertise their unrelated site?

    I must admit I am fed up to the back teeth by the number of emails I get trying to sell me a fake watch, so may be biased, but I was none too pleased when one of these folks left a message on my guestbook telling me how wonderful my site was, and inviting my visitors to take a look at theirs!

    How do others deal with this? Do you remove the entry, or leave it as it compliments your site?

    I will be interested to hear your views.

    Cheers
    Trish

    These are just people spamming your guest book, I would delete them. This
    is a very common and sleazy practice.

        I agree with ***** and Peter - I'd delete it. The reason they start by complimenting your site is so you'll think twice before removing their post(s).

          Thanks all - obviously I'm gullible as the ploy nearly worked with me. I have now deleted the entries - compliments and all!
