Dear Sir/Madam, In                                        response to your link                              request: NO. Let me be absolutely clear:
we do not accept sponsored                                content, guest posts,                        backlink insertions, "mutually beneficial partnerships,"
"collaboration opportunities,"                            or any other euphemism                   for what is essentially the same request. I understand you're
"reaching out" because you've                             "been following our                    blog for some time" and are "impressed with our content quality"
even though you've clearly never                          read a single article               we've published. Your "high-quality, SEO-optimized content" that is
"relevant to our audience" is,                            in reality, thinly                veiled advertising that would erode the trust we've built with our actual
readers. As the kids say these days:                      We don't do that here.          Our website exists to provide                     value to our audience, not
to boost your domain authority.                           Each piece of content          we publish undergoes our                             rigorous editorial review 
to ensure it meets our standards for                      quality and relevance.       Inserting your random ass                                backlink to "increase our visibility" would be like putting a                       billboard for vacuum        cleaners in the middle of                                  a fine dining restaurant – inappropriate and unwelcome. While I                      appreciate the hustle      (really, I do), please                                        understand that the 37th identical email this week offering a                      "unique opportunity"       isn't unique at all.                                           It's the equivalent of 
those door-to-door  salespeople who refuse                to take a damn hint.      Insert "That's gonna                                             be a no from me, dawg"  
meme. Furthermore,     our publication follows            Google's guidelines       regarding link schemes.                                          We're not interested in participating in         arrangements that could          potentially harm our      search rankings and or                                           reputation – a risk we're   unwilling to take         for any amount of money         you're about to say       in your follow-up email.                                         I don't care for your $50 *cringe* If you did        genuinely enjoy our blogs      and believe your own      resources would provide                                          substantial value to our readers, here is a          radical idea: How about you   create genuinely out      standing content on your                                         own website. That great content naturally             attracts attention and earns backlinks by itself.     "Wait, that's illegal"                                           Please note that future emails regarding any             sponsored content, guest posts with backlinks,      or similar link-building                                       proposals will be added    
to spam and then                   filtered faster than you can say "Domain          Authority." Thank you for                                      your understanding and   
I wish you success                  in your marketing efforts with better, more       transparent and content                                       focused approaches. To summarize our policy                  One more time, for those in the back -          Your backlink requests?                                     "Ain't nobody got time       for that" You want                      to guest post? "That's not how this            works, that's not how any                                 of this works". "Those  
mutually beneficial                      partnerships"? "X to doubt" Regards,          The Editorial Team who is                             tired of these emails P.S.      
This is a standard                         response to all link request emails.          You are not special.  We                         receive dozens daily and have
automated this reply.                           Please respect our policy and              refrain from sending follow-up               messages about this matter.            
And no, pls no adding                           "Re: Re: Re:" to the subject                line won't change our answer. Promise.  P.P.S. If you're a real human 
reading this (and                                  not an AI), I hope this at                  least gave you a chuckle. No hard feelings, it was literally my 
job at one point, to                                 do exactly what you are                       doing. Sending emails to companies with a blog we want a 
backlink on. Do you                                    have a list? How many                           emails have you sent today? I hope you're not doing
them all manually.                                       It's gets better tho.                               Maybe one day, you'll be running a site
Like me. Where my                                          inbox is full from                                   the people asking the same thing.
