ISGG tried to bribe me

I just got a call from a company called ISGG in Israel offering me money to put a link on my page without acknowledging it as paid advertising. I wasn't clever enough to ask him for what company and how much they're willing to pay before saying no.

Damn!

Anyway, be on the lookout. Bribing people to put links on their page as if they really meant them is a bad thing. If you want to know why, pay me $5.

Come on Mike, he has higher standards than that.

Pssst David you want an HP laptop fast? ;)

Funny you mention that. I'm just sending in my daughter's HP laptop for the third repair in 6 months. As far as I can tell, it's a POS. So, thanks anyway, Thomas; you'll have to earn your link the old fashioned way. (You too, Mike.)

Any other hints you can give that will help me track them?

We need to find the company name. Then we could get the technorati cosmos of all the bloggers linking to them and make a sold out bloggers page. ;-)
