roccos at this porn.com?

[AcidMaX]

Anyone know this guy? I have been getting into email wars with him because it seems like he is just spamming every email address I have with link trades.

Last week it was a trade with gaypervs.com and wild-girls-tgp or something (which doesnt make sense) then he sends me an email about a site that is nothing but a feeder site and not even a tgp and wants to do a trade with me.

Anyone know this guy? Is he even remotely legit? Every email I get is verbatim, then when I ask him to stop emailing me he says he doesn't appreciate the way I told him to take me off his fucking list (those were my words after about 12 emails for link trades from this guy).

Let me know.

While I have no idea who he is, anyone with a nickname of "Rocco" should probably be avoided

[Bill]

He's from outside any of the circles I know.

I did a test link with him just to see how it went- he claimed he couldn't change the text of the link afterwards because "the script wouldn't let him".

Yeah, right.

Anyway, just block his email if you don't want any more of his harvested emails. He's using one of the shareware link-harvesting scripts that spiders domains.

[AcidMaX]

That's what I thought I started blocking him today.

Thanks.

Hi,

My name is Rocco.

I'm interested in exchanging permanent hardlinks

and some of my sites:

http://www.wild-girls-tgp.com/
http://www.gay-sex-men.net/

... and some more.

I have most niches and subniches covered and I also do trades with low traffic and new sites as long as they are related.

For contacting people regarding new trades I am using:

roccos@********.com

You can contact me regarding hardlink trades:

roccos@********.com (email is preferred)
ICQ:165788762


I am permanently looking for interesting trades myself and I am not too shy to contact people. If you use different email addresses on your sites and in your whois info then I am sorry if you receive several emails. This does not seem to be a big deal as I am always using roccos@********.com which easily can be deleted or banned. However, I cannot take email addresses off of my list because there is no list.

[Surfn]

Hmm, unsolicited email from an unknown source...trashed here!

[Greenguy]

I have to admit, at 1st I thought Rocco's post was a joke (one of you guys pulling everyone's leg & registering another account) but his IP is unique to the board, so I guess he's just as dumb as we all thought

Good luck, you will never get a trade with me and I think you just ruined any chances for trades with quite a few other people on this board. /ignore roccos@********.com

No one could fake that kind of stupidity.

[Bill]

I thought it was a joke too, altho I told the guy in email that he should read and introduce himself to webmaster boards, and mentioned GG&J.

I figure he's inexperienced, and that possibly this isn't his best language, so he doesn't realize that he's making a mistake by doing what he is doing.

[amadman]

Got an email from this guy now to.

Wanting to trade with his site http://www.freepornlogin.com/

Looks like he is trading with some known list and does have a handful of trade related post on here.

So Is there anyone that does trust and is trading with this guy?

I'd like to vouch for Rocco.. he was never stupid.. just over zealous, ill informed and a non-native english speaker.

Rocco has a good understanding of what makes a good link trade, what makes a good site and can spot a scammer or spammer from 30,000 miles away. He is now also much better at dealing with people and understand's that link trading is sometimes a pain in the ass sideline issue for many webmasters and is not all that is needed to make a site a success.


I have to be honest and say he pissed me off at first with his endless follow up emails about links he wanted... and I know it pissed a lot of other people off as we spoke about him on ICQ... One thing most of us agreed upon though, was that Rocco was the most organised of all the psychotic link traders that popped up in 2004...

Anyway, I have partnered with Rocco to look after trades on all my domains as well as his (and maybe a couple of other people's too) He wont be asking anyone for link trades 99% of the time, he wont be sending follow up emails or chasing people.. but he will be monitoring everything just as closely as before and be able to see who is worth trading with on other sites. If you setup a trade with Rocco, you should be fairly sure you are not linking to any type of cheater and getting a better than fair trade every time.


I hope that anyone that has had a bad experience with Rocco in the past will consider giving him a second chance.. and if you still don't like the "new Rocco" you can come to me and bitch and even blame me.. I have a lot of faith that wont happen.


We are actually not quite ready to announce this yet... but in future, if you are looking for an Index/Category/Webmaster page linktrade on any of my domains including;

http://www.**************.com
http://www.1gayporn.com
http://www.sleekssickestporn.com

please email Rocco at linktrades 'at' indycash.com

[amadman]

Thanks stuveltje and Opti.

I will go ahead and try a trade with him then.

[plateman]

yeah been getting the same and been pissed he used my isp email when my wemasterat works and a few others have asked for link trades on this board and been kinda busy getting my stuff straight from a server change.. So I'll get back to them.

[Cohiba]

Hi guys,
I know Rocco and he is a very good guy. I have many hard link trades with him. He even warns me if there is a problem in my sites! I think you can trust him!

[jennym]

I agree with Opti. I have had trades with Rocco for a while now, and haven't had any problems.

As for his "over zealousness", I just attribute that to someone who was at least trying to work his site.

[Mishi]

I recently did a link exchange with Rocco and he was a pleasure to work with. If he's the same guy from May, he's learned a lot.

[Mateusz]

I've been trading with Rocco for a while too and have to say only good words.

Maybe he travels with "Tony"

[DangerDave]

I would never swap links with this person.... NOR with anyone that swaps links with him.

I am very surprised at some of the endorsements he has recieved in this thread.

WOW

There probably occured some misunderstanding... at least I can say for myslelf...
I'm not excusing his activity and if I got spammed with 12 mails probably would be pissed too. But so far all trades I set with Rocco were arranged thru boards so thats the reason why I said what I said.
Of course spaming sucks |raygun|

[Jim]

I have never done business with him but...if he does harvest emails and spam, I don't think I would want to either. That is more than being overzealous.

[plateman]

well I havent traded with him because I dont approve of his contact scheme and IMHO he is using the board to build his link popularity up and not give anything back... IMHO - Now if such a person posted other than link trades that would be a differnt story..

there was a question in this thread if someone knows the guy, i only could say, yes i know him and i swapped with him, i never received email spam from him, and i also dont know what happend before, i only found out in this thread about the email spam, but i never had problems with him. I can understand the people who did got spammed.But it seems he learned alot lately because webmasters do swap links with him.
