He actually sent me an excel sheet with all of his link wheel domains... all PR 1/2. Is anyone really stupid enough to go for something like this? I hoped post-penguin would wipe out this kind of activity!

I've noticed loads of this since Penguin, I think their hope is to catch out as many people as possible until folks catch on that it really doesn't work anymore and does more harm than good.

Unfortunately while there are people out there who don't understand the right way to do things there will always be someone trying to make money from the wrong way to do it.
