just been browsing a website I normally buy from and notice they've got an offer on at the moment for free disks.

if you provide a link to their website on your website they'll send you a free pack of cds or dvds

see here for more infor http://www.diskdepot.co.uk/acatalog/Free_Discs.html

I don't own a website myself so can't claim my free disks, but could be a good deal for those who do?

Many thanks to the OP.:)
I added their link to my website yesterday then emailed them with my details.
I got a package this morning delivered by Link which contained a spindle of 50
Datawrite Red 16x DVD-R Mach 4.
Fantastic, as I was running out of dvds but never expected to get 50 though.
Thumbs up to OP and DiskDepot

well I got two dvd+r discs throught the post today from the single offer (which funnilly enough are the same as the 50 pk I asked for!) AND coz I was at work, I missed the city link delivery man who I assume tried to delivery me my spindle of dvds!! I have just phoned them to rearrange delivery!

Well pleased....a great freebie!! :beer: :j :T

Excellent find. I blagged a 100 pack of CD's by saying I'd recommended them to my Procurement department at work as I'm in IT (which I've done to be fair!). Also gave them the link to my GooglePages (Very basic pages too). Here's the reply...

Hi there

Thanks for adding the link. I'll get these disks dispatched today for you.

Is that your Mini on the main page? I bought my girlfriend an 05 plate one
last March. It's black eye purple, not a convertible though. I keep meaning
to get 19" alloys for it, but never got round to getting a set.

The flip paint's quite nice, must have taken a log of guts to spray a nearly
new car?

cheers

Subject: Free Disks for providing links to your website.


I have been through your site and made my Procurement Department at work
aware of the reasonable prices. I currently work in IT.

I have also added a link to my own personal website, and was wondering if I
could claim the Datawrite White Inkjet Printable 52x CD-R 100 Pack so I
could test and give a glowing reference to our purchasing people.

My site is located here : address removed

You will find a link to yourselves on the initial frontpage, and then a
second one on my links page.

If this is deemed a viable request, could you please send the free disks to
:

Lovely job. Nice personal touch too.

I used myspace and got this reply:

Hi there

Thank you for your email.

Unfortunately we're not able to accept this link for our offer. Your site
has not been indexed by Google so the link won't count as a vote for our
site. I don't think your site will ever been indexed by Google as the
content is set to private meaning Google can't get access.

If the site does become indexed then please feel free to email us again and
we'll forward you some disks.

cheers

How do I get indexed?

28-06-2006, 4:24 PM
I think thats a lame kind of excuse meaninig they have already have had too many requests as i and many others have used myspace. Thay have probably cought on to people using it and are stopping the freebie offer - thoughts?

I dont think that is the case because it seems that they are doing this to build their google page rank. I think they only want quality sites. I have also got a symilar response when submiting my hi5 page.


Also the myspace page might have been new so it is not on google.

frestuffwooo
28-06-2006, 4:56 PM
HAHA i just checked their site, they have chnged it, now you have to amke sure that your site is indexed,

This means if your site returns results when searched on google eg:

Search MSE

Results:

1- Money saving expert........
2- Macedonian stock exchange
3- monetart saliva experts

And your site apperas in the results then it is indexed

IF this appears:

Sorry, no information is available for the URL *********

If the URL is valid, try visiting that web page by clicking on the following link: ************
Find web pages from the site ************
Find web pages that contain the term *************

This will be due to many of us using blogs and myspaces to take advantage, they only really want official websitres, but it doesnt mention what sort so presumably you could just set up a geocities or other free site on anyhthing, preferably on computers which may be what their looking for.

SO BE AWARE:

THIS NOW RULES OUT BLOGS AND MYSPACE AND JOURNALS

ONLY ACTUAL DOMAINS/SUBDOMAINS NOW WORK
