I am geographically impaired!

[LipshtickLady]

So yes I cannot get anyplace with out map, and I am fearful my usual sense of confusion has carried over to here.

I made a link request for

my site A - which is aged and not bad to another users site Z - which is very nice and in same niche (probably was a bit out of depth - but still getting the feel)

now I thought what would come back is yes will do that link above and you please do this one to my site Y from your site C or no denied.

right?

but what I got back was -

please link from

your site A to my site Y (which is a really great site)

and

in return my link directory/subdomain that is not in same niche will link to one of sites.



so I am not debating the merits of the trade

but question confusion is - if someone requests a trade, then can other user just toss that concept and say now how about these two total separate concepts?

[Relentless]

1) You made an offer...
An offer they apparently did not like for whatever reason.

2) They made a counteroffer
A counteroffer you did not like for whatever reason

3) No deal was made.

That seems pretty normal to me....
Lots of no-deals will happen, just brush them off and get back to work.
It's the deals that get made which matter, not the deals that don't.

I must be completely confused now - I cannot find "counter offer" anywhere?

What does any of this have to do with geography?
