Default Blog related -- does this sound legit?

I got the following post on my blog, which was quite flattering. However, my blog isn't that great so I'm a bit skeptical. Ok, a LOT skeptical. What do you think about this message:
Hi Joan, I'm Annie Alba, the director of Blogotion, a new high quality blogs directory. I was reading some entries of your blog "Paperlicious" and I find it really interesting. We will be following your work in this blog, because it is a serious candidate to be included amog the 250 most important blogs of this year.

Is this some type of marketing thing to get me to go to her website or what??? :confused: :confused:

it looks like they would like you to use their link on your site, but I don't know exactly what they offering.

Maybe some other ladies can help

Not sure what they are promoting, but I've gotten a few of these from different blog directories and I usually ignore them. They usually want to get your attention so you will "buy" a better position in their directory or something.

Well, I have little blog experience but I agree with Michelle. It looks like they are trying to get you to buy something. Just be wary.

Joan,
I have no blog experience, but this reminds me of the time years ago, when I was approached about being in some Who's Who of Upcoming Business People or something like that. All I needed to do was place an order for the book for about $100! Needless to say, I didn't end up in the book -

Joan, I just went to the blog that was sent to you. I agree with Michelle. Just keep an eye out and see if they contact you again with more information.

Just wondering if you ever heard from this company again? Any update to share?
