I can see it now, three galleries of 10 images each....|jester|

It started when Greenie and others made an attempt to reduce the number of "blind links" on the recip tables. (as per his comment above). Most of us edited the recips so that the links were no longer blind - although onlybestsex seems to feel blind links are ok and never fixed their recips.

Then without warning - and with about 30 of my completed FS's in their cue - onlybestsex changed their policy and started declining FS's that have link-o-rama recips on them - with want I assume were hundreds of freesites still in the cue. some 20 to 30 of those were mine.

I have no problem with an LL having a rule - or even changing it - but don't change it in mid-stream.

lol. Yeah, blind links suck....

Of course the first couple of sites I submitted to LOR got rejected since I just blindly (no pun intended) copied and pasted the recip from OnlyBestSex..... I was looking everywhere on my site looking for the blind link after I got the rejection email and never thought that it was from the recip....

Doh!!

You're not the only one - but at least Greenie and Kit posted on the forums and we all knew what was going on and they both gave us ways to work around the issue. In this case - the owner of onlybestsex has been less than forthcoming.

That's the difference between a professional businessman and a dickhead. :D

Why Greenie did not make list of all blind recips in that time?
Why it comes up only after several weeks/months?
He is pissing off submiters, changing rules every week.

I'm sure that there will be more such declains from him, seems like he enjoys it! He will wait while all submiters change their recip tables and then after some weeks will piss them again! |thumb

looking forward to it and have it written down in my calender

I agree with papagmp at least Greenie and Kit posted on the forums so everyone was in the loop about the sudden changes

Don't fucking blame GG for this mess.. or anyone else... It is entirely due to wanna be LinkLists looking to gain some advantage from YOUR free sites.

As has been said many times. A RECIP IS A RECIP! not a fucking blind link to help in an LL's bullshit SEO aims.

If Leon and others had just had recips like everyone else this problem would NEVER have arisen..

...But no... because of bullshit scams and those aiming to gain advantage thru deception and cross-linking BS! "We" have to be on the lookout continually for whoever is trying the next big trick...

As I have said many times.. these "keyword" recips do you no good.. they devalue YOUR page by making it a spammy entrance, and if you add mirrored entrances with the same bullshit.. then you are just shooting yourself in the foot..

DD

Please post what rules I've been changing & when I changed them. I'm sure everyone would like to know what you do, especially since I have no idea what you're talking about.

I think he made his point very clear about what type of recips would be accepted and what he considered to be blind. One would have to be a stupid fuck to not know what type of recip would be declined all this time later - and it's not his job to hunt through every other lists' recip links and categorize each as either blind or not. It's pretty damn simple: the recip must have the name of the link list within it. How hard is that to understand?

One recip for all categories |bananna|

Free pizza with each submit...

LOL - She must have broken some of his stuff and not be able to pay him back ;-)

|haha

Seems Leon is cleaning house I guess. He just dropped my link trade with him stating "my google placements are not as good as they were when the trade was set up".

Lame if you ask me. |bullshit|

You need to look thru the recips a little better - there's a "general" recip on there (as well as the images on page 2)

Maybe if you'd work a little more on improving your SEO skills Leon would not have to pull the links he has to your crappy sites |couch|

(yes, Leon is an ass)

The Good link lists are always upfront with their rules. They have played by those rules for years and don't screw around with HONEST freesite builders. I have yet see one of the Good link lists say you have to have x Google rating to be listed. True, sometimes you only get to be showcased for a month or two, but.. everyone who can read and respect the few simple rules gets a shot at being listed.

LLs that have tons of unwritten rules, or change them faster than women change their panties won't ever have the respect of the builders OR the surfers. I don't care what a search engine says, it is the quality and integrity of the site that attracts the traffic. GG, Smutgremlins, Tommy's, Richard's Realm, DangerDaves.. have been around and are respected by visitor and builder alike because they play fair, and post their rules up front.

Jerk around with the freesite builders and you will get crappy sites for your list. The good builders won't put up with your temper tantrums.

Dunno what he thinks he is accomplishing but i got the same lame email as you did Ramster - dropped our link trade because he doesnt like my google placement. I think Leon is just shooting himself in the foot.

Emerald & Ramster - can one of you start a thread about this? I have the feeling it'll get lost in the mess that is this thread & I'm sure others would like to know about their trading practices.

You can already do that, actually. LOR accepts sites with a single general recip :)

I wish I found this out last month, because I'd have added a "We do not list sites with adware.malware toolbars any more."

Radar Man: Bad news, the fog's getting thicker...
Johnny: (Leaps in from nowhere) And Leon's getting LAAAAAAAAARRRRGEEEEEEERRRRRRRR

Still makes me laugh out loud every time I hear it..

Stop calling me Shirley. :D

While I love all the gags in that movie, Johnny was by far the best part.

"Tell me everything that's happened so far, Johnny."
