I recall a thread when you talked about it with Tommy, and then started doing it.. and I was critical at the time.. When Jay posted he was doing it.. I explained why I thought it was bad too. BUT in both those cases (and Tommy) there is some justification for it in terms of link management and a belief your bookmark surfers will stay more loyal if they dont keep running across the same sites in your list. BUT I still think you guys are gaining advantage at all regular LinkLists expense... and are definitely hurting the linklist biz as a whole by doing it.
I am firmly behind the notion that I will run my own site exactly how I like.. and so can anyone else, so this isn't meant to say anyone is bad or not... just that in reality submitters thinking a LinkList is better or worse based purely on traffic numbers is generally wrong.... and that the more linklists there are that decide to drop good sites after 6 months.. the less "power" our system has overall..
I believe most of us are only successful, and stayed unbeatable in the engines becasue of the power we gave each other.. the more LinkLists that have a mindset that they dont want to link to "useless" freesites.. so I'll drop them and who cares what anyone else does.. the faster we all will dissapear.. in fact I think It's already happening.
Surfn's post also perfectly illustrates the problem for me as a linklist operator. If I take a site with my recip on a page with Link-O-Rama and Jays and Tommy's... in 6 months time I am Going To Be Penalised for the dangling link left on my site!
Does anyone else that does it want to put forward some positive reason for doing it?
