It might be just superstition. post hoc ergo propter hoc
But not long after we all adopted cat recips, linklists started losing position in the google serps, a loss that has gotten way worse and shows no sign of repairing itself.
There are several/many possible explanations for this, the predictable artifice of the cat link only one of many.
In any event, the historical truth is, when cat links started, traffic to freesites fell.
Yes, maybe it was falling anyway and cat links were a LL owners attempt to recover. who can say.
