docholly - they're now officially gone from my LL
Since I tend to think about SEs quite a bit I realized that Google is looking at these recips and just basically ignoring all of the text - it is a waste of time for both me and my submitters - and the effect from the little gifs I have is so much better for branding and recognition
Of course the effect that it had on the whole LL community with every little LL wanting to get in the action was way out of line with common sense SE positioning - the internal linking you get from these cat recips is totally negated by the text being more than 2 or 3 words - at least thats the effect I saw and I've got a sneaky feeling that Google might actually be filtering the links as junk
