What % / amount of links went 404 in the last 30 days due to 2257?

[xxxjay]

Me almost 1000 links. 10% of my total.

Anyone else?

[swedguy]

I haven't really kept track, but I'd say 5+%

[stuveltje]

i am running bots now thru the different linksites i review, i can say it are alot at wlfp it will be about 2000+ or so the rest me still checking, i will be so fucking busy the next days

We were removing 150-300 sites a day before 2257 & aside from the 22nd-24th it was average.

[Cleo]

3000+ links gone here in the last month.

I was talking to my porn connoisseur neighbor yesterday and he asked me if there was something up because he noticed that there was a lots less porn and some of his favorite sites had disappeared. So I told him about the 2257 stuff.

I just looked at the Link Bot totals for shits & giggles:

Total links on May 15th - 13905
Total links on June 24th - 13645

Not that much of a change.

I removed about 550/10% here, unfortunately lots of great sites from good submitters.

[Ramster]

I removed a lot as well. Maybe not quite 10% but I'd say about 500+ links.

I removed a good pile, but many of them were from regular long term submitters who seem to have moved on. I wouldn't say 10%, but it has certainly been a pile.

More concerning to me is the number of sites I have found with the index and main pages intact and the galleries removed. That is just a dishonest way to do things.

I haven't found any of those yet, but I haven't done my manual reindex (which is the only thing that will sort out all the mess). Got any submitter emails/domain's you'd be willing to share?

[Linkster]

Im removing in the neighborhood of 2-300 per day - about 3500 down in the last week - I also have noticed a bunch where the bot is reporting ok - but the inside of the sites is down - with placeholder pages to fool the bots - so Im in the middle of a full manual review of all links.

I also thought it appropriate that most free site submitters should know that at least us and a few of the other major LLs out there - if the bot finds a 404 or 302 - which is fine as we posted before - the usual approach is to have the bot remove all of the sites on that domain - might be kinda hurting people that are submitting again and still taking down old sites now

Well, Fuck. Just...fuck. I had to delete a couple sites from my primary free site domain and now, looking back at the listings, I see that dozens of sites that are still up have been deleted. I had no idea that was the policy for so many of the big LLs.

Thanks for mentioning that, linkster, time to warm up for some resubmitting

We've removed about 1200 sites - that's approx 12%

That's just gotta suck big time....hopefully you can get your sites back again and to others. I know for us, I've removed less than 100 but made sure those sites were absolutely non-functioning. For the regular webmaster submitters, I've asked them to give me an update on what sites they were changing or removing so I would not accidently remove the wrong ones...

Looks like everyone has lost some number of sites....

[Vivaldi]

Around 10% here as well ... & I don't have the nerv jet to start manual checking :-(
