What Pisses You Off With Link Lists & Free Sites?

[Linkster]

I would love to open up my submissions to everyone - I had the opportunity to check some of the submits that normally go straight to the trash bin that I never see today - and as usual there were the batches of group submitters and paid submitters that have been around forever although I see their number has increased amazingly.

I also noted some of my regular submitters(including at least one that has posted in this thread) have gone to autosubmitting without checking their work - damn shame that they got sucked into that game.

As a LL owner I would love to see category recips go completely away - they have no value any more in my eyes as the SEs certainly dont give any value to recips any more - and the only value to even having a recip at all is the little trickle of traffic that free sites send to the LL occasionally (those 1 hit every 3 days actually do add up over time) - but then that is something I will bring up in talking with other LLs.

The only reservations I have with Iframing and JS is the percentage of people that misused it when we did allow them - they are great for ads - but unfortunately they are so easy to fuck the surfers with - and that doesnt do anyone any good.

I have allowed the html pages for images in the past with one banner as Ive always felt it was better conversions and better for the SEs
Consoles on the other hand are again something that I just cant see happening on free sites - again its a surfer trust issue.
Someone mentioned the sponsors consoles - I guess there are some of us that still do check the links going out of the free sites for screwed up console chains and surfer tricks - and there are some LL owners that have bans on specific sponsors because of that - its an issue that a free site builder has to deal with when comparing listings and traffic to conversions.

Amen to that If anything, I feel it's detrimental to both parties having that straight A>B B>A link trade.

Personal LL gripes:

I don't really have any tbh. It's a simple part of the business, though the only thing I'd be pleased to see is some slight relaxation on what is considered a blind text link. And even that is only because I had to say something
