All of this is moot to me because I don't submit to Jay's XXX Links. His stupid requirement that I sign up under him at sponsor's is an atrocity! Get in the real world Jay. |fuckyou|

Forgot to add: What clicks LL owners 'lose' by surfers clicking from their LL to the freesite, to clicking on a recip of someone else's, wherever it may go, they get back from the other person's LL anyway. Assuming it's one of the bigger LLs.

1 month later, I'd still like to hear a legit answer to this question since I was not asking to be an asshole.

Actually, an A - B - C link trade is only good if it is an open fork. That means A and C should not link to each other at all or be connected in any other way than by B. But since xxxjay's link site and snizz share link to each other there is no benefit from it as the links built a closed circle.

In other words, it has no use in terms of SEO for xxxjay at all. At least that is my logic.

Thank you faxxaff |shake|

I didn't see the exact recips, but I assume they went so that A (the root, rather than the category page) didn't link to B (the freesite), in which case there is no closed circle. Like I say, I didn't see the recips, so I may be wrong :)

I already am seeing submitters playing with recip links lately

recip links that have aff codes in them

my biggest reject reason on the index of a free sites is: bind recip links to LL's

and total bind links to there hubs

also from reviwing galleries tgps have caught on to the blind keyword recip style of recip links

and I totally agree with greenie about the abuse factor that the a-b-c recip will start

Why is this fucking thread even still going? I even posted another thread saying that I had switched back to the vanilla recips, even though I still disagree with it being a real problem.

Jeez...can anyone even tell me why I waste money advertising here to a crowd of webmasters that clearly hates me beause me and greenie differ in opinion from time to time? We sqaused this shit in Vegas with 2 minutes and a handshake.

God damn sheep I tell you.

I only bumped it because I am honestly still looking for info on why this form of ABC is good.

I sorta understand what you're saying & trying to do, but I still can't grasp it the way that you're going about it.

And Jay is right - we both agreed that each had valid points & each was sorta right & shook hands - so I do hope that everyone knows this is mostly a discussion & even if I call Jay an asshole, I still respect him.

Haha, likewise.

Well, if people do hubs for all your freesites, I would highly reccomend trying and ABC on the root where you haven't submitted to linkslists, I think yu will be happy with the results.

:D
