A>B>C Recips for linklists?
 

I've been playing around with making the recips for free sites listed go to
:

33.3% Back To Jays
33.3% To Snizzshare
33.3% To Other sites I have in my network

I want people opinion? Is this bad? SE wise it should help because it is widely known that straight recips can lead to penelty.

What do you guys think?

Jay

That will probably not help you at all. Building a quality site will..

I've seen a lot of LL owners (especially big ones) rejecting free sites for having their recips along with others that are not linking to a LL (for example Snizzshare).

I think that is pretty bad for the business.

I agree! Jay, I used to submit free sites to you but stopped when you started adding links into your recip tables to snizzshare. I suspect many others did as well. As a link list owner, I reject people's sites for including recips that have links to non-link lists on their sites.

I'm not sure what you're saying here JD. It's bad for business when LL reject freesites with ABC recips, or it's bad for business for FS builders to use those types of recips.

Personally, I think the traditional LL model is in the shitter right now (at least compared to what it used to be), and I wonder why every time someone comes up with a new idea a lot of folks dig in their heels.

I think Jay's idea has merit, and should be explored.

It's bad for both ! It's bad for free site submitters when their sites get rejected and it's bad for LL owners when free site submitters stop using ABC recips because of the rejections.

I don't work with recips to sites other than the LL for the reasons mentioned above (rejection by other LL's). I don't think it's a bad idea, SEO-wise though. It's probably better than the current model.

...that redirect to Snizz Share |couch|

I'm rejecting sites that I see linking to non-link-lists in their recips, seeing as the recips are there as a way of linking back to the link list that you have submitted to.

Don't even think this is a tube site thing - it's a non-link-list thing - what the other site is is irrelevant.

For the LL owners that are rejecting freesites with ABC recips because other LL are rejecting them, I assume the reason for that is your not seeing any benefit (other than providing content to your surfers) from them, like link juice or traffic.

Is this correct?

There is another aspect to all this & I'll be completely honest with it: the 1st time I saw a Jay's recip linked to Snizz Share instead of his link list, I thought it was a shady way to get traffic & links to Snizz Share. It's not like he came here & started a thread & said this is what he wanted to do & ABC & whatever. They just started to pop up when I was reviewing.

I also wondered how long it'd take for a big link list to add paysite link codes to their recips.

If other Link Lists want to accept them, then so be it. But I see it as another "slippery slope" that I don't want to tread on.

I too think that a link list's reciprocal link should be a direct reciprocal link and not a link to some other site. I can't argue the SE benefit of that type of linking and we all know that Jay is a respected SE strategist - but I really don't feel that recip links are the proper place to push traffic or link juice to our other properties.

For me as a FS builder, the problem is getting my sites declined at the big-traffic LL's because there are non-LL links in the recip.

As an LL owner, it's trying to keep track of the mess. Why should I send traffic to site B if site B lists no sites with links back to me? And how the hell would I know if site B links to site C and site C has links back to me? Fuck, I'm confused already |loony|

I know nothing about SEO all I know is I can't submit to Jay's any more because of your change in recips. and I miss the traffic you used to send.

If it doesn't link back to the listing site it's not technically a reciprocal. I'm not against thinking outside the box, but here I definitely see the slippery slope argument.

Jay,

Are you declining FS that use a custom recip? For example, instead of the snizzshare recip, using a textlink to Jays frontpage on top and a category link on bottom.

Thanks man, I doubt there is anyone that can say they are doing better now than they were 5 years ago. You have to shake things up once in a while.

Does everything have to stay in 1999? The rest of the internet has moved on and evolved. I still pay a reviewer more than enough so other people get free traffic.

Snizzshare is a 100% legit (abliet fake) "tube" site, it damn sure is no Redtube or Tube 8. After some surfer sees pornhub.com do you think they will every go back to a linklist again?

That all aside, the linking methods we use worked great 5 years ago, but Google is hip to recip linking and it will actually hurt you. Don't believe me, read up:

Hell just look "Google Repicolal Linking":
http://www.google.com/search?sourcei...procal+linking

Why do we insist on sticking to a method that just dooms up to failure?

That's the one thing that really frustrates me with this who linklist game is most people refusal to evolve.

Just so nobody gets their panties in a wad I am re-doing my link tables this week back to just normal recips.

They will if they're running decent antvirus/spyware/addware/malware software - every one of those fuckers is propagating addware and/or malware.

LOL...when I want to crank one off to I use pornhub.com all the time and nothing happens. Same with tube8 and redtube

Top post xxxJay, that is one of the reasons I spend more and more of my time building 'free sites' that will never go anywhere near a linklist.

1999? Hell, in 97, I asked people to link to my site & I'd do the same to theirs. I don't even think the Google guys knew about Google back then :D

What gets me... is this constant haranging about "refusal to evolve", "how resistant the old guard is to change"

If "you" want to evolve... go fucking evolve..

.. but don't come here telling everyone that "we" are 'old school', or 'out of touch', or 'refuse to change'.


As has been mentioned.. we HAVE been here, doing this, since before 1997 and guess what we are still here.


Maybe we would have retired already if we had a dollar for every "new idea" that came along and then failed dismally, or disappeared - like the fad it was - in just a few months.

"We" don't always get it right, and we don't always lead the world in innovation....

BUT! "WE" have been making sure
for a fucking long time now.. and guess what "WE" still do... and I imagine in a few more years time "WE" will still be supplying traffic.


So if you want to go change shit.. go do it.. but don't forget the one rule that has existed almost since the beginning..

It is "OUR" Lists and "WE" make the rules for "OUR" Lists.... dont like them.. dont submit.. it is that simple

Anyone ever tell you that you look sexy when you're angry?

Help me out with something - with the ABC link trades, the way Jay has it, Jay is A, the free site is B & SnizzShare is C - right?

How is this supposed to help who out as far as SE's? And who is it supposed to help - A, B or C?

Angry..... Moi?

ABC link trades are supposed to be a way to get around the alleged negative impact of direct reciprocal link trades. I couldn't say whether there was/is any benefit to such linking. It's always sounded so silly to me. ;) It's not as if the SEs are blind to the relationships formed between different domains anyway. "Let's say the zeros and ones in Cass' camera help you hear my father's word." (John From Cincinnati) And let's say that the zeros and ones in Google's algorithm are just as all-seeing, all-knowing.

Links to other sites within a recip have always been one of my pet peeves. Bookmark Links' recip has a second link to a review site and that bugs the shit out of me. Some of Ne*Dee's recips link directly to sales pages on the site instead of category pages. That bugs me too.
