From a historical basis and some good guessing at page rank since there is no reliable indicator anymore, I would say that I havent had a free site autosubmitted that would give any search engine benefit in at least 5 years that Ive been watching for the autosubmitters. I also dont have any anchor text on my recips as I only use request a link to the index page and dont use category recips anymore as they obviously had no effect on search engine placement (ranking) and were discontinued over a year ago. I would go so far as to say that the recip links on free sites have a miniscule effect on ranking (if any) and therefore I have very little concern for that line of reasoning 
As far as the 2 hits a month - again - that would only apply to free sites that actually got listed on other LLs as well - something that usually doesnt happen - and if those two hits produce anything - well Ill just keep it thank you
This is a discussion that we have on this board probably every 6 months although the recip question probably was discussed here rather recently and it gets old - but just like anything that people are misled into believing it just wont go away |
Just to avoid that someone get's the idea I'm defending autosubmitters here, I'm only using manual submission since years, even on TGPs and MGPs, and I do that cause I know how easy it is to fuck up an autosubmitter. So I completely understand the ban of autosubmitters from LinkLists.
BUT, if you say "Best I can tell, most LLs dont list autosubmitted sites" I'd suggest you buy a subscription for an manual submission tool or autosubmitter yourself, just to get an idea how they work. Most (all) of them just load your submission page in Internet Explorer, and sends the form like any human being, so there's no way to detect an autosubmission (as long as the submitting webmaster doesn't fuck up the submission all the time). And I bet you that most LinkList owners (including yourself) list much more autosubmitted Freesites than they'd expect.
The Recip Thingie is something different, I actually see them as a valuable tool for SEO, but that's just my personal opinion.
