They should stop by a few link lists

This is why I'm glad I got in the game when I did. Back then, a trade was a trade. No blind linking. No hit bots. No crap traffic. I pop your link up, you pop mine up.
And remember how productive everything was guys?!?! Time were good back then.
Then about 2 1/2-3 years ago, everything started changing. All these shitty sites started popping up all over. Blind links everywhere. Redirects. Click a link and get endless pop ups. Cheaters came in droves and starting opening up site after site after site. And what happened? Signups started dropping. Ratios fell. Productivity fell. People became afraid to click anything.
And in the middle of all that, I held true to the no blindlink rule for drbizzaro.com and it's worked out very well for me. I think my surfers trust my site, so they can click on everything.
Only in the last year did I start letting these big CJ sites link to me.
The reason? Bookmarkers! I used to get about 20,000 new people bookmarking the site every month previous to that. Now I get about 100,000 - 120,000 new bookmarkers every month. I contribute it to all the CJ sites that send me traffic. You push them here and there and back again. Then you push them to me and I'll keep them for my own.
I think a surfer gets to my site and thinks.."FINALLY!"
Webmaster always email me asking how to drive traffic to a new TGP they are starting. Honestly today, without a big site to push traffic from, it seems like it's 100 times harder then 4 years ago. I really don't know what to tell them.
