Why are people still so foolish that they mention PR in their trade request titles?

Don't you realize that by doing so you show you are three years obsolete?

Do you think people are SO FUCKING DUMB that they can't visit your URL and check their PR for themselves, if they care?

Don't you realize that trading links based on PR is specifically against google guidelines, and is one of the likely sources of the current collapse of adult sites in google.

Goddammit, get fucking educated!

Well we were all mostly idiots really. For our linkslists we should have made many (like a few dozen) recips for each category and then had a script give a different one at random to be used (or something like this). We should have did more ABC trades. Randomly allowed people to NOT put up the recip, etc. Less sites on one page with less duplicate content between pages. You name it....but this is only in looking back.

All good ideas.

The pattern of asking for trades based on pr on a webmaster board has been bugging me more and more - there are so many reasons not to do it - I just kinda cracked, and had to say something public about it.

Seems pointless to me as well, its basically a zero sum game - recip linking .

Very good points. I have been doing these same tactics and it works well.

To the operators: If you feel this is spam then please mark it as such, but this very post by Allfetish was the reason I wrote this script:

Which will allow you to do precisely what Allfetish suggested in a very easy way.
