how long does a free site stay listed

[Linkster]

Headboy - I had to think about what you said - I dont think that pulling recips really gains anything for you in the long run as that is a lot of work to go back and check - I also dont think that any linklist would pull a link after 3 months without a really good reason unless its one LL that does it more frequently, but his traffic is so productive, I am more than happy to leave his recip for the amount of money I make during those times the site is listed. I really dont have enough time in the day to go back and even check to see if one LL that I submit to even listed the sites let alone go back 3 months later and worry about the 1 hit a day I might be giving that LL.

There's another way to look at this. I don't drop sites so it doesn't apply to me, so don't think I'm trying to sell you a bill of goods, but here it is:

Say you like to submit sites to GG (or any other link list) because you know his pages are well positioned in the search engines for some very targeted keyphrases. You really like getting all that SE traffic from him. Why would you want to remove a link on a old ass site that you made six months ago that could be helping GG get those rankings, and helping you get that traffic.

If you need a reason to not waste hours and hours checking all your old sites, there it is.
