Firstly, lets realize that your example sites are not free sites. They look like TGPs to me. Most link lists don't list TGPs anyway. And if they did, their link would have to be above the enter link, not below it.

I just created the warning pages 2 days ago, this morning I moved the links above it when i realized that most of them required to be above my enter link. I just put everything in the one table as neatly as i could.

I still have some work to do on 2 of the banners, I just wanted to get a list i had prepared for those link lists finished.

It's just me and i am learning as i go along. When i don't know how to do something, I poke around the net and try to figure out how the top listed sites designed thier stuff. I had the same thoughts about the hidden text in the page, but the page was #1 for my keywords, then after i saw what he did with the different shades of black for text and background, I just figured that it must be alright?

Stop staying banners! You're killing me over here. A banner is a graphic. I assumed that you are referring to reciprocal links. What you have done with your links isn't correct if you plan on getting listed on link lists. You are looking for link trades, which is another beast entirely.

Don't poke around anymore. The net is a scary place. Ask your questions here and you'll find yourself progressing rather quickly. You'll learn a lot more here than you will wandering around all alone. Plus, if you plan getting those link trades someday, you're going to need to make freinds with site owners. Many people only trade links with those that they 'know' and trust.

Don't use the hidden text. It's junk. For search engines - the lower on the page it is, the less significant it is. The smaller the font, the significant it is. Even if you dupe them by using a background image instead of bgcolor, the text is probably going to be a waste of time. Look at the big sites that you want to trade links with. You won't find any hidden text.

Let me back up a few steps. lol...

I wanted to promote my my site. So I did a search for adult search engines. I came to this page: Adult Chamber .

So, my first assumption was that these guys are all specialized for adults. I started going to each one and most of them wanted a recip link. So I went through every page and gathered all the recip information and made a list. Then i updated my warning page to that list and took out the ones that were clearly not adult site lists or content related.

Then I went back and submitted. My goal wasto hit the adult engines, nothing else. As I went through the pages, I saw links on those pages to other places, so i started gathering them as well.

You know, things like this: "Other great places to submit your sites" or "Be sure to submit your sites here as well".

Somewhere in there was the greenguy page and a ton of others. When I go to those sites, a bunch of them want you to download a "flashing graphic link" and so on... I am realizing now that those sites are gallery submit sites and not adult site lists. This is where the confusion lies.

As far as that text goes, the small text losing significance and it being low on the page, This I didn't know. But I SWEAR, the page is identical in "practice" to the top rated page for my target keywords when i ran the search on google.

I didn't do anything like that on my pages, I just did it on my warning page. But, I'll take your advice and get rid of everything deceptive on that page when i update it.

I think that my objective can be achieved with my hardlink trades on that page anyway.

Can you guys give me some good lists of adult engines or sites that list sites like mine that I should be submitting to?

I'ts a learning curve 2serveu. You'll get the hang of it.

Now for another tip. You should start a new thread when you got a question instead of starting a different discussion on a thread thats discussing a not so related topic. You'll get more people reading and responding.

Good Luck!
