Is it worth submitting to link dumps.

Google uses the # of inbound links to a given page as one measure of said page's relevance. If all of a sudden those links disappear the page's relevance may drop.

Google: "You were important but now you're all washed up"

This is something I read a few weeks ago. If this is true (and I don't see why it wouldn't be) I'd avoid submitting to many link dumps. I use them once in a while to experiment with traffic but that's about it.

yep that's true, google doesn't really like linkdumps, in fact it does more harm than good

I agree. I am living proof of it. I tried submitting my domains that had great google listings and got even better for a bit.. and now after the latest google update, the domains I had first page listings on.. moved to page 3 or further. Im not a happy camper. I am working on my own link dump as well cause people really seem to like them... only difference is I will own this one so I can make sure my links are always on the site
