Who's dropping links?

ronnie · 2007-06-27, 04:09 PM

Seems talk lately has been dropping link trades, catagory trades, because of G, what have you. To each their own, it's their site, their choice. I don't know about any one else, but I'd just like to know. I was going through some today and found more that dropped links.

It just takes an e-mail, polite thing to do.

Or post on the board.

Any link that I have ever pulled, the webmaster was notified.

I've been seeing a lot of this lately across my blogs too!

It seems to me the big "G" or something has scared a lot of people but it's starting to really piss me off.

to each their own? I dont think so, those who drop (especially without notification) are cheaters and should be blacklisted.

I'm not dropping. Think I'll check my links tomorrow though, and if my links have been dropped I'll be dropping.

Being that there are only 5-10 link lists out there that are truly worth owning and whose owners are actually making a living from their list, I'm amazed by the shit that's pulled by my fellow smaller/newer list owners as they scramble every time they see 20 fewer Google searches. If I owned a LOR, SG, DD, or PB, I'd openly and loudly giggle every time these small to medium sized list owners publicly shit themselves. But that's just me.

I was chatting with my girlfriend, Preacher, the other day and I happily told him that my Google traffic was increasing. The very next day, Google cut it's flow in half. Know how I reacted? I did nothing to the list that was effected, but I did call Preacher a jinx. That man cannot be trusted.

16 months you, say, I'm up to 12, so another 4 to go

What were reasons for the dropped listings or is it just one of those things?
SE work seems to be like playing with fire and i found out years ago when i made changes to a site and saw my SE traffic die a death literally over night.

My SE traffic is growing daily at the moment which scares me to make any more changes.

No one knows for sure, but I can give you a list of about 100 guesses

That also means that there's about 100 reasons why things changed, but I know in my heart that my listings came back because I added a Tan Lines category

I think the problem is, most sites don't have the extra big traffic or the massive good linkbacks the big sites have, with which they can use to survive, so it is easy to panic. When your making "descent" cash, a drop can make a pretty big difference.

I didn't mean to start this thread to start a panic or say there was a panic going on. Just more and more people "talking" about linking being the problem. I did get e-mails from people letting me know, which is the way to do it, they know who they are..

But I also found some that didn't say a word. Just more a reminder, it's best to let people know before you drop their links.

I made a small rant about this recently on a blog of mine - people just stopping link trades with no communication what so ever, it completely sucks.
