Yep that is a point, sometimes you can just see a whole list of trades, you get people that request a link from every site in your network to their shitty cam site or whatever, all with the same anchor, am I going to go in and explain each one individually? No, I just tick them all and click "d...

My findings so far: many of the sites that lost out were sites I already knew were thin sites and was planning to redo, but one lost out that I wasn't expecting. It lost a lot of positions, but on the other hand a sub page was now ranking higher than ever, #4 for a term I wanted the home page to ran...

redwhiteandblue

Holy CRAP! Google rolled out an algorithm change yesterday and I lost 3 top ranks - from position 1 to page 3 and beyond - anyone else get floored in the update? Tropicool Lost all the #1 spots I had :( The only good thing is, changes I started putting in place since the October update now show me ...

You can do it by adding your friends page to your account, and leave it visible, then set the home page to hidden so no-one can choose a link from it. But if you do this, you may find it hard to get trades as "friends" pages are pretty useless, low quality pages that may well even be damag...

There should be a list of sites of the other guy, with a "Add to request" button at the right hand side of each, just click that button to request a link from that site (or more than one). If there's no such list then the other guy may have limited PR and not realised that it has left you ...

Spoke too soon. Maybe my table's wood isn't solid enough.

redwhiteandblue

Yes there are big changes happening, Google is rolling out the Panda / Farmer update worldwide. Hasn't hit me this time touch wood.

redwhiteandblue

I hope there is such a limit even in any paid version. I want trade requests from people who have put at least a little bit of thought into each one, not just spammed them because they have a daily quota to fill.

Excuse my ignorance but what is ABC or ABCD trades? I have two sites, mysitea.com and mysiteb.com You have two sites, yoursitea.com and yoursiteb.com. Google doesn't like too much reciprocal linking, so to avoid the link exchange being spotted we arrange either an ABC or ABCD trade. ABC: I link mys...

Actually it looks like melontrades is having problem with LO, also the user "hardlinks" having the same problem.

redwhiteandblue

I noticed a few people do this and it occurred to me that I should do the same. I now no longer request trades from sites that put links in a block in small fonts in the footer and yet some of my own sites weren't a whole lot better. So I decided to do something about that, and now all outbound link...

redwhiteandblue

There seems to be a number of users who have signed up, quickly got a few links, then never logged in again and dropped the links a few weeks later. That said, should you always keep every link up no matter what, or do you ever go through your outbound links and periodically weed out the ones which ...

It most certainly can, don't believe everything you read. Googlebot will also run Ajax if you are using it.

I haven't had a hard time using it the 380-odd times so far. You know what, I got a sale only yesterday from traffic I got directly from one of the link trades I gained here. Unless I imagined it, but I think it was for real.

redwhiteandblue

First off, I would delete http://www.realworkinggirls.com/index.shtml from your profile as it's exactly the same page as http://www.realworkinggirls.com/ and you only ever want links to point to one url for any page. Second, you have a response from me for the trade you requested, all you have to do...

redwhiteandblue

Apologies to all those who had trades with me. I quit suddenly and there were simply too many people to notify (over 1200 trades in total). I probably should've notified users like Redwhiteandblue, who I had lots of trades with, but it all happened quickly and I didn't really get the chance. No wor...

redwhiteandblue

I had 20 or 30 trades with Oppoten here, and more on TB, too early to say if it's affected my SERPs yet.

redwhiteandblue

I'd say it's hard enough finding good trades at the best of times without blocking those who you wanted to trade with but denied you the once.

redwhiteandblue

There are a LOT of reasons to have hidden sites. Any new sites that I add here, I set to hidden until they are at least a couple months old - it must look odd to Google to come across a new site and find it already has a load of "friends" it is linking to.

redwhiteandblue

You click on 'View trade'. You choose one of their pages you want to get a link from. You click on 'Add to request'. Then you choose one of your pages you want that to link to, in the drop down box under "Linked to:". The reason it says 'Add to request' is that having chosen one page, you ...

I haven't lifted his ban, but I do believe that he did not know what the terms meant. Doesn't matter, his sites had that phrase all over them, not just in the domain names. So they will be indexed in G with that content now. And of course ignorance is no defence in the eyes of the law and shouldn't...

redwhiteandblue

I suspect there are some people here who will blindly accept a trade without even bothering to check what they are being asked to link to. You have to be careful what you link TO, as well as where you get links FROM!

redwhiteandblue

Nope just clicked through to someone's site from the link in the trade request, I did the captcha thing which unblocked me and then cut and pasted the link and it was ok.

redwhiteandblue

Every time I go to check someone's thumblogger site from here, I get a page telling me my computer is blacklisted becuase it didn't behave like a normal user. Anyone else get that?

redwhiteandblue

There are tools available to bulk check FAKE pr sites. Fake PR is a blackhat method. The member on linkspun with that site is cheating your other members. If you're so hung up on PR and you haven't got the brains to work out the validity of a trade based on any other factors or tools, you deserve t...

redwhiteandblue

Lots of trade requests coming from people completely ignoring my profile message and asking for trades that just get deleted immediately. Is there any way to make it more prominent maybe, or anything that can be done to get them to read and understand?

redwhiteandblue

Im not sure I follow here but, if you have a link trying to be spidered that is supposed to be on http://www.domain.com, but you have redirects to domain.com that trade will not verify (and never has). www and no www are 2 separate pages, the script will not accept a link on domain.com if it is loo...

Hello all, I just joined and I noticed there isn't any type of help page or anything explaining "How To" I wanted to know what is the "Hide" and Unhide" button for? And when I add a page do I add my homepage or do I have to add the page that will have the reciprocal links? ...

Maybe the other person denied them quickly, do you have the option set to receive emails about denied trades?

redwhiteandblue

I find myself denying a lot of trades recently. The main reasons I will deny trades are: You've requested links to the same page from several of my sites at once with the same anchor, this is a clear sign to Google of unnatural link building and will hurt my rankings; You've requested completely irr...

$19.95 at the end of the day is the value of one good signup on revshare.

Also something th...

You should see a list of the other person's site with a "Add to request" button next to each one. You click on the button for the one you want him to link to you from, then in the drop down list under the anchor text box, choose which site of yours you want him to link to. If there is no l...

Tell you what would be handy to know if the data is available:

Number of trades you have with this partner;
Number of trade requests you've sent this partner;
Number of trade requests from you denied by this partner;
Number of trades that you had dropped by this partner.

I don't think you'll come back stronger, I think after a while Google's algorithm will suss out these spam pages and ignore them. I think I got hit by this for a couple of sites, and after a bumpy few days they're back where they were. Looking at one in webmaster tools I saw that it had gone from ab...

redwhiteandblue

I think, and note I only say "I think", that you are more likely to be penalised for having too many backlinks with the same anchor text in a short space of time, than you are to have too many backlinks per se.

redwhiteandblue

I'm afraid I'm guilty of this. I often get requests that I can't immediately see what link back I want for, so I leave them until I can make the decision, or until I've built a new site that needs some backlinks.

redwhiteandblue

Lots of people asking for features like, blocking people from requesting trades if they don't have x many sites with y amount of pr, etc etc, and people asking for a way to say they are on holiday etc. How about a short message you can add in your profile that automatically appears as soon as anyone...

It's just some certain type of "traders" that are annoying. Lots of them are spamming trades at thunder-ball now (since most of decent and good traders gave up on that service). Now these bad sheep learned about Linkspun and are on the prowl :lol: True, what finally put me off using TB wa...

What if we apply a rule that one must have at least 5 or even 10 sites (different domains or subdomains)? There are many traders like OP who don't have anything to offer yet bombard everyone with their 1-2 lousy tube sites. This is something I really hated about thunder-ball. And generally most web...

I sometimes see Google as the referrer in stats but with no query string so there's no search string to parse. At first I thought these were bots faking the referstring but maybe there's some privacy setting in the browser that strips the query string off the referstring?

redwhiteandblue

Fingers crossed you may be right. I was worried because the same happened to another site but the traffic hasn't come back yet on that one.

redwhiteandblue

It is odd how Google does things. I started building a network of fake tubes a while back, I had two up and started a third, but didn't finish building it as something else more important distracted me. I've never finished it, it has no backlinks to it at all, yet Google is still sending it a good c...

Looks like I got an over-optimisation penalty on one of my earners, down from 3000 SE hits a day to about 300 and the only remaining traffic from Google comes for terms that I don't have as anchor text in any backlinks.
