I feel bad denying the trade, but I also feel as though they're getting all different IPs, etc., and I only have five to choose from...
What do you guys do? I need to know the trade etiquette!!!

The solution is to trade with me instead... hehmona_eurorev wrote:I have 82 pages up for trade (actually, maybe less because some are hidden) and some people literally request a trade with almost everything single site (or let's say 30-40) and they only have 5 sites.

Send me some requests Mona
I decline the trade and send them a comment in the message box with my ICQ number telling them if they want to discuss a trade they should message me. That way if they arent idiots and have sites not yet listed on LS I can still make trades happenmona_eurorev wrote:Oh so true... I'm going to send you some more tomorrow!

I'm sure the same thing happens to you though... What do you do???
PR is the most overrated stat in seo. If all you look for is PR you are evaluating sites in a very simplistic way. It's a mistake many people make. I have PR0 sites that rank better for terms than many PR3 and PR4 sites. A PR0 thatis hand-written, consistently updated and intelligently hosted is a much better tradefor your sites than abandoned, spoofed or mechanically generated PR2.lauralace wrote:I insist on fair trades. If they have all PR0 sites, I insist on 1 for 1 trades. Higher PR I will allow for stacked trades, but otherwise not. I think you're well within your rights to decline if they don't want to be fair.
I'd agree that PR certainly isn't everything but it is one of the factors I use to determine a quality site. Sites with only 1 or 2 pages, sites without much text, unfinished looking sites, etc. I don't care if they're PR5 I generally wont trade.Relentless wrote:PR is the most overrated stat in seo.

Anyone with quality PR0s send me sone requests. I'm always looking for quality trades and PR is about 5th on my list of what's important when finding new trading partners.
