Good trading results come from good trading habits.

Lately I have seen a lot of what I would call SEO newbies asking to have their accounts deleted or they drop all trades hoping that will save them from a Google update.
Most of the time I go in and actually take a look at what they've done and try and see if it actually had anything to do with a Google update or if it was just coincidental timing. Like perhaps the update happened on May 5th and their problem actually started on May 2nd or May 10th.
From what I have seen with my own eyes the update didn't hurt the trader. They hurt themselves and their problem usually has nothing to do with Linkspun.com or Google. It is just how they are choosing trades.
There are some here that sling trades like mud. They add 100+ a day. 500 a week. If they are lucky they might get about 50 to 70 to actually add. They have sites with 18,000 inbound links. Some of them do very well. Others do horribly and I wonder if the traded traffic is what they are going after because Google has no love for them. But then some aren't targeting Google. They are going after search engines in their native languages or they are going after Yahoo/Bing traffic. For the most part they are doing well there.
Newbies to SEO come in and see those guys and want to be them, but lack the work ethic it requires to be them. So they create trades with anyone. They load up with links to dating, free sex, sex, porn, teen porn, teen sex, phone sex, whatever... Their sidebar looks like this:
adult phone sex
amateur porn

Their sites niche? It is a blog about BBW black women. You don't think Google knows you give links away like candy and ask for them on shit sites? In this case this person notices their organic traffic they built up in the year before they found LS is dwindling and they ask to have their account deleted or they stop all trades/pull links at the same time.
Six months later Google finally starts trusting them again... For the rest of their lives they bad mouth LS...
What happened was those guys I mentioned in that first big paragraph above were hitting them up for 50 links a day... they were accepting them when they should have been blocking them and denying their trades. Had they done that and only accepted good trades and used the search to find good inbound links their sidebar would have looked like this:
BBW blacks
BBW black asses
BBW blog
BBW porn
BBW videos
Black Booty
Black Hood Babes
Crawl Da Wall Bitch
Grip Dat Booty
Juicy Thick Booty
Phat Asses
Phat Black Asses
Pho-Booty
Teenie Black Asses
Wide Asses
Wide Booty
All blogs with REAL content... Then their SERPs in Google would be moving up. Their image traffic would be through the roof.
You just have to use your brain and read once in a fucking while.
