I used to use linkmarket building links. Now it sucks I used it before to get top rankings using recirprocal links and such. Now I just get lots of spam requests and now people are actually whining about where I put the links on my site and asking me to remove the links.

The URL validation along with the signup thing is a bit haywire. Here's my blog article on that http://fastamber.com/blog/2007/01/18...h-link-market/

IMO, they're absolute jerks and I stopped using them a long time ago!

Most of site want a link exchange to increase popularity. But some they removed it and then spam it.

site wants to link exchange with quality, trusted and relevant site and then after that they will just remove it so when you do not check those site linking to you regularly your link popularity will surely lessen...though link exchange wasn't bad but be sure who you link to and if that will be permanent as their site to you...one-way is better than reciprocal linking...

Yah, I was also using link metro for a while. But its doing the same now. They need to filter there site submissions more imo. I find it best to contact people directly. Its more time consuming but atleast its the real deal.

Good to know this isn't just a "who cares?" thread like so many other I've started.
Those are all really good reply I am have a real ordeal keeping good backlinks to my site.
WT's link swap forum seems a pretty good place to get honest link swaps.

BTW if you want to swap links there is a link to my web directory in my signature. I usually approve links about once a week.

Thanks for the feedback.

I tried linkmarket as well. Most "link exchanges" turned out to be one way links....from me, to people I asked for an exchange.

The lack of control of whether or not the other part really adds the link or not is frustrating. So, as many of the previous posters, I stopped using them some time ago.

I talked to the tech people a bit this week. It seems like they want to make the site better but they really don't have a good starting point. I sent some suggestions in. The wrote back to me.

At least they aren't too big to write back. I'll just go with blog linkbaiting, it seems to work the best for getting links.
