Linkster

While trading links/traffic for quite some time, I have recently been really looking into what types of changes have been made to the agreed upon link trades and will be removing a considerable amount of links based on a quick sampling this morning.
First - if you agree to a trade between index pages or some sort of round robin trade that includes your index pages - and then later remove those links - guess what - your links are coming down as well.
Second - if you change the way youre linking back - like adding two link lists in to the same combined link - youre outta there.
Third - if you do cat trades with my LL - I expect the linkback to be from the page Im linking to unless we've made other arrangements - changing the linkback to some buried archive page thats only linked to within your site doesnt cut it!!
Fourth - if you trade and expect a link from my index page - dont put my link on some inner page that has no traffic or search engine relevancy - again unless Ive made some other arrangement with you -Ive always been a little too liberal with my index page and its going to stop this weekend
Fifth - and most important - if I find that you are trying to spam links/use spam blogs/log spamming etc. you will be completely removed and this will be your only notice - this includes playing little tricks like adding an underscore at the end of my url in your linkback which a few have tried :(
