Link Market Rendered Unusable?

    I use to always be a big supporter of LinkMarket.net but they sometimes really make it hard on you. They now added a feature that warns you if the person you linked to didn't link back. Not so bad so far.

    Only it is backdated. Since I have been a member since the beggining it means I manually have to acknowledge every request that wasn't finished. I couldn't believe how they add up. In order to get back functionality, I have to do this for over 1,000 requests.

    That would literally take me a week.

    I have no choice but to stop using them until they fix it which could be weeks.

    I sometimes wonder if Link Market uses their own interface :rolleyes:

    Should this not be in the Link Developement section? ;)

    I've heard recently that Google in particular may start to penalise sites with too many recipricol links and it's best to try and get as many 3 way links as possible? What are your feelings on this?

    Yes, I was looking for Link Popularity and I must have missed Development. I will report my own post since I can't move it ;)


    As far as recips, Link Market allows triangle links which is why I always used it. As far as I know there isn't anything close to them that has that possibility.

    Interesting to hear that you actually find them useful, or have in the past. I have always had the worst requests from them.

    I have learned over their history how to filter results, etc. I still refuse a lot of them but I have actually got quite a few PR5,6 and 7 links (I got some 7's in the beggining although honestly its been a looooong time since that happened)

    That sounds interesting... I hadn't heard of any triangle linking sites and had actually starting developing a site that would do something similar back in April but since then other projects have taken priority. I'll probably get back to work on it around November.

    Wow, good for you. I think you may be ahead of the game on LM if you picked up some 7s. :)

    LinkMarket is not bad, its one of the better link exchange networks I think. But I totally agree I dont like that you have to acknowlege all broken links manually, I think they should have some kind of experation or a mass check box method.

    Wouldn't you guys like to get you link jobs in a csv? instead of having to click a thousand times to get the info?

    I tried meailing them but they don't seem that open to suggestions, I even offered to write the code to do it for free.

    You get 10 at a time which is fine with me. If there was a comparable site that offered that, I would try it but nothing comes close.

    I'm a big fan of Linkmarket.net. It's definitely one of the better link development sites. I've almost finished wading through the broken links. A much needed development but having lots of broken links backdated is a bit of a pain. Still, they expire on their own after a period of time. At least that's a good thing.
