Easy Pic would barely scrape a platinum listing, and yet he is the only person I know who will do a 50k+ traffic trade. JJJ would barely get in... and even if he wanted to, Tommy's isn't big ebough, PK isn't big enough, Sexy Rabbit isn't big enough, Absolut isn't big enough, Dr. Bizzaro isn't big enough, and Thumbzilla is nowhere near big enough. Elephant List is bigger than AL4A and Mark's Bookmarks, yet they would barely scrape a listing.
Like alias said, there will be problems in getting bigger (and I mean BIGGER) sites to join the top listing, you definitely need to drop a little. With the bigger sites, the problem is getting them to "dirty" their page with webrings, etc. Don't forget about ThumbLords. These people are essentially free of everything but free porn. No fuss, no muss. No bullshit at all.
Then there are things like "disputes". Let's say that for some unknown and wild reason, The Hun suddenly decided that he wanted to join. Then miraculasly, World Sex decided that you had a good idea. That's a problem, because these guys won't trade.
Or let's say that Elephant List wanted to join... and Dr. Bizzaro joined the gold listing. But as Bizzaro grows, he's going to get a higher listing. That's a problem, because these guys won't trade.
You have to keep an eye out for disputes.
Conclusion: it isn't as easy as it seems.
