Do we risk blacklsiting and change ARS link codes?
 

TGP Brownie wont blacklist for changed link codes as long as that link isn't banned, but some others do.

Is it worth the risk?

What are you guys doing?

I wouldn't do it

what links you changing?
byot links or all ars paysites?

As far as i can tell the sites are all still up and running

All old sites and byots will be redirected on Monday. I've changed most niche gallery links. I'm not interested in what they have planned for the traffic...

Well it's a fucked if you do fucked if you don't sitution.

I'd prefer to make money off GOOD sites by changing my link codes and take the risk by talking to the owners of TGPs if a problem does arise.

I'm sure that they'd be slightly more willing to lift the ban, this is something that's really going to be affecting everyone.

On a side note, I can replace my linkcodes but i'm having all sorts of issues with sed and escaping &s in the replace string- its just ignoring the fact that i've escaped it. perhaps it's a bsd thing, but any pointers would be good :D

Yes change them. They are going to be redirected anyway, so you really have nothing to lose, and everything to gain. Nobody is going to blacklist you for changing a sponsor link??..if they do then they are assholes anyway....Just my :2 cents: :2 cents:

I bet the TGP owners change all of their own ARS link codes...:glugglug

not ALL ARS sites will vanish or be redirected....
sexysmokers.com will be up and running as a Flynt Digital site...
should have linking codes at FD on Monday so you'll just have to do a search and replace on the old codes and you'll be good to go :thumbsup
