Suggestion / Word of warning for those who do hard link trades for SEO
 

Always check the backlinks of the person's site you are trading with.

If their PR is build from non-adult links, blog links, guestbook spam, etc, then don't trade with them - you'll most likely be giving up hard links from your sites that you build using "natural" adult linking in exchange for links from sites from nonadult origin.

In the long run, you're getting the short end of the stick and, arguably, fucking yourself.

Cheers!

What is a trade is build with guestbook spam ed, do you get penalized?

apple to monkey the washing car, yes.

Good advice.

If they, for example, picked up a non-adult expired domain and put up an adult front page on it and are using it to trade with you, then that's what I consider a bad trade.

No, you won't get penalized (there's only a risk if their site gets penalized and you link back to them), but it's a poor business practice and not made for long term success.

Since your talking hard links, here's something I found that seems pretty cool.... but they need more adult/alternative listings. I've talked with this guy and he seems like a straight shooter...but he's never promoted in adult...

What do you think about this kind of service:

(and that's not even my referral url, so I'm not a 'spam slingin' thread hijacker :) I'm after your honest :2 cents:.
