Why do people delete link trades?
 

I really don't get people looking for link trades and then deleting recips after some time...

To steal traffic in the hope that you do not notice, or your site is not sending enough traffic, or you site is undesireable

Either they are idiots or your trade is shit.

on one blog , i lost the db , used the backup blaba and such and long story sjhort had to restart sometimes its a fuckup

yup idiots your the prod is horrible

well after a longer period of time its acceptable, not?

like after 2 years or so?

if the dude was fucking my wife on my birthday - i would delete the trade. :2 cents:

i run linkex, and i find that i wind up deleting close to if not over half of the links that get stuck in there. sometimes i don't really quality test my exchanges for a one or more. i notice the list growing so i do some surfing, find that the majority of what i have in there blatantly ignored the restrictions i placed in my exchange rules, so they get the axe.

i hate people who delete hard link trades...
unless it's due to a fuckup or sale of website this just sucks...

usually i only suspend those links and e-mail them. but i don't really get what is their plan: do they really think that would pass unnoticed?

people have to make a difference between traffic links and links for improving link popularity. that's two totally different subjects...

i delink on link trades only

- if the prod is really low, like, incredibly low
- lost contact with the trade partner

Sometimes webmasters MOVE their link back to a spot thats buried or otherwise invisible to the surfer... Thats grounds for deletion. :2 cents:
