I'm being a right little whinger lately but I have another pet hate. I get emails asking if I would exchange links, they haven't put my link up first but I oblige if it is travel related, send them the directory page it is linked to, then they email back saying they want the link on at least a rank 3 page.
When I have checked their page out they aren't even ranked at all, so what is that all about!
Also after I have been through the trouble of linking, I find the majority haven't linked back. Now this is unacceptable, they are the ones who are emailing me to be linked, not vice versa. So then I have to go to the trouble to take the links off the directory again. I have decided it isn't worth the hassle.
My entry page is ranked 4 but I have reorganised my site and other pages have to be ranked again, so tell me why they didn't check this out before making me go through all the hassle.
If you ask me, they are just time wasting pains in the proverbial!
From now on anyone who wants to link to me have to have my link up before they even ask.
