Sorry…

LOL )

I only said that last line as a comic aside (hence the smiley) to put Jason at ease… Perhaps not the best way to go about it but hey, it’s just my sense of humor.

Your post sounds a little suspicious to me…

Do you really think that Jason’s problem is that he is not working hard enough to build someone else’s business?

Hmmm…

I seem to be the opposite of Jason in that regard… Perhaps we’re in the same 3-way circle and he’s linking to me but there isn’t enough ppl in the 3rd position yet so I’m not linking to anyone in the 3rd slot. -Meanwhile, the 3rd slot isn’t present to link to Jason.

Sorry Jason! -In that case, you should be pushing for more folks to sign up!

Incoming – 33
Outgoing – 143

Yesterday, it was 33, 135

I will cancel my FREE account and take down the links page on my website tonight. Like many stuff out there, Linkserp is only good on paper. Luckily it was a Free account, otherwise its 20 bucks down the drain.

Site 1:
Incoming links: 26 (17, 11)
Outgoing links: 29 (20, 15)

Site 2:
Incoming links: 36 (24, 19)
Outgoing links: 37 (20, 11)

Site 3:
Incoming links: 26 (13, 10)
Outgoing links: 37 (18, 10)

Site 4:
Incoming links: 35 (18, 12)
Outgoing links: 27 (18, 13)

My original free site:
Incoming links: 25 (24, 24)
Outgoing links: 132 (117, 111)

As you can see, the original free site is still being used as fodder to provide links to other sites – the rate of link growth continues to be abysmally low.

And on site 2, they’ve built 36 incoming links in 5 days. That’s 7.2 links a day. Uncomfortably fast. Especially since the link growth isn’t going to continue forever.

Haven’t decided yet, but I may ditch this system and go with 3waylinks, despite Linkserp being a clear bargain. At least Jon Leger knows what he is doing, even if he is whimsical about approving sites.

Best,
Stan

Incoming – 33
Outgoing – 135

Yesterday it was 31/127
The day before – 30/122

Not a pretty picture, if you ask me.

I just checked by Linkserp stats:

As stated yesterday,

Incoming – 30
Outgoing – 122

Today

Incoming – 31
Outgoing – 127

The incoming links are way,way,way too slow. Jimn and Stan, I think what you said about the treatment of paid and free sites do have basis. Yeap, I agree – not a smart business strategy if true.

Its less than 24 hours since I made my last comment above and here are the updated link counts: (figures in brackets are the link counts in my previous post)

Site 1:
Incoming links: 17 (11)
Outgoing links: 20 (15)

Site 2:
Incoming links: 24 (19)
Outgoing links: 20 (11)

Site 3:
Incoming links: 13 (10)
Outgoing links: 18 (10)

Site 4:
Incoming links: 18 (12)
Outgoing links: 18 (13)

My original free site:
Incoming links: 24 (24)
Outgoing links: 117 (111)

Now I’m getting nervous. They’ve added 24 incoming links to one of my sites in about 2.5 days time. That may be a bit too fast.

It does appear that free sites are treated differently from paid ones, like Jinm commented. Perhaps they use free sites as fodder to get links to the paid sites. Not a very smart strategy, because if the folks who own the free sites don’t see enough link growth, they will simply delete those outgoing links and opt out of the system.

On the other hand, if they grow links too rapidly, that may also convince some people to get out of the system.

Talk about getting hit at both ends…

Luke, perhaps you might be able to tell the owner to change things a bit? I once put in a ticket asking about the slow link growth to my free site…its been over two weeks and there’s no response. You might be able to carry more weight with the owner.

Best,
Stan
