SPIDERING of my sites by other webmasters was just 1 reason I refused/refuse to accept links from links manager! When I find other sites running rapid thru my sites I get very irritated!
The only bots I want on my sites are search engines – webmasters stay the “F” out! Creating link partnerships should be done so with reputable webmasters and thus should include an important characteristic – TRUST! If you think you need to “continuously” check up on your link partners you probably are selecting the wrong ones in the first place! Sure check back a week later “manually,” but respidering their sites over and over should not be required!
We have all got caught up with chasing PR that we have forgot the importance of creating reputable “communities” if you will. Select partners based on trust, content – quality/value – do not select them based on a # alone! Its obvious as youve seen those 7-8s can drop to 0-1s over night!
Consider that a visitor to your site may in fact click one of those links – I for one dont want them leaving my site and going to a banner farm or some other lowly website – you ever hear of Guilty by Association – provide poor quality links and your visitors may/will see you as the same.
