See I really still like FS, and still list them to this day in fact most of my sales come from FS (maybe why I bitch about this stuff) But they are killing us, now with all these rules and even to the point now they have hurt the FS model in most webmasters eyes. Did not used to be this way, FS where the shit a few years ago and had huge amount of profitable traffic to go around, but things have changed now. Its open to interpretation what started this mess, was it the LL that got to greedy? Or is their something really wrong with the FS model and they can not generate much interest so they came up with all these BS rules to try to wooo back viewers. Either way this is not good for webmasters that make FS and the LL that post them. Yes maybe some of these LL are making more money now, but they have all but cut most of us out of the process, but this will not last for them.
If I was you guys I would come up with a profitable FS model, that is fare to both you and the LL and is worth creating then only list these site in the directories that will accept them fuck the rest of these LL guys. Not make all my sites work with all/most of these link nazi rules, I make sites to express myself and pay the rent.
