Helped to kill sales for affiliates submitting their free sites and tgp galleries in the last 5-10 yrs?

For me i would say the rule about not being able to place an FPA between the index and navigation page on free site has had a pretty large impact on submitter free site sales overall.

I know when those rules were implemented and used virtually everywhere that sales from free sites submitted to link lists dropped by about 50%.

How about the rest of you folks, what single rule when it comes to submitting your sites to link lists and tgps would you say has had a negative effect on sales in the last 5 to 10 years?
