I certainly understand why you added AVS sites to your mix like 2 years ago, did think it would help out some of the quality of your traffic. But AVS in general has been committing suicide for years, I mainly just deal with them allot of time now just out of habit. Personally I blame UGAS most for this, but sure some of the blame can go around. They had a few problems before this whole( No AVS thing) but after that they rolled over and died. I also do not think removing most of the internal traffic they offered in favor of too many “hurdles” and way too many “rules” was another few nails in the coffin, but a complete lack of innovation on their part will be written on their tombstone. :rip:

To tell the truth I miss linkmeallover.ca that is when you guys had the #1 free site traffic in the world. But sure Mark is talking about affiliate site traffic you offer his site. The quality of the traffic was sometimes flaky, but linkmeallover.ca ROCKED (for people that submitted free sites that is) Now you guys have to pay a big staff, granted you do try to innovate, but their is much less traffic to going too the directory part of the site or well the truly independent parts. The numbers of free sites you allow/list from each webmasters at one time/week makes it hard to make it, and your rules make it hard to place your return links with some of the better free traffic.

Free traffic sources in general will be the next to go I guess, just like the AVS thing. Hate to look back at justusboys.com in the same way as UGAS now, but I do believe this will probably happen next. In the long run just like the AVS thing this is going to hurt most of us too.
