Being an avid blog reader I started noticing “free link exchanges” on some of my favorite blogs. Free link exchanges have become more popular because it promotes your site for free. I decided to try out the SPOTTT link exchange service and I was pretty happy with it, at first.

I was getting a few links back to my site, but it wasn’t anyone that was going to come back again. One of my goals this year was to generate some readers and the link exchange isn’t going to do that. Having the link exchange on my site wasn’t that big of a deal until I started seeing what links where showing up on my site.

Refreshing my site about a dozen times I had four links that were questionable. The SPOTTT terms of service says no “adult” links, but these ones are sure adult-ish.

I don’t think having these links show up on my site it alright. It makes my blog look trashy and that’s no good for bringing in new readers. I want the readers to way in so I have set up a poll. What do you think?
