Mert brought to our attention that there seems to be yet another storm on the horizon for real estate websites. In a recent
REW thread there were several Members listed that
dropped all of their state reciprocal link pages.
This all started apparently by several successful
AA sites disappearing from the
Google SERPS.
As you all know AA sites have been severely penalized by
Yahoo and have all but disappeared in their results completely.
We are NOT yet advising any of our Members to keep or delete these reciprocal pages however Jim Messenger (a valued Member and Consultant of this Forum) covered this LAST YEAR in his forum
here.
We have also asked our resident SEO Guru HHI Golf Guy to chime in on this and hope to hear from him soon.
The main reason I bring this to the attention of our Members at this time is so that you can check your link partners to see if your links still appear or if you are giving them a one-way link.
One of the REW Members that deleted all of his state pages months ago without any notification to his link partners was Matt Pellerin from Phoenix.
If any of our Members do decide to delete these pages as Jim Messenger suggest, in all fairness please try to notify all of your link partners. If that is not possible, please post your intentions to this thread.
Thank You,

Correction:
I received a PM from Matt Pellerin that he did notify many of his partners. I stand corrected.
