Threaded view of a discussion about hardlinks and ABC trades.

I've been doing a lot of hardlink trades lately and I'm wondering if I should be doing ABC trades instead. What works best for you guys right now? Just straight one-on-one swaps, or building out a three-way trade?

Straight hardlinks are easier, but ABC trades give you a much better link profile. If you can find a solid partner, go for the ABC. Just make sure all the sites involved are actually good, or you are just wasting a spot.

That's what I was thinking. Finding the right partner for an ABC is a pain though. Everyone wants top tier links but nobody wants to give them up.

I stick to hardlinks now. Too many people flake out on ABC trades after a few months. At least with a direct trade, you can just pull their link if they drop yours.
