Sorry for the late reply.
Yes, I removed my blog trading functionality about a month ago when I realized that it was negatively affecting my google search results. It was an oversight on my part to think I could open up so many new trades and benefit from it.
For those of you also considering lots of blog trades... consider this...
1. Many people will remove the link after one week assuming you aren't paying attention. This was about 20% of the trades.
2. Most blogs are garbage and will NOT help you at all with search engine traffic.
3. Many blog "networks" have temporary, artificial pagerank or pagerank 1 that shouldn't trick you into thinking they are quality.
4. 95% of the trades did not even send 1 hit daily!!!
I contacted the list of traders that I had from my database asking them to please remove my link. If you did not get this email, or it landed in your spam folder which often happens, please REMOVE ALL LINKS TO HOES.COM from your blogs at this time.
Regarding free sites...
As long as your site is still active, it will remain in our database. I cycle sites on the category pages twice daily. You won't see your site every day, but when you do, the traffic will be high since the number of listings is minimized.
