Reading through my link exchange requests is the most frustrating part of webmastering.

I have a form where people fill it out and they are instructed to put a link up on their website first.

So I go look at their supposed page linking to me, and most of the time

(1) no link found at all
(2) link on a page with a url like [domain.com...]
(3) link on a page buried five clicks down from their home page
(4) not a real <a> tag link (this is not as common as the others)
(5) it's an "adult" site and I clearly say that I don't trade links with "adult" sites
(6) linking site has one name, but the "title" they always send me is "keyword1 keyword2". If I listed their site that way, every single link on my links page would read exactly the same.
