Good to see someone staying on topic - yes, I agree with you! Your link deserves to remain. However, the point I am trying to make is exactly what you are saying...just from a different direction.

I have 2 sites - one an e-commerce site and another is a informational site. I tried and tried to let webmasters know about my informational site - it was clean - had no ads - the information was relevant - and it had a tool that no one else had at the time that made the site super unique.

My competition (older sites) were dated and ugly. Their information was not in depth and their sites were covered with ugly ads...

The webmasters would not budge - it was obvious my site was better...they just were bored with link requests - I don't think they were lazy - but why should they care...I don't blame them. They have better things to do with their time than help me. I blame the "main skeleton" of the Google algorithm - the heart of how Google runs...looking for links is a waste of time...something that I must do but a waste of my time...
