In response I have set up a dedicated directory, built a custom page that categorizes my links. You want clothes? Click on Shopping or the subtitle Clothing. Just like the big boys do it.
I've been busy trying to make sure each category has a few links in it too. And this is offered to my users as an alternative to the "long useless list" I would think almost any user in my links pages would be grateful for the categorization.
Each category is contained on it's own separate page, which is optimized for the category. I'm not selling my product on these pages. Here's what really has me worried. Each page has AdSense on it, which in some cases is actually relevant to the page. For instance, my Gifts page AdSense actually shows other sites related to those I've put on the page, and for which I've optimized the page. To me, this is a plus to my users - they get a few more choices besides what I'm offering. It may help boost my Adsense income, although to date I've made maybe $3.00 in the last month of using AdSense. So it's not so much about income as it is about providing relevant information.
I don't see this sort of categorization on a lot of other web sites. It's a lot of work; that could be the main reason. But I need to know now if I'm doing something really bad, before I find out later with some sort of penalty for breaking someone's rules.
Sounds good to me... but why don't you use links manager... it will save you loads of time and does the same thing
No sales = no extra cash for projects = lots of free time to develop the pages
