An old WebmasterWorld member posted in the WebmasterWorld forums that he had enough, he closed down his site that did well in the search results because it was getting too much.

What was getting too much? The requests for links to be taken off his site and removed because of all the link removal requests.

He said, most of the links were nofollowed but despite telling these people who asked for the links to be removed, they simply didn’t understand and demanded the links be completely removed.

Here is what the webmaster said:

A shame indeed.

He didn’t have the heart to charge for link removals and decided to just kill the site.

I don’t know if I would have done that. Heck, even this site gets link removal requests and I am sure you guys do also.
