The reason they asked was, IF I was using such tools as Zeus or
Linkmanager was that in their eyes, they had a bad name and didn't
want to link to sites that were using them. So I could have lost out.
Yes, checking IBLs can be time exhausting I agree. And not nice when
you see someone move your link to another page for no reason, or total
removal thinking I won't find out at some point.
But we have had sales from people that saw our link on someone elses
site, so it can be work having link exchanges.

It also depends on what your market is though. For instance, one site
I run (jewelry) is not the kind of site where people are just going to
link to.
Whereas my other site (American / Canadian Indian site) is always
getting IBLs without asking.

Yes, and the rarest of them all. But yes :)
