Anyone wants saas sites in paid without doing exchanges, let me know

I'm a freelance link builder. Did 94 exchanges across different client sites last year. Pulled the data out of curiosity.

• 31% of partners ghosted after agreeing
• 22% of placed links went nofollow within 6 months
• 14% of pages got removed entirely
• Only 53% were still live and dofollow after 12 months

Basically half the work I did was wasted, and I only found out by manually auditing everything months later.

Anyone else actually tracking this, or is everyone just assuming their links are fine?
