Wrote a blog entry about it: http://www.andreas-kraus.net/blog/dropped-link-vault/

What about you guys? Anyone still sticking to them?

I dropped coop a few weeks ago.

I've found the results are as not good as in the past, but I still use it to help deep pages get spidered.

I dropped them months back after running an experiment on one of my sites.

The site suffered a 'sandbox' effect and PR dropped.

IMO, too many 'bad neighborhood' sites.

I post my new results here as soon as I got them. Until now, ranking didn't change.

I am completely off Link Vault now.
Some of my sites are still getting loads of supplementals or are not indexed, but fortunately I never used Link Vault for any super important sites.

It had a value at one time, but I think they may need to devise an improved system if they want to continue to provide value.

I used COOP until Jan. 2006. Too much worry about Google counting it against you.

Yes, I actually switched to Link Vault from Coop, and in the end I have dropped both.

whats that Coop.

The best thing is to stay away from linknetworks, it's just that simple. After I dropped every network I only see improvements in rankings.

I've never used them and will never use such link networks, you can forget about quality when you do use them.
