I don't want my hard worked conten to be listed in those places. I don't read those bad articles, why would i dream people will look for my article in that garbage?

2. no traffic at all .. when I was 'younger' I did sacrifice some articles. And I regret dearly. I got 3-4 visits I think from those places. Surely not worth wasting my articles.
