In all probability, they dislike the feeling of being 'exploited' by link builders. A lot of them also happen to be authority sites, so they probably think that being linked to is not a fair deal.

When i started out as a web manager for the Britis Council in France 7 years ago, I usef to get phone calls requesting if they could link to us! Damn yes! Link to my site please!! I used to think :) After a while I understood that there there were companies not allowing free linking to them without permission! Funny! Lisa, great article!

Or if I worked for RyanAir I'd do that for Easyjet. I can think of no more effective strategy of harming a competitor than getting links removed. In fact, Ticketmaster annoy me. I think I'l go do some completely legitimate sabbotage by identifying where that policy is and emailing every single link site they have and suggest they remove them or face possible legal action. Well, not really but just think about it... They could face the equivalent of removal from the index through disallowing links and having a competitor do that. Vodafone et al might want to start getting worried...

Well I had to totally slow down on this one as it sure felt like an April Fools joke or some prank -- I wanted to make sure I caught the punchline if there was one. But it all appears to be true. Stunning. BTW - love this line: "I am still a bit gobsmacked really..." You know how sometimes you skim or read through a post really fast?

Which sounds reasonable to me. Royal Parks request links to their home page. Not brilliant, but not the same as not allowing links. That's 4. I gave up looking at this point.
