Stockbridge Truslow: If a competitor has a backlink from a site then it often indicates that that site is willing to link to sites like your competitors. Since your site is like your competitors, having a list of sites that have a history of linking to your type of site is pretty valuable.

My question to you would be why (or even how) are you offering a service for something you don`t understand or believe in?
