No, they don't allow links, period!!! Doesn't matter to what it is or if it is good (actually, the better the less they allow it really). Why? Because they feel that bleed of visitors from their site to other sites, thus in effect making their site a sort of "jump site" for people to leave for other places. They feel that will make less people come to their site and hence they get less money from adds (supposedly) and can't pay their bills (no idea why they bills at least in part doesn't correspond to ammount of people though).
That is the basics of it. So really have nothing to do with good or bad sites and with that in mind,, the better the site, the less they would probably like it.

There are three types of people in the world. Those who can count and those who can't.
