• To allow you to add your link most FFA pages require you to register with your email address Thus your email address that you registered can be used send you loads of Spam.
• Using FFAs can lead to your site being banned from Google's search engine index this is because many FFA pages require a reciprocal link from your site to theirs before allowing you to place your link.
