I still have an active LL, although I'm a little behind on reviews right now for personal reasons. I try to keep up to date and have a group of good regular submitters. Don't know how much traffic is sent, probably not much, but it's still live if that's the main criteria :)

good point...

fwiw, In the 2 or 3 years I've been subbing, I haven't seen any small list become a big one. It seems to me we are destined to have 3 or 4 big list and a bunch of small/mid sized ones. In an environment where things change weekly, even daily, I am surprised the status quo is still firmly intact in the world of link list.

Just a question on submitting. I am trying to clean up the look of my index pages by using just a one line text recip. Not the usual 2 line (LLs main index and the a Cat. link.) Do you all feel that a good thing or bad thing?

Damn Just saw my post count "666"

I switched my LL to single line one url recips sometime ago.

I think the old recips look so nineties now. :D

Thats what I was thinking. And it makes the page look very clean.

When i get some time I am going to clean up all my recips , just a single link and any LL that don't accept it I will cut from my submit - All the guys that send me good traffic from LL accept it anyway , except for PB and they send me less traffic than the others anyway.

I reckon its a good move

I switched a year ago to single text link for my LL as well and I don't care if there is 6 recips or 30. Looks far cleaner with 30 single line recips then it does with 15 double link recips.

Being a middle to low list I don't mind experimentation from quality submitters.

If anyone is on Greenguy's trusted list let me know and I can give ya my partner submit page which allows just about anything. Submit picpost, gallery, blog, avs, freesite or ?? As long as there is content and it's easy to find then its usually good to go.

I'd like to think that my clitpass.com is somewhere in middle to low list too. I just checked listed links for last 7 days and some got more than 10 hits, but some got 1, 2 or 0.
It's a PARTNER LL and sites are listed without reviewing but I check them once in a while.
Bill you are welcome at my place anytime. Apply for account link is on webmaster page. Rules are pretty much the same as everywhere else, I'm not picky as long as the submitters are fair.
As to generating traffic, I myself try to build free sites and galleries to, but lately I come from work to late to be able to build something.

yeah am at least one month behind. To much other stuff going on the last couple months, GF troubles, moving, university studies, work, it goes on and on.
In return for waiting in subque for 2 months sites are listed as new for at least 4 months if not longer.
....I don't mostly list my own, I list my trusted submitters + a couple of fhs.

I review on a semi-regular basis. I will get a couple weeks behind on occasion, but I do eventually catch up.

Traffic isn't all that high, but has been growing month after month.

Just added mega porn to my list, so look out for my galleries please they will all come off my domain www.busty-amateurs.com

Tell me about it

I had to use a partners page as my default submit page to see new submits and keep current

Took me a long time filtering the huge backlog Murray had at about 20 a time into my new submits every day to catch up

Okay then, Private Holes is NOT a suspected vampire, just behind on reviews.

And I do recognize that many lists which could be called vampires are really just neglected (and for good reasons arguably, considering the downturn).

Being a small linklist owner and reviewer can be a sucky and thankless position.

So, how come everybody doesn't switch to autoapprove with trusted submitter accounts?

What scripts can handle autoapprove with partner accounts these days anyways?

So very true!

I have a trusted page that can be set to auto (custom script) but I still like taking a quick peak to make sure someone did not make a mistake. I have had the description in the url section and url in the email area.

You wouldn't believe some of the mistakes that I see at my LL. URL in the description is pretty common.

Then there are people that seem to think a pornstar can also be amateur or a solo teen can be hardcore. I still approve just about everything but very often adjust the category.

I also often rewrite descriptions so that my LL won't have the same exact text as all the other LLs.

My TGP is on auto pilot but I still look at what is being submitted regularly. This week's pet peeve is people putting my recip all by itself.

I envy LL's with scripts, but I like the look of mine, and it's done by hand. If there was a way to keep the design and have it run by a script I'd switch in a minute.
Auto-approve would be cool with me as well since that's basically what I'm doing now for my partners, a script would save me close to an hour a day.

I'll send you a PM with the link to sign up. It's not just a partner link list, it's a private link list, so I don't link to that page anywhere. I don't want random newbies adding links to crap.

I'm fairly sensitive about this particular site - especially the descriptions and tags. Once inside, you'll see my anal little guides on tagging, descriptions and such. Outside of those details and the need for a simple text recip, it's very much like Earl. No daily limit. You can link to pretty much any page/gallery/site/hub/blog/post/whatever you own. I don't have any real content restrictions or demands. (My rules say 10 images per gallery on a free site, but I'm a big fan of hybrid/free style design, so even that doesn't count. Also, I've never rejected screen caps.) I don't have any banned sponsors. Sponsor iframes, hosted banners, etc. are perfectly fine. No FHGs as gallery pages though. As anal as I am about certain things with text and tags, I try not to infringe on a webmaster's ability to earn a living or be creative in their technique.

My permissiveness when it comes to content and design is pretty much what made me realize that it was pointless to review. I have only ever accepted webmasters who I considered trustworthy and capable. I do receive the rare email from a submitter about a typo in a title, but nothing major. Perv has been on automatic for a year or so, and I've never discovered anything added since then that I wouldn't have accepted myself. If I run across something that bothers me in the tags or description, I'll edit it.

Don't think that I scan the site for typos and grammatical errors. In actuality, I barely look at it in that context. I generally don't read the descriptions at all.

If you sign up and decide you don't want to submit to it, that's fine. No hard feelings. But have a look around and see what you think. :)


No. But someday, most likely within the following year, the entire site will be for sale.

speaking of reviewing I have a bit todo today, I run anywhere to whenever to 4 or 5 days the most, unless something happens as had the last 10 days ago

This is a good idea. I'm sure most scripts would accommodate this feature if you dig around the code a little. I'll have a look today to see if I can get it done with LinkAdmin.

I have :D

Noticed your new submit page this morning JK

I can tell you this: I vastly prefer spending my limited time analyzing ad placements and traffic flow rather than scrutinizing free sites. Reviewing sucks sweaty, unshaved balls.

Yep, trusted submits are now auto-approved. If anyone wants to know how I did this with LinkAdmin, I'd be happy to share.

yeah and been wanting to rap to you
