Sorry if my critique was a little tough. On the positive side, as I say, if you get them through the front door, I'm sure they will retain really well because of the excellent content you appear to have. Many pays sites are all tour and no content - it's good to see something that is not.

Not sure if I made myself clear about the links and domains or maybe I'm missing what you are saying, but I meant keep your pay site clean and then on you seperate domain you make a site with all your toplist and picpost recips. You put content on this site, loads of text and some teaser pictures. Then send picpost surfers to this site and your toplists will send some back. You also have ads on this site which advertise your paysite. Bacially, on your site that is free every click goes to either your paysite, another page on your site that is free, or to one of your toplists. Your toplist traffic comes back to the free domain you are making not to your pay site. It's just as if you are an affiliate but instead of promoting someone elses program you are promoting your own.
I don't think there are many, if any, sites that will only list you if you are a pay site.

However, if youare getting a lot of clicks to your pay site from these toiplists and such, then it might be worth leaving it as it is for now.
