Then you take a list like Penis Bot that sends a big surge at first, then continues to send traffic overtime, but less than DD, GG, and RR due to the fact that your sites get moved onto archive pages and surfers can be expected to go only so deep into a list's archives. And then you look at a list like Cleo's. She may not have the same size surge at the time of the acceptance, but my stats tell me that she sends me the same, and sometimes more, daily traffic than PBot...

You can confuse things even more & throw in that some link lists have categories that are much more popular than other link lists & thus, they would make other link lists look bad.
