My 2 cents. First thing I do is build tables of recips in the category of the site I'm going to be building on an HTML page. Then I have a list of submit page clickable links that open in a new tab.
Then I open my free site in one screen (dual monitors, I love them) then open up my html link list pages in another. Click a submit page, use robo forms filler custom forms to fill it out, check to make sure that I haven't filled in any extra fields, then submit. Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
Takes me longer sometimes to build the initial tables and links to submit pages than it does the free site, but I have that for next time, and the next time, it is a whole lot faster.
As to big links / small link lists. I submit to both. I have some free sites up on smaller link lists that may only send 5 clicks a day, but they have been doing that to that free site for over a year.
