Yeah, I agree about the smaller link lists. Im not so rich that I couldnt use an extra sale here or there and it doesnt take too much extra time. Besides that, if you dont submit to them when they are small and they need the good free sites then they may not be so nice to you when they do get big
But I will admit... 2 of my last 5 free sites I only submitted to 1 page of link lists. When I submit to a new niche I have to grab new recips, customize them, add them to the index, submit. So I make the initial submission to that niche pretty small and then add to it on the following sites.
Anyways... Good submit tips.
Cheers
