I'll take quality traffic over quantity traffic every day.
Just my 2 cents.

People, especially small linklist owners, often say this, but I've never seen it in my stats.
When I analyse my sales, the pattern is clear. The linklists that send the most traffic also produce the most sales.
You might be able to legitimately make the "extra sales" argument about small link list traffic, but to say the traffic is better - that doesn't make logical sense and it has never been a pattern in my own stats.
You could say that's because I don't submit to a lot of little linklists, but I don't submit to a lot of little linklists because I've often analyzed my sales and I've clearly seen that most sales come from a limited number of linklists.
I say it doesn't make logical sense because (1) it's more likely for the bigger linklists to have taken better positions on serch terms for SE traffic and (2) the bigger linklists get the first tastes of traded traffic, by the time traded traffic reaches the little linklists it's been sold to several times already.
The "extra sales from small LL traffic" argument holds up, the "better sales from small LL traffic" doesn't, in my experience.
