looking for traffic advice (for link lists)...

[Tino]

Ive had this "problem" for pretty much the entire time my site has existed. The traffic I send from my index page to sponsors is converting very poorly. The clicks to sponsors are pretty good, but very few signups.

I realice that the traffic is not as targeted as the traffic that I send from my category pages. My traffic from my category pages are converting extremely well- in fact(for most cattegorys) better than any sites I have(free sites, tgp, etc.)

I guess one solution could be to use a sponsor that pays per click for my index, but I dont want that.

Any sugestions on this? Is it the same for the rest of you linklist owners?

Perhaps try and rotate your index page banners to keep it fresh.

Also I find personalising it helps... eg: Kezza's hot site for "today's date" is.... blah blah blah.

Maybe make the sites on your index not niche, but general... or offer a small selection of niches.
