I recently cut my submit list down quite a bit - I'm able to get more output & I'm definitely making more $$ so that's ok. I currently still submit to about 50-60 LLs, but some are out of support & loyalty more than traffic. I only do 4 tables & it only takes me about 20-30 min to submit by hand. I think if you have lots of other things on the go then 1 table does the trick, but if your main thing is freesites then more may work better for you. It's just something that you have to experiment with.
Sue - yes, the LL is a PITA lol, and a lot of work. I'm going to keep mine up tho, just because I've put so much work into it, it's my baby

Hubs are great too. My plan this year is to put up niche hubs all over the place & just keep running the one LL. It slows down the freesite subbing a bit but along with some other projects, I think it's going to be more profitable in the long run that way.
