While some LLs are pretty anal about being on "index.html", most arent.

Greenie mentioned this ages ago and it still works fine:

You can put index.html, index.htm, index.shtml, warning.html, warning.htm, warning.shtml (ad infinitum) in the same folder. There are 3 "index" pages for the LLs who insist on being on them, and an infinite number of additional pages for other LLs, all in the same folder.

There are arguements for and against this method, but I think it works just dandy

Also, I'd got up to 9 or 10 recips per page...that gets you 60 LLs on 6 pages instead of 10

I'm going to hijack this thread.

If we were smart, and I have no doubt that we aren't , wouldn't we be demanding that the first page of a free site be named with a keyword phrase rather than 'index'? I've sat here scrathing at my various itchy parts numerous times, thinking to myself, I'd prefer to have my recip on useless-is-a-fucking-cunt.html along with a few other semi-worthy lists' recips than be on the index with a bunch of lists run by cocksuckers I wouldn't even accept submissions from.

Just a thought.

Right there with ya. You'll notice I've never adopted the "index only" rule

Yup, definitely agree with Max...bump the number of recips per page up

6 is pretty much a minimum...you'll be better off at 9 to 12 per page. Once you get more comfortable with things, you can even pump it up to 15 to 18 pretty easily with custom recips.

As to page names, I used to always use keyword.html for page names. But, there are a few large lists that insist on index only, so I caved and went to that build style. Simply duplicated pages into different /keyword/ folders...altered text and keyterms on the pages and created 3 different versions of each free site...all based on the same set of content. 16 recips per site...3 sites...48 link lists.

Either way will work fine, but you will run into a few lists that do insist on index only recips.

Added: Forgot to mention, I do not require index only recips myself

Keywords in filenames don't really make a huge difference in ranking - especially on a free site - but using keyword.html instead of index.html will saveguard that page from canonical mixups and split PR, which means a LL has a better chance of getting linked back from a PR 2-3 page instead of a PR 0.
