A Year In The Life of TDW: A Cautionary Tale

I just took a look at your new category page and I see you use tabs for easy browsing of free sites and paysites - isn't that making it a bit too easy for the surfer though? I know I'm not on a quest to give away free porn and neither is 95% of the other people in adult - we're here for the money and the money only!

And sorry if this was a bit of a hi-jack but since I couldn't make such a nice and detailed description that Preacher has provided I thought it was more appropriate here.

Sorry for not breaking up the quotes better, but I am in a hurry and I have to run out for a bit.

1) Yes, I do look back and see some mistakes I made at the beginning, but I figure anyone running their first linklist with no existing traffic pumps will make similiar mistakes. If you cleared $1k or more on your first linklist that is great, and I'd love some recommendations.

2) I think I kinda answered this in the above post and like I said, I am very short on time right now. Just to elaborate quickly, I'd rather have happy submitters seeing more click-throughs to their sites and an increase in bookmarkers then an immediate profit, but that's just my philosophy and we'll see if it works.

3) Not a hi-jack at all. This thread isn't supposed to be about 'my site' it's to be open and honest and give out the kind of information I would have loved to have a year or so ago.
