the freesite biz.

Many here may not like this but.... free sites is just beer money now. The traffic sources have dried up a lot like Bill said, 70%-80% minimum! RedCherry is onto something with the micro niches and site titles/descriptions but again that is small time money.

Even before tubes, link lists would see a 3-4 day massive drop in traffic from google due to algorythm changes. That was google's attempt to drop link "dumps", sites that do nothing but link out compared to sites that host all of their own content... something tubes do. Then google would change back and their traffic was back. That traffic imo is gone forever sadly.

Same with TGPs though I have a tgp that gets good SE traffic. Cleo said it best that doing blogs, free sites, galleries, link list, avs and maybe small tubes and you can make some money but with just one forget it.
