Is this site listworthy?

Thanks for the input and the links guys. I have a lot of reading to do on this board. I'm glad I registered here. As for the reicps, all of my tables are ready to go, and you are both in the mix. So, you should be seeing my name in your submissions on a regular basis now. Don't be afraid to bitch slap me if you see something incorrect. I'm one of the ones who like to play by the rules.

There are a couple of reasons I only have 6 recips on the page. First, I'm using the tables or images that I snagged off of submit pages and since they all look different, I personally find they detract from the site if there are too many of them on a page. I may be wrong, but back when I was a surfer, if I saw something that busy, I just backed away from the site. I do like how some webmasters just have a nice table with good text links on their pages. Since most of the LL's I've seen specifically request use of their table or image, I'm wondering if most LL owners will accept a GOOD text link instead. I also thought I remembered reading somewhere that having a lot of links on a page "dilutes" the PR that is passed from a page out to those links. I may be wrong. I'm still playing in the SEO baby pool. Considering all that, having 12 good text links on a page would reduce the # of mirrors and hence make better use of HD space so I'm all for that. What do you guys all think of good, niche focused, text recip links?

Hi Odysseus
I would much prefer to see my link on a page with 12-16 other text links. I havent found many linklists that will not let you use the anchor text from their recips without the tables and colours they use in their recips. Just as long as you use the text and links provided. I don't like to comment on seo here so I will leave that to some 'expert' lol.

Thanks again for all the insight guys. I have been submitting with 12 text recips for the past week and looks like I'm getting listed ok. I'm going to watch my stats for the next week or so and see who doesn't list me, and then re-work my recip tables based on that. I'm still settling into the grove, working on decent templates, and planning on adding more LL's into the mix. Thanks to those who've listed me so far. I'm getting better results from this than I did from TGP, so I'm glad I'm doing it.
