Too True!

Really! I woudn't have thought. I stand corrected!

No, not really. That was just my opinion and I often find that some of my thoughts and opinions are not the general consensus. You never know what everyone thinks until you hear more angles. Hell, someone may pop in this thread and say something that will make me rethink it and do a 180. I'm glad to see this being discussed.

Yea, I don't think the recip table would fly either. But, for different reasons. The few surfers who do hit the recips are looking for more porn...they're going to hit the FSC site and click back immediately. There's not really enough room in a recip table to give any idea of what the FSC is about. If we're going to do this...let's do it right...TARGET the traffic to the FSC...at least try to get them the folks that 'might' be interested.

Oh, and while it's rare...I disagree with UW on the exit links...already stated why

However, I am a supporter of the FSC...as is evidenced by the prominent spot I gave them on the root of FPP

So, let's try to send them some targetted traffic that might actually be useful. To do my part, I'm willing to ignore a link to the FSC on entry pages. That way you can have a bit of explanatory text as to what the FSC is about...and why it's important. Don't know how many other link list owners will jump on board with this option. So, another possibility would be for free site builders to give up one of their sponsor links on entry pages. Either of these options allows us to send the FSC not only linkage, but hopefully a few targetted surfers too.

A word of caution on some of the FSC banners. The first couple I checked were HUGE. The one I chose to use was over 80k for a standard sized banner. By removing half the frames, I got it down to about 40k. If anyone would like to use that banner, feel free to harvest it from the root of FPP

I grabbed that big banner on the bottom and put it here:

Yeah...not the smartest thing to do, but I'll keep it up till I get tired of looking at those hotties.

Personally, I have a hard time believing many freesite builders would be willing to give up one of their links for a FSC link. The motivation just doesn't seem strong enough to me. Just my opinion though.

The only option which seems simple, and effective in allowing submitters to easily spread the word, without a potentially noticible sacrifice, is for LL owners to allow a free link to FSC. Unfortunately, I don't see this happening on a wide enough scale for it to be really effective either. Same reason as above.

I hate to disagree with you on this UW, especially cuz I'm still a nothing newbie, but I think a really well crafted recip might be a good way to go. As mentioned earlier, a surfer looking for more porn is exactly the kind of person we're looking for. Something like:

Excercise your right to see this smutt!
Free Speech Coalition

And if someone comes up with a good graphic recip we can all share, maybe the LL owners won't consider it too much of a disgrace on the holy recip table? I mean, if reviewers see it over, and over again... they'd be more likely to trust it, right?
