How do LL's make money?

Tinkerbell · 2006-10-08, 12:14 AM

I'm totaly new to this.. but was just wondering how LL's (like penisbot) make money if all they do is link to free sites?

or is there something that I'm missing here?

thanks!

Nope, nothing you're missing. They don't!

Tinkerbell · 2006-10-08, 02:29 AM

Okay... lol.

next question is.. is a TGP the same thing as a LL?

A TGP lists galleries. (1 single page gallery)
A Link List lists free sites (typically 1 warning page, 1 main page, 2 galleries)

I might be wrong, but I think they're making money through advertising

Listing freesites isn't all they do.

Paid adverts/banners etc.
Selling top listing positions.
Selling traffic.
Listing their own freesites or sponsor hosted freesites.
Paid submittal accounts.
I can't think of any other ways off-hand but I'm sure there are loads more.

They build them up huge then sell them to Green Guy

when you get a lot of people visiting to your LL

you can put up a donate button and surfers that go to your LL every day will make a sizable donation

Emma, its nice to see that you are using your old sig again

Some donate money, some send merchandise, most donate sperm.

and what is a lot of people? 1000 uniques/day... 10.000... 100.000?

well, let's just put it this way...I've run my LL for about 2 yrs now and I do see sales, but freesites are still way ahead for # of sales. It's not just uniques/amount of traffic, I think bookmarkers and return visitors play a big part in it. It just takes a huge amount of time (and effort) to build that up.

Sales would come from sponsor hosted freesites, advertising, banners, reviews, etc.

Wow, you guys are great! I want to thank everybody for all of the replies... I asked about LL's because I'm in the process of developing a site full of my own links, but was at a loss as to how to attract surfers. Right now I'm relying pretty heavily on adwords, and have had some success on this front, but obviously, I'd rather not have to pay for traffic. I've looked at Penis Bot, Hoes, and couldn't figure out how they did it. Now I think I have a better understanding of their business model, so again, thanks.

Just out of curiousity, if I were to open up my list so that people could submit and list their "free sites", what kind of features would you be looking for? Since I haven't started writing the script surrounding this process (and have no intention of buying one) it would be cool to know what you guys are looking for (even features you haven't seen at other LL's).

thanks for the help!

Start by submitting freesites for a while. You'll learn quite a bit.

I have a "hub/fake link list" where I have a lot of my free sites and free sites hosted by sponsors (with my affiliate code in them) and I put a list of "free and $1 trials" on the main page and each catagory page. Last week I got two sales from that list that I added.
