What is the ideal number of recips from a Link List owners perspective?

Is it acceptable to put your own small Link List on the recip table?

Are there postions on the table that LL owners prefer on the table like centers or outsides? I know some specify that they want to be near the larger lists and towards the top...

Thanks!

Nope, doubt you'll find a consensus. Keep them reasonably visible and you should be fine.

Of course there's a difference between bold and regular. Again, visibility is key here. Sometimes bold can actually be harder to see if the font size is too small.

As to number of recips, it's all over the map. With the pre-made recips of most lists, 12-15 is probably about the limit to keep a decent looking page. With custom recips, you can squeeze in a few more and keep the page looking good. But definitely read the rules...seems to me I recall some lists now capping the total number of recips. Myself, I build with 16 custom.

Yep, it's acceptable providing your link list is a fully functioning site that takes submissions. As Fonz said, otherwise it becomes one of your outbound links...and it probably shouldn't be in the recip table.

I am debating on using custom recips, the thing I dont like about them is that they all blend togther, plus I jump all around in niches, so who knows what I will do...

imo using the LL's rcips gives a FS index character...

good replies in this thread...

I like to mix up my recips, like Mateusz, as well - although, I do tend to favor some recips more than others, and tend to keep them near the top. I'm also a custom recip hippie, and I give everyone 2 links at font size 12 in easy to read type faces like helvetica, arial, or verdana. I used to use 20 recips but I'd like to start using 16 - because I mix things up I don't want to have to keep track of how to treat whom.

The hippie way seems to upset the fewest number of people.
