One thing you can do to make your freesites produces sales longer is name your pictures using keywords. I have sites years old still getting google and yahoo images traffic that still produce traffic and sales. It's not a lot but it's a few hundred bucks a month.

Do you name each image in a set a different title? Or do you go with a more standard approach to your naming for each image?

Cheers,

In the past I've only named my pics in my php build which I use for sites I DO NOT submit to link list. I can do it two ways. sexy-mexican-women-001.jpg or just go down the keyword list hot-moms.jpg, sexy-moms.jpg, etc.

You might see results in a week or it might take years but it does pay off.

We have about 6 sites from 2003-2004 that still produce monthly sales. 1) they are very uniquely titled and texted.
2) they are unique niches
3) they are listed in long term listing sites that keep listings 4 ever
4) They are listed on all our hubs but with different descriptions (4 hubs total) which gives different keywords into the SEs.
5) We've incorporated their galleries into blog posts which increases the traffic to the sponsors.

Like any business -- there is no get rich quick panacea .. you have to keep it going (something i'm terrible at) to keep the traffic flowing.

I have some freesites out there from 1999-2000 timeframe that still make a sale a year - as well as some avs mini sites that do the same as a minimum
These are all listed on just a few (probably 20) link lists that I used to submit to that have weathered the changes over the years - and the AVS sites are listed on maybe 5 link lists as well as the AVS itself

One thing I did a few years back (other than the standard hub/se/directory stuff) was to make sure that the sites all used sponsors that had been around forever (even when it meant that I went back and changed sponsors where necessary)
and avoided the newer sponsors completely as they seem to come and go with the wind - the reality type tours will get a few nice signups when the free site first goes out, but traditional seems to sell in the long run so I avoid the reality, newest thing on the block type paysites for those types of free sites
