Alright, I'll search through the threads and see what I can dig up.

I understand the list owners have to protect themselves and that there is a lot of crap out there trying to get in if you let it.

But some of the methods are downright impractical. There are so many ways to hide mirrors, making each site seem like the only, the original, and there are so many lists vying for submissions and with genuine traffic to offer, it is a frustrating waste of time for all concerned to try and deny them.

May as well admit and accept it, so long as there are enough good sites and enough good lists, mirrors have a real place in free site marketing with a real job to do.

I was looking into mirroring as a way to try and milk more out of each site and make it more productive. After searching through some of the threads though it seemed that most people said it didn't pay off to try and submit to more and more linklist. I have personally only been submitting to about twenty. But I may give mirroring a try though and see how it works. It's just something I was checking into.

Few people are saying anything about which lists genuinely produce traffic for submitters, other than for the small handful at the very top.

So without linking to a lot of different lists for at least a few sites each, how are you going to find out which ones will work for you?

Without a bigger recip table than the lists would accept, how are you going to give enough of them space whilst doing so? Very few will accept gateway pages, and they in turn all want to be on the first page of a not overcrowded first page.

Mirror sites. Unless someone has found a holy grail which is remaining stubbornly invisible to me.

Lots of 'smaller' link lists don't mind mirrors if they're done correctly. Most that I know, in fact. They may not send lots of traffic, but they might also be steady and/or growing. They probably don't mind too much if they're not on THE index page, or in the 'big guys' recip tables.

I find it doesn't take me that much longer to do a couple more recip tables so I can submit to all the sites I want to.

Some will send more traffic for certain cateories, so really the only way to know is to experiment. Submit a couple of mirrors for the next few sites and see what happens. Take a look in the 'Link Lists & Getting Listed' threads and see who's taking submits, or just look through threads at people's sigs. There's lots of good LL owners in here

what I meant to say, is that horney's right

I think the big guys acknowledge them too. Some still insist on being on the same recip table as other big guys, but not necessarily with all of the other big guys. So it's possible to spread them around within reason.

Ponygirl,
If your taking submits I'll send you my next free site.
