Sales per free site in average?

[LD]

Sodo, I get sales from sites I submitted a year ago. I am by no means making a lot of sales, and like others feel very underwhelmed in by ability to make a buck in this biz, but I have found that the "sales per freesite" stat increases over time. I have also found that the initial rush of hits you get when you first get listed gets you nothing, but at a later date you often get a sale. I still have a lot to learn, but I am doing best with rebills with sponsors that have unique content.

Same here! In fact, yesterday I was shocked to see I made a sale with a sponsor on a free site I made ages ago. I made $59 on the one sale and was very happy!

I completely agree with what LusciousDelight said. Some of your free sites will never make sale some other with generate a lot of sales during the years and as more you have out there the more you can make. I started submitting free sites in 2005 and i still make sales from sites built at that time. The first traffic you get directly from link list is not so profitable, you may make some sales from it but i think the most comes with time and the search engine traffic. One of the main secrets of success is to build sites that are as much SEO optimized as possible, i don't think that if you are building them with no optimization at all you'll have enough profit from LL traffic only. These days free sites don't generate as much sales as before and it's caused by many reasons but i think that one of the main is that they can't get so good SE placements and traffic nowadays and that's why they need a heavy and creative optimization
