Free Hosted Freesites?

carcassi456 · 2007-11-08, 09:29 PM

Lately, it seems like free hosted freesites will become the next fad.
Can anyone comment on this? Does the idea make much sense?

Thanks.

are you talking about sponsor hosted free sites that pay link list owners for signups? or are you talking about free sites hosted on free hosting?

I'm talking about the freesite version of free hosted galleries (as in freesites made by the sponsor).

I'm not sure if they've been around, but I've noticed them recently.

Oddly enough, I think the fad came & went already

I think they have their place - I'm both a pay-site owner and an LL owner.

I’m no expert but here’s my take on the issue.

1. Recip-free free-sites typically have the authors affiliate codes imbedded in the links of the free-site.

2. Sponsor hosted free-sites should have no affiliate coded imbedded in the free-site. This allows you to link to the free-site using your affiliate code for that specific sponsor and recevice credit for sales generated through that free-site.

If I place your recip-free free-sites (as opposed to sponsor hosted free-sites) on my LL, the free-site creator gets the affiliate sales commission, then I, as the LL owner, get nothing except content – which helps SEO and keeps surfers happy.

If I place sponsor hosted free-sites on my LL and sign up as an affiliate for that sponsor, I get all the benefits above plus a sales commission on all sales the free-sites bring in. Same goes for sponsor hosted galleries except the free-sites offer more content for the SE’s.

As an LL owner, I usually only place recip-free free-sites in cats that I need to fill with content or as a favor to submitters that have treated me well in the past. I’ll place sponsor hosted free-sites on the LL more often as they create a potential revenue source for me.

As a pay-site owner, all of my clean free-sites have no affiliate codes internal to the free-site and can be used with your Glassmannequin.com/CCBill affiliate code when placing them on your blogs, LL,s and hubs. Great way to make a little $$$.....
