LL owners
 

How many LL's do trade links with (assumign the links go on the main or index page)

I have at least 30 that are trade with sites that I do not own (20 of them being the Top 20 List)

I'm starting a link list soon since I have a domain thats getting traffic yet doing nothing. I'll give it a whirl.

Any recommendations on getting listed on other LL's? Obviously, contact the LL owners and post on forums, but are there usual requirements that LL owners will have before trading links?

i.e. traffic, PR, content, etc.

Dependent on how many categories you have - somewhere around 20-30 links (not your own sites or hosted sites/galleries) per category is a good rough number for content.
With most LL owners PR is not an issue as it really doesnt mean anything anyway.
Traffic will build, so to get listed usually that is not a concern either....just a good clean LL with a good selection of sites for the surfer :)

and no traffic trading scripts - to start with just good plain hard links
