If your linklist is getting 10k uniques per day (not hits) then you are in the top percentage of linklists.
Having 300-500 uniques per day is a good start and is very normal for the first year - until you get some real good SE listings and loads of bookmarkers.
Make sure that when you are looking at stats or counters that you compare apples to apples - hits do not equal visitors
Lowry - keep working getting pages added and submitting free sites with links to your niche categories etc - it will build up
