I want my submitters to make money off their links on my list. If they don't, why should they keep submitting? And if they don't keep submitting, why should my surfers keep coming back? It's a "you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours" situation, IMO.

As for "...why not split the money made each day with all the sites that were listed" - just, no. I am working to get the traffic. I am working to target it to the right sites. Submitters: write a good description, get a lot of clicks, have a good site, make sales.

I am relatively new to link list ownership (at least, on a serious level) and it is a difficult dance - it is not at all easy to keep submitters happy and also keep the link list profitable.

I am also a free site builder and submitter. It takes me an hour a day to submit to a couple dozen link lists. Maintaining my own list takes much more than that. It's much more than just auditing submissions.
