20 recips with 10 extra links = 30 outbound links. thats still more then enough to pass on some good link pop from my site to yours.
With these sites because they're on domains and take much more time to make them the submitter has to make sure it's worth his while financially to make them. The extra links at the bottom of the index provide me with PR and little traffic. hardly a burden on the LLs im submitting to. The navigational links at the bottom of the pic pages are just to help distribute PR amongst the internal pages.
What I tried to do with the linking structure of these sites is create something that sends traffic and PR to the LLs that list me, while also giving links to the sites whom im using content. But primarily these sites are made to get Search Engine traffic and to spread PR amongst those who are involved. Oh, the other thing, is that there is 8 pictures per gallery and 5 galleries in total which makes for 40 pictures. If LL owners have a problem with that, I would be willing to rework it so there's less galleries and more pictures per gallery. I just thought this setup was more beneficial to everyone involved.
If you think about 30-40 of these sites, they would be very beneficial to anyone who would list them. the main thing would be to look at them as a link exchange rather then a freesite listing.
Pros
High PR distribution
2 Links to your LL
Traffic from both index and main page
30-40 of these sites, so not a one time thing
Cons
More outbound links then normal
Surfers see more ads
If you think about the cons, a PR4-5 page with 30 outbound links is still a better backlink then a PR2 page with 12-16 outbound links.
Surfers see more links on the pages, some of which being sponsor ads. But I think it's a reasonable request to put a few extra links on the pages considering the extra effort/thought/time/money that goes into these sites. In the end, I'm not trying to rip off the surfers nor the LLs who list me, I'm just trying to make sure this is a profitable venture.
Please give me your thoughts GreenGuy and Cleo, I appreciate your replies to this thread.
