My primary goal was to make a sale, but freesites are a great traffic tool, too. I can send hits to my blog, my tube, link list I have...
I haven't stopped, but have slowed considerably. Simple time invested verses payout. Making less than a shit shoveler in a third world country sucks. Plus I have been taking some college computer course in my old age, which severely limits the time I can build and submit.

I don't know what link list owners could do. The big ones send tons of traffic, and it's somewhat targeted. I don't know where you could get that much traffic anywhere else without outright buying it. I think there's probably too much saturation.
