I have a very simple suggestion for the hundreds of Link Lists which don't have anywhere near the traffic of the top 6-8 Link Lists. Put your heads together and work out some kind of central submission page where a free site builder can submit to *ALL* of the smaller LLs from one page with one click.
Get cd34/Sparky to help devise the backend needed to dump the submissions into your databases, and have them auto-approved for trusted submitters. Maybe even get MrMaryLou to review the sites put into the central submissions page so you know the free site is a good one since the best reviewer in the biz already reviewed it.
Collect a few dollars from each LL owner to pay Sparky something, and pay MML for reviewing. You'll wind up with lots of new submissions to keep your listings fresh. Then spend all the saved reviewing time working *hard* on building traffic.
Right now it's a losing proposition to spend time making more versions of each site to submit to all the decent but low-traffic LLs out there. But free site builders would build a lot more free sites a lot more often if they knew that once they finished building they could submit to 100 Link Lists with 5-10 minutes of work.
Or don't do anything to make it easier for free site builders to submit and watch the submissions dry up all together on the smaller LLs before long.
Just my opinion of course, so feel free to ignore this idea ... if you have a better one.
