Folks, I'm not stating that all LL's should do away with public submits.
I'm suggesting it
may be beneficial to the LL, the surfer, and to partners who do wish to pay in order to be able to make more submissions and have sites reviewed more quickly.

If only the top 5 link lists charged for submits when you first started free sites, do you think you would be where you are at now having those good first few months?

If the top 5 LL's charged for submits which allowed for mutliple listings daily like Tommy is doing....sure.
The biggest throttle on income from freesites is the 1 submission per 24hrs.
I'm not sure why more site submissions would 'waste' bandwidth?
Shouldn't they also get more sales?
Furthermore, if you could submit say 4 free sites per day to the top 5 traffic producing LL's you'd be able to weed out poor performing sponsor sites more quickly.
You'd also find out which sites convert better for you MUCH more quickly.
In turn, you could then load up on free sites promoting that gem of a paysite that is doing great.
Let's take tommy's example and say the top 5 each charged $50 for partner accounts and allowed say 4 submissions per day.
So, that's $250 out of pocket.
Average PPS let's say is $30.
So, in order to start making profits you'd need 9 sales.
Let's say one could do 3 good free sites daily after they've made enough 'templates'.
15 freesites each week (figuring 3 per day 5 days a week) in 3 different niches going to the top 5 traffic producing LL's will get results.
Bandwidth would not be wasted because the amount of uniques you get will sky rocket and you'd have a good feel for what is working and what doesn't very quickly.
If I were able to sub 300% more free sites to the Top 5 traffic producing lists I'd be thrilled.
I'd like the partner option
in addition to the public submit option.
I'm not sure how other's LL traffic is but my Top 5 percentage wise for all traffic past 6 weeks:
#1 32.5%
#2 12%
#3 8.4%
#4 5.7%
#5 5.4%
From #6 down it drops to 1.7%
Top 5 LL's represent 64% of my total traffic.
All this has nothing to do with where sales come from. We all know sales could very well come from those 1% traffic producers just as well as Tommy's.
I am not seeing how the ability to pay to increase the # of submissions 300%-400% to the top 64% of my traffic producer's is a bad thing.
