Submitted free sites - average lifespan?

sickkittens · 2003-12-04, 12:16 PM

If I submit a free site and it gets accepted on a Monday, on AVERAGE, how long will that site see traffic for?

Is their an average "lifespan" of a free site receiving traffic? i.e. Do most link lists keep them up for more than 1 day and if so, what percentage of the 1st days traffic do the 2nd, 3rd, and so on see?

Some places are forever, some drop you off the list after they get so many new sites and still some drop you if you do not update the site after a set time, but all of them keep you listed way longer then most TGPs do.

With me, you're on the "newsites" page for 1 week and, in theory, on the category page forever (we do remove sites that are 404, 302, no dns or haven't been updated in the last 6 months)

Regarding the issue of "updating" previously submitted free sites, which of the following would constitute an acceptable update insuring the continued listing and not resulting in the gallery being deleted, or worse, at a majority of link lists? Also, would any of the following require an e-mail notification to the LL owner?

1. Replacing pictures in the galleries/warning page with different ones from the same set of the same subject.

2. Replacing pictures in the galleries/warning page with a different subject, but same niche and/or subject matter so as not to necessitate a change in the site description.

3. Replace a recip or two

4. Changing sponsor banner/text, still keeping within the allotted 2 or 3 maximum link limit.

5. Changing color, basic design elements around a bit, but keeping the same galleries, recips, etc.

The bottom line is what are the minimum requirements to have a site considered "updated". Am I missing the point, or if a person has to take the time to add all new content to an existing site, it would seem to be more effective time and traffic wise to just go ahead and build a new site, with new fresh listings and just assume the risk that the old one eventually will be deleted, i.e. build, submit, and forget.

Any and all opinions appreciated.

I'm not gonna tell you how to update the site so that it stays listed, but I will say that that we know what's not been updated in the last 6 months because the bot reports it back to us

Yeah, after hitting the reply button for my previous post, I quickly realized an answer would involve proprietary info. Personally though, I'd consider an update to strictly involve content, text or design elements, versus swapping out sponsor links, recips, etc.

With me.. 4 days on new page and at top of category.. then for life... unless 404/302/DNS/recip removed(

) etc

For Mark's -
You start in the top 10 then move down.
Then into existing links.
Then if still around into the archives.
So, basically forever if the link still works.
But hits Will trail off a ton after a week or so.
