New free site format (version 1.5)

First of all...as a link list owner I wouldnt mind listing such free sites but as a free site builder I'd never build one.
Most posted arguments pro new free site formula are just bullshit

1) they still wont be updated, and still will be mirrored by those who submit to more than 40 (or whatever number) link lists

2) it wont be any easier for submiters, why should it?
From what I'm seeing more and more free site submiters are using recip table generarots anyway, and those who build by hand (like me) most likely dont give a rats ass if they need to copy all recips onto one page or three.
I noticed many submitters are just changing headers, autogenerating recip tables and submiting - no wonders search engines treat these sites (especially code of the recips which are always in the same order and place) as spam, but I've checked my stats and...
I have different domain for most niches I submit; so far I have 8-12 free sites (submited over two years) on each domain and each domain got 50-650 se hits in march. Some will say thats not much but multiple it by 12 months and 20+ domains and you will get a decent number - definately worth an effort to put some heart in those free sites.

But I also see huge potential benefit

But instead of 40+ recips I belive it would be much better for both sites if submiter placed ONE SINGLE recip link on domain root, allowing him submiting as many free sites from this domain as he wants.
Now that should help getting better rank in se for both
-reducing outgoing links on the free site,
-gaining some decent link backs for LL owner
and finally... making submiters life much easier.

Actually thats the idea I've been working on since a while - I've re-written all my scripts and I'll be allowing such recips real soon.
