Seems like there's a brand new LL Every Day

[dareutwo]

A few months of countless hours reviewing and trying to find submits while simply burning bandwidth.
6 months to a year to get some descent traffic, while spending countless hours reviewing and finding submits without making a profit.
Another 6 months figuring out how to make money from a LL, while spending countless hours reviewing and possibly breaking even.
Thousands and thousands more reviews, black lists, cheaters and everything else, and if set up correctly, you should start to see a profit

I must admit that finding submits is proving to be a bit harder than I was expecting

Maybe we should try reciprocal submissions. You put me on your tables and I'll put you on mine.

I sub to 48 ll per site and some of those I don't even know who they are. But I see that a lot of the guys and gals that post here have ll and some are not on my sub list.

Thumbler I haven't officially met you but I've seen and read some of your post.

I have no problem with putting your recip on my list. Whatta ya say?

110% true. You better be well prepped to spend 1-2 years digging your heels in to make a single buck...

And just when you start making a buck, Google takes a dump on you and your traffic drops by half and your submitters start hating you and leave in droves and you go home and you cry and you want to die.

(I'm not bitter.)

Its very interesting hearing how much work is entailed in running a link list. I just make free sites.and I've got no ambitions at present anyway to go the LL route. I actively enjoy the creation process of making sites(not the submitting, that's a pain).
How many of you LL owners I wonder actually enjoy running an LL?

Yeah, and your pr7 site becomes a pr4 again, your mom gets sick and you get backlogged with 3000 submissions because you have to take care of her and not it, and the more you review, the more submissions you get, the sites get shittier because your usual submitters have left because you didnt have time to review or your traffic dropped and then, one day, your script stops working....
so..what ya gonna do now? Hmmm, just got a check from some sponsor so I guess I'll fix the script and start over..hehe
