How long it takes you to build and submit a site?

Wow...some of you are FAST! Submitting to about 60 LL isn't what takes me much time, I'm still making my freesites from scratch with a master style sheet I can tweak, until I have many, many templates.

Sometimes if the sponsor banners are way too overexposed, I'll make a custom ad, too. (Trying to write) good sales text and working each page to be search engine optimized is what I am really slow at, even with a template. And, choosing good colors for backgrounds, table cells, headlines, sales text, links, etc., even with color tools and palette selectors, can be a speed bump.

I see free sites that are very bare bones, just banner ad, big text link, banner ad, plain galleries with banner ad, one text link, banner ad and while I know that might have taken 20 minutes to whip out, I don't see how it gets any residual SE traffic or even click throughs--but they get listed and they don't take much time and they must make sales. I just can't seem to get to that point yet.
