Then who will be listing the sponsor content the big guys reject?

More fear mongering.

Wow very interesting! If most people only submit to 12-16 LL's then trying to get a link list going seems like a lot of work for nothing. Getting off the subject a bit. Thanks to a few good people from this board I get some great sites submitted but get a lot of crap also. It takes a lot of time keeping it up. So is it really worth the time and effort nowadays to do it? My hub gets a lot of traffic I'm really thinking maybe just doing hubs and linking to them from my free sites. My LL's has only been up for a year so I know it's to soon to expect to make money from it. But I make a lot of sales of my hub site already. Sure would like to hear some opinions or ideas. Thanks

I recently cut my submit list down quite a bit - I'm able to get more output & I'm definitely making more $$ so that's ok. I currently still submit to about 50-60 LLs, but some are out of support & loyalty more than traffic. I only do 4 tables & it only takes me about 20-30 min to submit by hand. I think if you have lots of other things on the go then 1 table does the trick, but if your main thing is freesites then more may work better for you. It's just something that you have to experiment with.

Sue - yes, the LL is a PITA lol, and a lot of work. I'm going to keep mine up tho, just because I've put so much work into it, it's my baby Hubs are great too. My plan this year is to put up niche hubs all over the place & just keep running the one LL. It slows down the freesite subbing a bit but along with some other projects, I think it's going to be more profitable in the long run that way.

oh, and I don't think that the small LL is dead, not by a long shot

Ponygirl,

You were talking about hubs.. I've seen other people mention it, but I have to admit I still don't quite get the concept. I started out with just my LL (last may-june) and then building a few free sites and galleries along the way, but if someone could help me understand hubs a bit better it would be helpful.

From what I've read, they're basically a site which hosts all your freesites and sponsor content? How does one get traffic to this? Hardlink trades?

Any help for a still relative newbie would be great.

well, I don't know how anyone else does it, but I've been buying niche related domain names, then throwing up a page or 2 for it. I'll list all my sponsor hosted galleries, freesites, whatever they have, plus any of my freesites in that niche. To get traffic to it, do freesites off that domain & submit them, put links to them on other freesites (that will count as one of your links out, tho). One I have is getting pretty decent msn traffic too, so build for the SEs as much as you can - I'm still learning that

traffic takes a bit to build up, but hubs (I call mine 'one page wonders' ) are easy to build & can be quite addictive

hope that helps! you can have a look at a couple of mine here
