Whats the purpose of a linklist?

Yup, that's a Free Site

I'm just gonna throw out a bunch of stuff that you'll need to think about if you're gonna start a Link List:

General Link List that covers all the major niches? Niche specific with categories of those niches?

List of categories (based on the above)

Script/admin for submitters to use to send you sites & for you to use to review & keep track of things.

Rules/guidelines for the sites you're listing.

Search Engine stuff (I don't see any on this free site, but I do see it on your main site, so I assume you know a little & just forgot to set up the Free Site for potential SE benefits)

There's probably a 100 other little things that you have to consider as well (php or html, banner rotator, site design, etc)

***

Also, while I have you here, I have a question about the affiliate program. Does the link code we get form Epoch go to http://www.tonyasfanclub.com/ or is there a clean version of the tour that doesn't have ads & links & top lists & whatnot?

What other promo material do you have? Banners? Hosted Galleries or Free Sites? Free content? I didn't see any info on the webmaster page

To add to what the Greenman said above, you'll also need....patience.

A linklist is not going to be instantly popular nor proftiable. Make sure it's something you want to build for the long haul. People have told me it will take about two years for you to start seeing decent returns.

yes it goes to my website tonyasfanclub.com. I honestly didnt think my tour was that "unclean" lol maybe a little. I have banners, hosted galleres and freesites. Once you sign up it will have a link to go to with my content. Im doing pretty good for being a solo website and Ive never had any affiliates advertise mywebsite. Every sale has come from me advertising, banner trades simple things. Everythign I know from my designing, coding, banner trades and all that I self taught myself over the past 3 years so I think im doing pretty good for never being gone to college for this stuff, but I also know there is a ton more for me to learn. After considering linklists I dont thinK i am ready for that so Im not sure what ill venture to as of now. Right now my affiliate site Im just doing text/banner exchanges and thats about it right now, I also submitted to search engines and did basic meta tag.
