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.

I think domain root links may work very well for small link lists, like my own. But the larger lists would prefer quantity over quality, and I _think_ that actually serves them better SEO-wise. Each model has different needs. Unfortunately, the one example we have to go by, Jel's link list, didn't become anymore successful than most small start-ups.

One thing to keep in mind is that if you were using category recips on a free site and submitting it to 15-20 link lists, you are already accustomed to having 30-40 outgoing links on your index, not including ad links.

My best guess right now is that if any change does happen, there will be two types of link lists. Ones who only accept the current model and ones that will accept both. Those link list owners who appear to be open to the idea of the modified index also seem to like the idea of having a more favorable balance between content and advertising rather than a 3 links out rule. In other words, as long as the advertising doesn't over-power or conceal the content, there wouldn't be a specified restriction as to the number of ads.

Well, it was. But now it's becoming more of a revamp and change in policy. All of this may go nowhere, so don't worry too much.
