I think hanging around/posting here helps, I get submitters that wouldn't know me except from here, and I submit myself to sites that may not send the most traffic but it's more of a relationship than just getting traffic.

The other thing, as I think Preacher pointed out, is that a lot of LLs start then die for one reason or another within the first couple of years. What that means to me is that the ones that stick around will only grow more with bookmarkers and submitters that know who's here to stay.

I agree, a LL is not the way to make quick bucks here, but that's what freesites/galleries are for. LLs are more of a labour of love (or hate lol) but you really have to WANT to do it, for the surfers and the submitters. Otherwise, you're better off with hubs.

ps I always liked the look of your LL, ynuahayt
