What to do with exit links and can someone suggest a good niche/sponsor?

I partially agree with japamor. If it's not profitable why link to it. What I don't like about the "exit" link is it does not follow the theme of the rest of the site or page.

I consider an exit link a traffic leak. I don't use them and it hasn't prevented me from getting listed yet.

I sometimes use one to google, sometimes to another God, sometimes to whatever cause I like, currently it's a save the rain forest thing, sometimes I send them to a church just for the fuck of it

Gotta have a little fun in this biz

If it's a leak it's a very small one, but the only ones who click ain't buying anyways, so it doesn't concern me much.

I like the first part of your post and found it funny as hell... then I read the last part and spit out my vodka and gatorade... how could you possibly know that somebody clicking an exit link won't buy anything? chances are they hit your site for a reason and you have no idea what they are gonna click on, especially a newb with a brand spankin new computer lookin to spank it or frig it... i prefer to know that the only way I can't sell 'em something or possibly trade 'em off to someone who might is by them clicking the big X at the top of their browsers or hitting the back button...

as far as a good niche do your own expirementing with your traffic, what works for somebody else might just lead you down a road of alot of work and little return... if you don't have alot of your own traffic try what turns you on as you will know how to market it better than niches that do not

Should have clarified a bit, I don't make free sites and my index pages are usually pretty graphic so the surfer has a good look right away. I would never put an exit link on a page that was just text, logos and banners like most free site indexes.
