The Netpond Link List Thread (merged)

[Bill]

100 words is just crazy. Doubly crazy, because it's just for one site.

Making a thumb for a freesite sucks as well - for one linklist with average traffic? also crazy.

I used to sub all my sites to netpond - traffic wasn't anything special but the listing lasted forever, and over time the traffic number got pretty good.

But this new system is too much trouble to deal with. I figure in a while they will be forced to modify it.

Does anybody happen to know if you can, or how you can, do a search.php?do=getnew on netpond?

It's kind of a pain in the ass to read netpond without some quick way to sort up the new posts.

I've tried using http://www.netpond.com/search.php?do=getdaily (their default "todays posts" link) but it gives an invalid forum specified error.

http://www.greenguysboard.com/board/....php?do=getnew is GG&Js most valuable link for me.

I'm with you man, just aint worth it. The traffic was alright, but nothing to write home about. Looks like they want a blog and want the submitters to do everything. Kinda funny I am toying around with the idea of starting a blog with each of my free sites being a blog post. I'll do it for myself but not for someone else haha

I'm really stunned that they'd have the balls to make such a request, and I too am certain that a lack of submissions will force them to change. Hell, if you asked most submitters to create a 100 CHARACTER description, you'd get some pissed off people. 100 words is a blog post. In fact, if you are going to write 100 words to describe a free site, you'd probably be better off slapping that chunk of text on your own blog, linking to the free site from within that text and sit back while the aggregators and SEs pick up your keyword infested feed, instead of submitting to link lists. (and then submit both the free site and blog post to me )
