Should I Keep Submitting?

Licker4U · 2007-05-29, 11:21 AM

Good post Lemmy. Something to think about.

Since Oct. 06 I've been making a site with 9 mirrors, each with 9 recips, almost daily. Since then a few link lists have been dropped so I'm submitting to 85-86 lists. I can get all 10 sites submitted in a little over an hour so the time isn't the issue. I'm burning up a lot of bandwidth with 7-8 of the recip groups not providing any sales. You get to a point where the more you do the more it costs with no return. (the law of diminishing returns) I guess I need to make a couple of recip tables with some link lists from the board here (to spread the love around as you did) and see if the Karma comes back to me.

I like your replay too Lemmy.

Although, you do make me question my own hippy-free-love-ness because my reasons for submitting to smaller lists aren't quite as altruistic.

Man, I think I may have started a new trend; can y'all feel the love in this thread? I mean can ya feel it? We're literally drowning in good Karma here!

Hey, hipster dude, what can I say, I was actally alive during the sixties.

Although I must admit that the loving returns I am hoping for with my karmic approach is not only brownie points in Nirvana, but quality submits for my LL. God knows I need them, Eric and Sven have gone off the hinges and are registering spam domains faster then I can ban them!

I guess if I have a point it's this: if we work hard, play nice and try not to be assholes we shall all stay one step ahead of the poverty line with spare change left over for mind-altering drugs.

Peace out!

Unless you have them all on 1 mirror site, I don't see how you can be burning bandwidth other than just what you'd normally burn in submitting a site itself. Text receipts burn NO bandwidth. or such tiny tiny bandwidth that it wouldn't be a blip on your stats.

... and not to belabor a point but in his weekly OTB sessions, no matter what topic MML has picked out, the talk always turns to traffic and there have been some really good pointers and since MML is the reviewer for at least 3 of the Mega link lists, I'd think that every newbie webmaster (and if you haven't been in the game for at least 2 years you are still a newbie) should make a point to attend. If you are serious about being and staying in this biz, then think of it as the weekly office meeting you are required to be at..only with the Banana Phone as your soundtrack.

As submitters (and i'm one.. tho a lazy one) we tend to think that LL owners are just waiting for our wonderful sites to be in their admins, when in fact most of them, while happy to get quality, can fill the gaps in their lists with HFS, that assure them of not only good sites for their bookmarkers but also sales for them. So I, for one, am always happy to get those acceptance emails no matter how small the list I submit to.

that was my 10 cents since I'd couldn't find 2.

How can you say I'm not burning bandwidth? Let's say I have a four page site that has a size of 1MB. Each mirror is 12 KB. (Not much indeed) Each mirror only adds 12 KB to my storage allotment but every time a surfer views a banner or image they're consuming my data transfer allotment, which is "burning bandwidth". I'm not concerned with data storage as much as data transfer. So yes, I'm burning bandwidth. Are we talking about two different things?

you were talking about your "recepts" not the site... and I did ask if you put all the NON producing "recepts" on 1 mirror page.. if so.. dump it.

Text banners work very well also and cut down on bandwidth .. tho it's not like 10 years ago and we were paying megabucks for bandwidth.. it's very cheap now days and unless you have posting movie galleries on The Hun then burning bandwidth shouldn't be that much of a concern.

...and now we're up to 12 cents.
