Anybody With A Blog Linking To Free Sites

Personally, I really don't think it's efficient to link from the blog to the freesite since your linking from one sales pitch to another (assuming your linking the index and not your warning)

Mostly I'm lazy and just use a FHG to link to but on galleries I've actually built to go along with my blog post I link directly to the join page. I figure I've hooked them, shown them more of what they were looking for it's time to see if I can get a CC.

I agree - the last few times I linked to my FS from my blog - I linked directly to the content page(s) of the FS, (like here) not to the index or the main page. I often create "short tours" with just two to four modules for the same reason (like this example)

I just today created a blog on my AVS hub where I put all my tgps promoting my AVS sites. I link to it from some of the tgps, and a few of the avs sites, plus I figure if a surfer wants to remove all the sub folders and look at the base domain, maybe I'll sell them on joining one of the sites.

I've been meaning to do something like that that lists updates to my sites, and have been working on it for what feels like 47 hours staight. I agree with Walrus though, linking a blog to freesites that link to sponsors maybe a bit long of a chain of links. At least linking to my AVS sites, that is something the surfer can just sign up for.
