DAYUM it's getting harder and harder to find decent linklists that actually review

[abatis]

good thread. i think i get a lot of value just by being listed on a list that has been around for awhile...high traffic or not, its a good linktrade. which is my main desire is good se ranking. i always considered the linklist traffic to be feeder traffic to get my freesite off the ground, so to speak. but maybe im wrong who knows. thats just the way i always looked at it. so good old linklist that actually gets the site updated is ok in my book, i never expect too many hits. obviously we need traffic flow for the system to work but....

as for the revolution of freesite/linklist biz model!!! i like it, whats the plan?
although, i also think that nobody works as hard at it as we used to. whenever i put a good amount of solid focus onto freesites they seem to still do very well.

Well, I figure we start out with an increased partnership between a certain clan of builders and a group of middle-to-middle-lower level linklists.

The middle-to-middle-lower has a bit more freedom to experiment than the big linklists - wether we like it or not, we're all to some degree dependent on their (the big guys) specific positions and structures, so we A. dont want to fuck with them in a way that might cause traffic losses, and B. have to be aware that if they experiment we pretty much have to follow along, and if they don't, we also have to follow along.

So, we talk up partnership and see who salutes.

Then I figure we have to experiment. The current "blog" stuff is an example of the type of experiment. We have to figure out some ways to mix up the linking patterns, because predictable repeated linking patterns have been a part of the downfall.

I figure we start by making and linking things that look and act differently than the "freesite".

If we can figure out how to do it in a way that doesn't suck.
