I just looked at a site I submitted on 8/4. I've had 1441 visits from LL so far, 265 clicked through to my AVS site, 1 signup so far.

So that means 18% of the visitors clicked on links, and I'm 1/265 on the traffic that went to the site. Not sure if these are good numbers or not.

Free site shows a 34% bounce. So if it is counting clicks off site as part of the bounce, 16% actually left the site without clicking into it, or clicking on a sponsor site. Does that sound how you are taking it to read Art?

Your are right on clicking from the index page.
Index 229
main 7
gallery 1 - 18
gallery 2 - 11
Most of the traffic is definitely flowing from the index page, at least for this one.
