The SEO of Link Lists

[CaptainJSparrow]

My comment "For SE traffic it's a bad model" was referring to the old way that LL's were done, with the Circle of LL's combined with the Circle of submitters. As I mentioned in my original post I think a LL could do well if it followed the guidelines for SEO in 2012.

Too Many Links Out...People used to say 100, but all of this is speculation.

Matt Cutts actually addressed that here:

Googlers still refer to Web Pages as "Articles"...that is the way that they think of a page. IMHO if a LL were done without the intent to give and receive Link Juice, then it could work quite well. Basically as a review site, written in your own words, linking to good content, it would be an Article that is keyword rich and ripe for the crawling by Googlebot.
