Just by submitting free sites.

OK, then you must be linking to that hub from the free sites. Does that really generate much additional traffic to sponsors? Do you update the hub when you make more free sites?

I'm looking at this from a return on investment point of view, with the investment being time. Time is a precious commodity in a one man shop.

I'm in the same place as you. For myself the handful I did were a test for things I did not have matching domains for. Surprisingly they got a little traffic and produced 2 whole sales. Soooo, a few years back it did not make much sense for me because my network of daily updated EMD hubs were rocking. Because of recent se changes I am thinking about it again.

I mostly just link to them from the footer area of the free sites. They are more there for SEO purposes - to make the domain seem bigger & more organized (if that makes sense)

This make a sense, comon design would be also great. Despite this fact I don't belive, that this action can bring any reasonable traffic (when we stay focused on free sites).

I'm afraid that we can count additional traffic in promiles, I simply built it because I donť like a mess on my sites. Regarding sales, 3-10 per year seems to be easily achievable. But please keep in mind, that the oldest hub is 2 y.o.

Before some time I updated almost daily (especially in the start), now I'm adding 2-6 new free sites each month.


The common point of these sites is (as you certainly guess) maximize profit in a link list field.
