I dont think we are talking the same thing here - apples and oranges - the goal of the LL is to build bookmarkers - return surfer trust sells better than just about anything else out there
The free site submitter to LL owner relationship is a two way street - beneficial for both parties - the free site submitter gets free traffic obviously - the LL owner tries to provide the best qualified and quality traffic in return for your content that you list with them. While there is obviously a certain percentage of free-loaders (thats why theyre called free sites) - the LLs stand a really good chance (as does a free site maker) of converting that freeloader into a sale if they target them correctly
Part of a free site makers job is to try to take that free-loader and get him so hot that he pulls out the CC - of course that art seems to have been lost along the way based on the sites I see every day - seems templates that are made with sales text that doesnt even make sense rules now - and probably translates to much lower ratios for submitters
(just a little rant here - I tend to think when I hear all this talk about how conversions suck and the freeloaders are going up in percentage - or the way its usually said - surfers are getting smarter - is a line of crap - people just dont know how to sell anymore and it shows on their sites)
