I have some questions for you.

This is what it says for this particular free site on your site.

"Shared Free Sites:
On these free sites we take the bottom ad space, which often means less than 30% of actual traffic!"

However

My id is 187879 and

Here is the front page:

okay, you have 1 link, the bottom one.

here is the second page of that site:
http://g.hostedfreesite.com/ars/tb2001/main.html/187879

there are 5 links to the sponsor. 3 of which are YOURS and NOT bottom links.

The gallery pages look correct with there being 2 links per gallery and the bottom link is yours.

Are all the sites like this? This is either a mistake or you're trying to pull one over on linklist owners. I think TRUST is the main thing here. If a LL owner uses these for their site, they need to know that you will not be changing things around, taking more than your 1 link on the bottom, etc. Because you host these, you could change them at anytime to point to your codes.

Especially the second url above. The link on the top is half my code and half yours. Of course by taking the part of the link that "makes someone click" what is the benefit for me to list it?

So please explain how the shared galleries work. Whether or not this is a mistake or what?

I only checked 2 sites. The other one seems to follow your bottom link statement.


And for those wondering where this site makes money, they charge the sponsor for creating the "shared" free sites and they charge for the bandwidth, $100 setup fee and creation of the free sites for their full packages.

edit: I posted this before I read the above reply but the questions still remain about the bottom link only being your link
