question on freesites

[rigrunner]

i thought the idea behind freesites was to catch search engine traffic and have 4 pages pushing the surfer to your sponsor.

But a lot of the freesite pages I've checked out have tonnes of links going to porn linklists on the warning page already encouraging the surfer to go away from your content.

So err..why is this done?

for pagerank

Link lists require recips and usually require them on the front of the site along with several others. That's why if you are smart you will learn how to make your front page work for you as best you can.

free sites rock

[rigrunner]

are there any/many places that would list a freesite without the recip on the front page?

[E.Kant]

nah, why should they ?
They also want to get some traffic ...

People still make freesites? I thought those went out of style in 2001. Why not jump on the blog wagon by sticking all of those juicy freesites together and try to harness more of that SE traffic?

I am jumping on the bandwagon but i still there there's money to be made on them... Afterall it's easier to push 100 people to 10 small sites than 1000 people on one big site
