free site builders
 

Is it good or bad in your opinion to design the free site to look similar to the sponsor's tour page? (colors, text, links, etc.)

ergh.....why should that be bad.....?
I don't do free sites, but it must be similar like with galleries, so they should match the sponsor tour....

Honestly, i can't think of a reason that would make it a bad idea....

you can only submit the same template so many times...so you have to vary it up a bit.

Yes, but you can have different templates ( with different graphics and / or layout ) but still matching the sponsor tours.

yes, it is important so that you dont shock the surfer too much.

:eek7

it's good.
helps convertions a lot.

but like someone already said, you need to change your templates regulary - or LL owners will stop listing your sites.

plus it help in search engine game too (different templates)
