Free Site Linking - how do you do it?
 

For those of you who build free sites for LL's - in regard to linking your sites together to help link pop for SE's - do you link each site to a page that has all of your sites on it - or do you link to each individual site at the bottom of your warning page like a money bar?

If you do the moneybar style is there a number of sites you should stop at linking like this - like maybe 10?

thx

I personally, have 3-4 links to other related free sites, same niche, etc... and a link to a hub with all of them...

I do the 3-4 links for link pop, se spidering, and sendin traffic to a different or similiar niche.

Also put a link to your hub atleast on all of your pages, and you outta be able to get a spider in there for some fun. =)

There isn't one "right" way, there's just a bunch of decent ways, and a few great ways that people dont like to talk about.

Thanks Drewkole, so LL's don't mind if there is a "my other free porn sites" link at the bottom of every page of the freesite?

*Most* LLs don't care - matter of fact at the Montreal Cybernet Expo there was a conference with Raw Alex, GreenGuy and Mr. Marylou where they specifically addressed this. They said as long as the link went to your own stuff and wasn't a blind link to a sponsor, they didn't care - just don't overdo it. One or two links is fine.
Of course you'll get some small-time LL owners who think they're big-time that will reject you simply because of "the number of links on your page" - if they're going to be that anal just take them off of your submit list.

Make sure that in your recip table you always have a link back to your own LL or hub. Miniscule traffic that way but every hit counts, and it's spider candy.

Thanks for the info Carrie!

So when you say don't overdo it - 1 or 2 links - do you mean 1-2 links per page or only a link on 1 or 2 of the 4 page site?

Also if there is 1 link at the bottom of my pages that says "more links" or something that goes to my internal LL then is there a point in having a fake recip to the same LL?

Also what is the deal with recips - I am currently using 8 per page but I would like to use 10-12 - is there a generally accepted number like in the tgp world (3-4)?

Also a question about the linking setup in general:

I have 6 mirror entrances and 1 of them is a DMOZ entrance.

All of my sites are on the same domain.

My LL or Hub is located at the root of the domain.

What I was thinking of doing is linking the warning pages of the dmoz entrances all to each other with a moneybar to all my sites plus 1 link to my hub.

Then I was going to put a link to my hub from the 2nd page of all my freesites - none on the first page.

So two things - should I link my dmoz entrances to it's own hub which only lists the dmoz entrances or should and then also link the freesites to their own hub? or should I link the dmoz entrances and the LL 2nd pages to one hub that lists the dmoz entrances, and the freesite entrances including all 7 of it's mirror pages? or should I not list the mirror entrances on the LL?

Also what about the freesite entrance pages - should I link those to a LL or only link from the 2nd page - if so which LL - it's own or one that lists every entrance?

Thanks :-)
