To anyone that doubts the power of linklists, just do a search for "porn" in google and look at the top 4 sites. All linklists.
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&i...e=UTF-8&q=porn
A ridiculous amount of traffic comes from a top 3 "porn" listing in google. Trust me. Almost any decent search term will bring up link lists in the top 10. Why? Because we list all sorts of sites (free, AVS, pay) and those sites are hand picked for quality. Those same quality sites get their own SE listings and in turn bring us back quality, relevant traffic. The SEs see this relevance and rank us favorably in the listings.
Take some time and build free sites. I promise you they will make WAY more money in the long run than any TGP listing could ever bring in. Keep in mind that many linklists will keep your site listed forever. Or at least a very long time. That will bring you sales for months and months into the future. Not a few days like a typical TGP listing.
If you have any questions regarding link lists or free sites, please leave them here and I'll be happy to help you out.
