Well, there are about a half dozen "big" gay linklists that require 50 or 60 pics.

I've subbed to them, and tracked the profitability of their traffic, and nowadays I rarely sbmit to them - because, based on my numbers, which may not apply to another builders numbers, their traffic doesn't produce _two_ standard fressites worth of sales. In fact, I was making less money from a 60 pic freesite than from a single 24 pic freesite subbed to other less demanding linklists, based on my tracking.

In fact, I've been consistently surprised at how badly the traffic from the 50/60 pic linklists performs.

These days I build two 'levels' of freesites, 24 pics and 30-36 pics. These seem to sit at the optimum point of profitability and reviewer acceptance for freesites. (as long as my selling is properly tuned.)

Every once in a while I make a few test freesites with 50-60 pics to restest the traffic quality from the 50/60 linklists - and so far, I keep reaffirming the conclusion that the traffic quality doesn't warrant that type of building.

I wasn't sure I entirely understood the point of your post Lee, but I'll continue to assert that it's selling that is the key to profitability with things like freesites and gallerys.

Altho typically this doesn't apply to hubs - a hub is usually stuctured a bit like a personal TGP, and it will contain hundreds if not thousands of items of content, just as a TGP or a linklist does.
