Less Site Links for More Money?

[attis]

I thinks it's better to offer surfers a wider choice. I'd rather come back to a site that offers a bigger number of links for me to surf around, than one that only links to just a few sites.

Also if you offer less links, your content (and those few links) need to catch the surfers attention or he's gone. If a surfer hits your site and there isn't something he likes, chances are that he might find something interesting in your blogroll. So I'd say that having a variety here is a plus.

From my experiences there are always a couple of sites that sell very well and of course it might have it's advantages to just promote them. But why not grabbing the odd sale from other site as well, expecially if it doesn't cost you anything extra. If it only results in a payment every year or so, it's still money I wouldn't pass on.

I think there are better ways to push the good selling sites than just dropping the underperforming.

That's a very valid point about ways to push the better performing sites. (And if you have some tips about that, I'd love to hear 'em!)

And those odd checks that show up ... it's kinda like Christmas! I figure it's "bonus" money to take and use on a nice time going out and about with Che'. :convertible:

We try to offer surfers hot news about website updates. Sites who update regularly, offer promo material about their updates or maintain an update schedule on the website are in general the best sellers anyway. They get automatically pushed to the top because we add their promo stuff regularly. As far as links and galleries are concerned, whenever a site updates it goes to the top und wanders down consecutively until it updates again and returns to the top.

If a site doesn't update at all or doesn't tell us about it in any form, well it stays at the very end of the list, thus getting less traffic and less sales. We're still promoting them to grab a sale now and then, but the better performing sites receive more attention and we spend more time in promoting them. It's a simple system and works pretty well for us.
