I would like to see a link list that actually has CONSUMER traffic visiting it. I've wasted a hell of a lot of time submitting to link lists that are only seen by other webmasters.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've been hearing rumors that search engines are becoming less interested in sites that are only linked to bullshit link lists.

In starting a link list you obviously want to fill it with your own banners going to programs that make you money. My suggestion is to make sure you promote your site to consumers so you make money and the webmasters who submit to you see some traffic from it.

Or maybe you just like the thought of: "Getting webmasters to submit..." ;-)
