submission to link-o-rama

[jimmy_a]

Hi,

I have submitted our free site www.sexyeuroporn.com a few days ago and it has not been listed yet. I am sorry, but I submitted a wrong URL, the one without the warning page. The right one is:
http://www.sexyeuroporn.com/index2.html
Probably it has not been listed because of this. Can you please check?
The recip link is on:http://www.sexyeuroporn.com/tour_2.html
I have sent you also the login data for the members area to check the site out.
Does the site now meet the requirements to get listed?

Jimmy, exactly why would anyone want to list that site?

I see a membership site.

If you want traffic to a membership, you need to pay for it.

Alex

[jimmy_a]

so you think all free membership sites on link-o-rama paid for the listing?

[RawAlex]

Let's see, 75 cents per signup:

About $1 per free signup:

yeah, I suspect so.

Check to see the links. If they have link codes in them (ie: not just a link but have a referal code in them) then you are looking at a paid link.

Let me rephrase the question: Why would greenguy want to give you signups for free?

Alex

because it gives value for the visitors of Link-o-rama. Maybe I am wrong, but a Linklist should give quality links to the people who look for free porn. Maybe it would be a good idea to extend the submission rules: membership sites will be accepted only if you pay for it.

Jimmy, have you thought about an affiliate program? This is how you 'pay' for your listing at a Link List.

[jimmy_a]

Thanks Jel, but I think it will not work, because my site is 100% free and I do not want to pay for a sign-up. Or do you mean to have affiliate banners or links from paysites on my site, so if someone signs-up then for this paysite and he came from Link-o-rama GG will get paid for it?

[Jel]

It's free? Hang on I need to take another look.

[Jel]

OK, I'm a little lost now. What is the purpose of this site? Is it to upsell inside the free members area to other paysites? A way to collect email addresses? What is it you are hoping to accomplish with this site?

[jimmy_a]

yes it is really free. The purpose of that site is to collect traffic and build a strong members community. It is a long-term project. If the community is big enough I will sale this traffic.
So even for free membership sites you can only get listed if you pay for it or to have an affiliate program?

[RawAlex]

Jimmy, don't try to list your "free to join" site... make sites that FEED your free join site. Make more standard free sites and promote your free join site with them.

People are paying $.75 to $1.50 per free join now, so it is unlikely anyone will list you just for fun. It's the way it goes.

I would suggest you go out there and look at the models used by other for free sites.

OK I got you now Jimmy, in that case then it's as Raw Alex has advised, build some proper feeder sites to build traffic to that.
Simplified, a feeder site (a.k.a. free site)is a warning page, leading to a mainpage, leading to 2 galleries of no less than 10, and no more than 16 pics on each.
That's simplified mind you, so take a look at what gets listed and take a gander at the rules at a few places :)
Good luck with your project |shake|
