Once again, a procedure I put into place 4 or 5 years ago gets called out
Long story shot - sending "accepted" emails means you also have to send "rejected" emails & the time it was taking me to sort thru all the replies to these was put to better use by having a board where people could come & ask (and the "noreply" email addy doesn't because then you get people that reply even when it says "DON'T REPLY" & they get pissed because you didn't reply back to them)
Build sites that fit the rules & you'll get listed.
Not sure? Look in your stats. Look on my "newsites" page 2 days after you submitted. Not listed? Come here & post. It's very simple
I really love that all these rules & procedures that I put in place over the last 8 years or so are thought of as a clever way for me to get more recips or free traffic. Believe me, I'm not that bright
Bottom line is it's more time efficient for me to do it on the board & I have no plans of changing around my set up because some people don't like it. Don't like the rules, don't submit - it's just that simple.
