No offense intended here TB, but you came here asking for assistance. You're getting help from some of the best in the free site/link list game. And frankly, you're pretty much arguing some of their very valid points.

I DO check whois on submissions...and I DO decline based on false whois info. You have to realize how many cheaters and scammers there are in this biz. We don't know you...nor do we know you're not one of the cheats. Believe us, UW and I are not the only ones that check whois info. Many of the large link sites do. This topic has come up over and over on this board. Do yourself a favor...search for whois on this board. Perhaps, that will convince you that no one here is just yankin your chain for fun.

Fake whois info is an instant decline. In many cases, some link sites will actually blacklist for fake whois info.

As to your sales...frankly, your numbers are too low to really know for sure yet. Hell, I'm off to a 1:8000 start to the week right now. Not normal for me, but it happens. Hopefully, within a couple days it will pick up again...and normalize those numbers.

To some extent, traffic is as important as tweaking your sales approach. You want to get listed everywhere you submit...or damn close to it! I'm happy to say my sites are accepted at every one of the sites I submit too. Yes, 100% acceptance...and yes, it took me a long time to get to that level.

I know you're frustrated that you haven't made any sales yet. This biz is not an easy...those days are long gone. But, if you start accepting the good advice you're getting and adapting...perhaps...just maybe your traffic flows will increase. Perhaps, you'll start sending 5k clicks a week to sponsors...or 5k a day...at that point, you'll be able to much better tweak your sales approach.

Right now, you need to get listed and get traffic. Please, try to accept the solid advice you're getting here instead of justifying your current methods which obviously aren't working for you.

But, that's just my humble opinion of course
