I messed up my first few time using it too... but I used it submitting to myself a bunch of times before I tried using it on others. Just don't tell anyone I'm using it too...
It really isn't for newbies.
If you're a newbie it really is in your best interest to go through all the stress of getting it right, and spending 3 hours to submit to 12 link lists completely by hand.
I don't even want to think about getting blacklisted... the nightmares would be too horrific!
