I agree with Licker4U's comments, especially the good will issue. I'm here for the long haul and building good relationships with link list owners is vital. What happens when those smaller link lists grow? I'd like to be able to say that I helped build up someone's business and they helped build mine.
How are they penalized? Not much will stop me from submitting my free sites,
always by hand, especially a 30 second code issue. It's not a penalty, it's a great way to get quality traffic.
Is there some new way of doing this that that will make the link list owners' lives easier? Will it make my submitting a lot more fluid?
You sound either really bitter about something or you sound like you have a product to push somewhere down the line.
Man, spending an hour and a half breaking those codes, you could have built a decent freesite in that time!
Oh, and I'm a full-time submitter, approaching 500 freesites in almost two years, very few declines, I have five children and I like Abba.
Congrats on the big 100 horney!
