Cleo - strange rejection

[ClickBuster]

Here's what I just received

* Banner looks like a clickable thumb on main page.

Does the attached banner really looks like a clickable thumb?

EDIT: There's no other banners on the main page

It would be much better if you posted the url of the site.

[ClickBuster]

Just sent you a PM

[Cleo]

I have PMs turned off.

I'm not the one that originally reviewed your site so I'm not really sure why.

The animated gif banner on your main page looks like clickable thumbs in one of its animations so maybe it was stuck on that animation as they sometimes do.

I probably would have declined that site for using video grabs as stills.

[ClickBuster]

I don't have any idea what are you talking about...

1. The banner is not looking like thumb
2. These're not video grabs

This is crazy. I was going to say much more, but am going to keep it to myself and just continue submiting. You're not going to list me right? Just let me know please

[Cleo]

You asked me a question and I gave you a honest answer.

The one on the index page has an animation frame that looks like thumbs.
I wonder why some sponsors have gone to using so many of those types of banners All they need to do is make them look like not thumbs, lol.. like a thick border around all of them, or a click here across them or something. I mean heck, nobody is going to sit here and look at the pics in a banner anyway, so why waste jpeg style images in a gif banner? Ah well.. these are the questions of our time, lol.

[Cleo]

The banners that look like clickable thumbs has gotten out of control.

I'm sure that they have a good click ratio but only because surfers think they are going to see a bigger pic so I doubt they do much for your bottom line.

Making it look like you can Click Here for something when it is only an illusion helps no one.

The pics are very good video grabs so they might get accepted or maybe not depending on the niche and how many submits I've been getting to it.

I agree with Cleo. The banner looks like thumbs if the animation stops. May be the reviewer didn't wait to see the animation.
And Clickbuster, you are right in saying "am going to keep it to myself and just continue submiting"

Now, here're my stats for Cleo since I'm submiting sites (about 1 month):

mysql> select domain, sum(raw), sum(`unique`) from stats_referer where domain like '%cleo%' group by domain;
+-----------------------------------+----------+---------------+

Cleo, your uniques are exactly 0.0012213246221986786150473079356671 of the total uniques that hit my sites.

Now, in the attached file you will find my stats for the site with the thubms-like banners ONLY FOR TODAY (it was submitted yesterday).

[Cleo]

If you are unhappy with my LL then maybe you should not be submitting sites to me.

Would you like me to delete your account for you?

[ClickBuster]

Were you really expecting me to submit to you after this?

You know what?

Nevermind.

I could say much more, but I'm going to keep to myself.

I don't want to sound rude, but you got issues.

Instead of bitching and moaning that doesn't do anything for anyone. Think about if this is the way you want to conduct business? Cause I can tell you one thing. You're not only ruining your chances with Cleo, you are probably ruining your chances with many people here. Who want a submitter that goes nuts over NOTHING?

Food for thought.

ClickBuster, this board is a pretty tight community. Getting into a pissing contest with one webmaster might hurt you submitting with others. Sometimes, silence is priceless.

|shocking|
So happy i paid attention to the OTB segment on "Silence is Golden"

[ClickBuster]

Cleo,

No hard feelings, I just felt beeing kicked in the balls, that's all. I won't submit to you anymore because I don't want any troubles like this one to happen again. Although you're a great person to speak with. Sorry about the whole thing.

Guys, you did a great and honorableg thing here backin up Cleo like this.

[Cleo]

ClickBuster all I did was tell you why I thought your site got rejected.

I build and submit something almost every day. I also get my stuff both accepted and rejected every day.

If someplace lists most of my submits then I keep on submitting to them. If they don't then I take them off my list and move on.

What I don't do is tell them how to run their site or criticize them or their list.

[ClickBuster]

Understood. Again, I'm sorry.

[Chop Smith]

ClickBuster,

|cool| for you taking it standing like a man. We all have those ranting days.

[Cleo]

Yeah we all have bad days.

Let's just move on.
