First time submitter

[gnarpen]

Hello!
A good start for me, first day posting on this board and i have the same post in two threads (sorry)

I have a couple of freesites i want to submit but i remember a thread here about whois and privacy but i dont remember how i did when i bought my domain, i have tried to recall my password with my domain provider but a have not been successful yet,
If any of those linklist´s owners are here i´m happy to give you all the info you need in a PM, and if there are any trusted Sweds here i gladly share my cellphone number if anybody want to check me out until i get the whois thing solved

So, if you would take a look at this and tell me if there is something wrong with the freesites or the submitter (me), the freesites should be alright, i bought them from Sy and i am going to continue with that until i can build my own

The bottom 3 links dont work.
The first site looks good though, You will probally have a problem with the whois.

[dif0r]

yeah you forgot the "L" *.htm ->*.html
but the sites look Ok to me, would accept them at my LL

[gnarpen]

Thanx guys!
Nothing wrong with the url length or value and such?
how do i know about my status in whois? i call my domain provider again tomorrow about my password to my account, but are there any other way to check my status?

Did you have CrazySy build those? They look great.

You appear to be using a WHOIS protection service to keep your identity and home address hidden. No one blames you, but some link lists won't list you due to that.

[gnarpen]

Yep, i bought them from CrazySy, i am dumber than a donkey when it comes to computers and softwares so it is going to take a while for me before i can build my own. With a lot of patience and help from Rowdy (ANS) i made my first gallery last weekend.
take a look and you understand why i buy my freesites:

I solved the whois thing today, the updating of my account may take up to 48 hours
I did not know about the importance of the whois when i got the choice to go privat

You buy your freesites because you make galleries. CrazySy was a good bet.

There is nothing wrong with that site Make them simple and by the rules that's the key.

It seems to be more of a tgp3 gallery than anything else.

Looks like a TGP3 to me as well, luckily there are places to submit money making designs like that

Among others.

Thank you guys!
But i built that because i needed to learn about the tech.stuff, like file management, ftp, linking and such, i have never done this things before (i´m an old potter for God's sake!) so i built it for my self as a learning project and i made it as i wanted such pages to look like when i was a surfer hunting for a new paysite to join.

I have never heard of TGP3 so i tried your link and visited "sleazepleaze" and if you think my simple gallery fit´s in that place i will try to submit it later today

[Pagan]

Nice work, gnarpen!! Rowdy is good folk and will help you so much. Of course, the people here are no slouches either.

Just remember -- a freesite is 2 galleries (or 3 maybe) with a warning page and a nice little menu page. You get more places to promote the site, and show off your writing skills.

[licktracy]

Hoping that could work hand in hand with you in the future.

I manage to get rid of the Whois protection yesterday,
is there anything else to think about BEFORE i start submitting?
what is this "trusted submitter" i come across in some places? how do i become "trusted"?
and another thing, how do you keep track of where and when you submit? what template and content you used and such?

I did submit one of the freesites to one place before got aware of the whois problem, i did not get any rejection mail but i looked at the stats and it says 3 uniques so i don´t think it was listed, it would be interesting to know if there was a problem i can correct for future submitting.
the linklist is FreeSiteXXX, do you know where i can find the owner?

Here you go:

http://www.greenguysboard.com/board/...sted+submitter

It's allows submitters to use less restrictive rules, and several list have added this option. I don't know if it's a good option for a new submitter...at any rate, check out this thread to see who's accepting these type of sites:

Thanx!

And that would be my next question, how do i get trusted when i live in another part of the world and nobody knows me and will probably never do?

You can build up trust and get to know people on this board. It doesn't matter where you live...I've never met anyone here in person but have a good relationship with lots of people here.

Your sites look good, but It's hard to get people to do a full pre-review before you submit. If I were you, I would go ahead and start submitting to several sites so you can get some full reviews...and if you get rejected you can find out why here. Link-O-Rama and others have a thread for that purpose. Good luck!

[dif0r]

Start submitting some quality sites that follow the basic rules so that your nickname will get known by the reviewers and then after some time apply for a trusted submitter account...

+hang around on GG&J's board

[gnarpen]

Thank you, that sounds reasonable
and i will try to hang around as much as i can because i need to improve my english before i start building my own freesites, cant have pages filled with misspellings and bad grammar

[Pagan]

We did a "Pay It Forward" post last December, and I volunteered to help with English for the non-English speaking site builders. That offer is still open if you (or any others wish). I won't be able to respond in Swedish, but I can and will certainly help correct any typos or syntax errors I do see. No strings... these guys have helped me a lot and it is one little thing I can do to repay them.

[gnarpen]

Thank You Again Pagan!!!
As a newbie on this board those "Pay It Forward" threads are priceless
it helps me figure out who to turn to with specific thoughts when i know who is good at different things.
I would appreciate a thread where all you skilled old farts tell us newbies what you are good at, i´m not looking for free favours just who to turn to
