That's cheating!

[Jim]

Write me a note useless...
I may be able to help you out.

[Jim]

You didn't think you could write that you are getting no submissions without someone helping you did you?

[Greenguy]

Jim - take it from someone who knows - if you do it this way, you will have everything except links to send the surfers to & they will not come back once the see a shell of a Link List.

Get some sites in the categories before you open - give the surfers a reason to bookmark the site & come back the next day/week.

[Jim]

I am taking your advice my friend...whoelse would I take it from?
I am just doing it a different way.

[Jim]

And, if I do do it your way, the first time the bot went out and found no recip, it would get deleted. Perhaps we could give it a few weeks of a free ride and then remove them.

Not sure yet...Sparky and I are still talking about it.

[Greenguy]

I'm sure Sparky could put some sort of "ignore" button in there so that you can not look for a recip from certain sites.

Of course, that is another reason that you should not automate everything.

..and I don't think you asked me for any advice yet - I'm just being a pest

Doesn't your program allow you to specify that a recip is not required for a specific trade? Mine does.

[Jim]

yes it does...our bot is a monster bot.
I am just going to do it differently once sparky and I talk about it a bit. I just hate to buy traffic and send it to people that have not even submitted their own sites.

[Jim]

I really wish Sparky would toot his own horn. I know that our bot is special but I don't know how it is so special. If he feels the need to tell you guys, he will.

[Jim]

If he feels it shoud be kept secret, it will be.
That is his end...mine is traffic deals and making everyone money

[Jim]

One think I know for sure...our first sponsors are going to be the sponsors on this board. After that, I will have to look at greenies list

About a week or two ago, I submitted a couple of sites to you. Don't know how far ahead or behind you are or whether you send out accept/reject emails but to this day (as far as I know) have not seen a listing.

[2msacras]

I have bad news UW, I'm working on some free sites and you're going to get some. Same thing Jim as soon as your site opens.

[Verbal]

Jim, does this mean the new Sparky script is almost ready?

I have added you to my list of places to "submit" so you should be seeing plenty of crappy, er I mean GREAT spookyx freesites soon

I agree with greenguy and I would say from my own experiance with my LL it takes at least 5 to 6 k in links to keep surfers interrested in surfing a link site and I remembering greenguy saying if your gonna buy traffic for a LL you should have your ducks in a row as your gonna loose your traffic to your trades and surfers clicking back, I have 8600 links and just now starting to do ok.. they say it takes 2 years for a LL to become anything... oh and when your up and running pm me for a link trade if you want..

I have four sites of yours listed and I don't recall ever rejecting anything from you. You should receive an acceptance email automatically each time, but I've been told by others that they don't recall receiving them.

<my piece>
Thanks for the listings.
And your other submitters are right, no acceptance/rejection email here either.

Hey Jim, for the few days before you open, how many submissions per day will you take? I assume once your rockin it will be 1 a day, but will you be taking several/day while you work on getting your categories full?

That is one of my favorite thing about brand new linklists, is being able to submit a good deal of my "old" sites ( I.E. 5-10 a day to help get the categories nice n full )

Just curious!
