My latest freesites have been accepted, the ones I submitted before I started this thread are still floating around in your review queue I guess.

i keep getting new ones and older ones accepted, so i know it's being updated..
:)

Yes, I'm accepting a mix of old and new in the queue while I get caught up. Still around 1000 sites in the queue, but I'm doing my best to get everything done!

Today I received this: "Sorry to reject the site, but I've had these new recip links online for a while and I need to go ahead and make sure everyone starts using them. Google is cracking down on repetitive anchor text and hurting sites. So before I get hammered, I want to start mixing it up."

Site was submitted on 11-19-10 (I keep a spread sheet) which was a month before your change |huh

It's OK, it is your site. Just giving you and others a heads up

Not trying to add fuel to the fire but this statement-
"Google is cracking down on repetitive anchor text and hurting sites."
Is not true in my opinion.
Recip links are highly devalued now compared to a few years ago.
You might want to hit some of the major seo forums and try to strategize a well formulated backlink plan.

If I come across rude im really not trying to be, I would just like to see the changes you implement have a positive effect for the long term.

Sorry about that... I'm trying to hit up site owners "just once" with that note. My apologies if you've seen it before. I'm very close to getting through the old queue.

Yes, I agree that they are devalued, but they also see mass amounts of the same inbound anchor text as un-natural (which it is) and the algorithmic side of their penalty machine can take over.

Have you received payment from Movieroom for November?

Good to have you back!

A site I submitted last week was accepted, but I did not receive a confirmation email. Also, several sites I submitted over the last few months have not been listed, but I'll be patient :)

I'm going through the queue on my own these days so it's a little slower. Rest assure that I'll get them all in over time though.

thanks for the submissions.

I'm also looking for good quality trades if anyone is interested.
