If you dont get listed do you remove the recip?

Yep, I remove/replace recips if a link list rejects my site.

I'll fix and resubmit if I know what the problem is. If I just can't get listed no matter what I remove that LL from my submit list, but rarely, if ever, do I go back and remove recips.

For the record, while I've been burning through my backlog of submissions (from 6 weeks down to 10 days, FUCK YEAH :D), I've had to decline a bunch of sites because my recip was removed before I ever reviewed the site. Food for thought :)

If my bot finds a listed site missing my recip it removes it and all sites from that submitters IP.

Build...submit...review which ones list you regularly...edit your database accordingly...but it seems like a wasted effort to go back and remove 1 recip.

I would say its not time well spent removing recips. Better to find out what you did wrong and dont do it in future. And if the site never lists you then remove them from your submit list.

NO NO lol I know some LL take time to review, thats cool with me. What I meant is getting a mail saying its rejected with no reason why. I was thinking like that what has already been mentioned here that its a waste of time to remove one recip and then have to replace it with another. But wanted to see what the norm is. I tend to go on the set it and forget it theory but just got to thinking that if someone rejects it why leave it with the possibility of sending them back traffic and the little bit of SE that would spider the site and help them with the back link for no reason. But like I said, just wondering what the norm was. I think I'm going to stay with the set it and forget it practice, unless the rejects get out of hand. I mean if you have a bunch of FS over time that can get to be a real pain in the ass to monitor that stuff. And I would think over time the traffic you would be getting to that FS would not be much being it would be way way way down the list. I do have my little excel spreadsheet with all the little reds and blues going so I for me, if it's rejected with no reason I just place the Yellow next to it meaning don't submit again.

Why not take the time to find out where you went wrong. Most of the big LLs just dont have time to be telling everyone why they were rejected but if you email them or ask on here you will usually find out why. Then you can either change what your doing to get listed or if you find the rejection reason to be unreasonable you can then stop submitting. Seems better to make an informed decision rather than just righting off potential traffic.

Thats my last resort. Surly I would ask here.

I don't remove the recip.

I don't have enough time to remove recips.
Better to see your mistakes and not to do them in the future.

Nah, even with a rejection I don't remove them...
If the reason for rejection was a major error such as a bad link or a content mistake I correct it even at the risk of scripts from other link lists seeing the change.
Figure if it is a major error the other list just hadn't gotten around to rejecting it anyways.
A minor error as long as it doen't change the html greatly I sometimes change.
Then I'll usually resubmit to the link list that rejected me.
Mostly though usually leave the sites alone once they are submitted, no sense of taking the chance of another link lists script bouncing me for html changes.

I wouldnt bother removing them. Might remove a site from the list for future submissions if they never list my sites, but I wouldnt bother removing their recip from sites already done.

The only time I ever have gone back and removed a recip was back when pornfresh was stolen so I went and took down as many of my pornfresh recips as I could find.

But normally nope never

Till now i was a big fan of 'build\submit\forget' scheme. But now going to change it. At first i'll reduce my submit list up to 20 LL's. No more dorway pages therefore it easy to manage , for instance - remove dead recips.

Same here...I never go back and remove recips. There's much more productive ways of utilizing time.

Even if a few of my sites make it into the LL, and the rest wont, I won't remove recip and not worry about giving away traffic to them, they listed my sites, that's the least I could do to give back.

Heres a lesson as to why not. A couple of the link lists that I started to submit to never seem to send and accecpt or decline, didn't look like the site was being updated etc, so I quit submitting, looking at my weekend stats, I got over 1k hits from them this weekend. Now guess its time to add them back to my submits, paitence seems to be part of the equation.

I think if you has decided to remove "dead" LL recip - do it in future templates, not in already submited.
