Since I had JUST entered the business I didn't know which sponsors were hated and overused. Well, luckily / happily, one tgp wrote back in the best kind of form letter imaginable. "overused content" and I scratched my head and the lightbulb flickered on. So I changed sponsors, I bought my content as well, and started building pages again.

One sponsor I tried I didn't realize they popped exit consoles from hell. Well, the webmaster at Captainporn.net was kind enough to drop an email, probably form mail, to say that the sponsor was like that. Well, another lesson given and I of course took it seriously and dropped the sponsor.

Well, I look at my stats everynight, lol, trust me I know where every hit is coming from...when I see 8 or 10 other LL's accepting my pages as Kosher and all having the same rules basically...it doesn't exactly ring the alarms that I've done something wrong elsewhere. All it does do is lull me into that cozy false sense of security

Seriously though a generic rejection email would really be appreciated by a noob webmaster. I know most of you guys have been doing this for awhile now and maybe take it for granted that people should just know what to do...but throwing someone on a blacklist because they used a 755 pixel table instead of a 750 pixel table seems harsh. Also troubling from the fact that one of the 755 pixel table pages were accept in the past.

This blacklist is shared by more then one site? If this were just a blacklist for one LinkList...well I probably just wouldn't submit to that 1 list and move on...but since it is shared and blacklisting will effect a person well beyond this 1 site...so it would be nice if a person is notified, even if its a generic email that says "Fucktard your blacklisted"...at least it would be something.

*Mr. Blue scurries back to the land of TGP's*
i understand your feelings, thats one of the reason i posted the link, because not all linksite email the rejection, so ones in awhile check your domains and emails in that list and you will be save
