Hi,
from a newbie point of view, I submited my 2nd free site to some major LLs and it got listed at hoes, LOR (still waiting on some others) and the TGP Site based on that freesite got listed at RR TGP, porn-pics-free and few others.
So, I would say it doesn't matter if you're new as long as you do quality work and play by the rules only ALWAYS.
Hei Cleo: I meet all your requirements (but only two samples)! Can I be considered for an account? I Have paid hosting and totally open whois

It doesn't hurt to ask ,right

take care
