Basically, most of the LLs out there (including mine) will decline any site that looks like it's set up to trick a surfer. Every LL owner has a few pet peeves in their rules, but as physio said the rules at the big LLs like link-o-rama pretty much reflect what's become the standard. I can confidently say that if GG will list a site, it complies with all my rules.

Link lists can send you traffic because they generate it, and bookmarkers are the bread and butter. If I link to a site that tricks my bookmarking surfer and pisses him off, that's traffic that every site on my list just lost forever.

Now, I'm not saying you were intentionally trying to trick surfers, but based solely on the design of the sites you posted I'm forced to come to the conclusion that that's what will happen. This is why you're getting constructive criticism instead of a beating |rasta|

Best of luck, and I'd be happy to take another look at your sites after you make some revisions.
