Hey

Yes, its sometimes a major PITA to follow everyones rules.
Thats why i have my own blacklist along with with my submit list. Whats that? I have a list of link lists that i will never submit my free site to - for dfferent reasons, mainly that they have gone to great 404 in the sky, but many have rules so unnaceptable that i DONT want to bend over and follow them. . For example there are few who demand their recip on the free site you submit AND your main page i.e. www.domain.com (and in a good place) - gimme a break - if they dont put a link to MY domain on top of their site in font size 7, bold - sorry, no can do. Another one says no more than 10 sites from one domain - i have to buy a new domain just for you? Take a walk.
Some recips are just out of this world, talk about people with eye disabilities, 450x300 or something like that...
BTW, my blacklist is way longer than the submit itself...

Lately been having problems with grammar. Ok, i admit, english is not my first language, and not even second. But, i was kinda good at it, when i was in school and university, but hell, i dont remember that words needed to start with a capital letter, except those for first word in sentence, and those that are names of people, places and few others. "I" also should be written with capital, i just hate to push shift everytime, lol
But when it comes to sites descriptions and titles, it beats me - some say CaPiTaLise, some say don't capitalise...

Why i do LLs at all? Its the longivety of traffic. Once listed, site stays for a good time in LLs archives, and sends tho a small, but targetted traffic, also, incoming links help with SEs. I do TGPs as well, though on small scale, traffic just drops from those in short time. But thats the whole another discussion

Bottom line is - no one forces you to submit on any particular LL - if you get declined too often - either discuss it, or drop it. There are LOTS of places you can submit your site, and it will be taken with pleasure

My 2¢ on the matter...
