wtf!!!

[Xallow]

I submit a site a day atm, and apparently a lot of LL's find it fun to only allow 1 link every 24 hours...... 1 Link every day, GREAT, that is fine by me, but a link every 24 hours is just ridiculous, I have changing work hours, I cant submit at the same time every day, or even the same time period, but I can submit 1 site every day... sometimes it will be in the morning, sometimes in the evening, but if I can only submit 1 site a day... I will only submit 1 site a day!!!!!! and it cant be that a hard to change the script that checks when this email ( I am assuming that is what is checked) last submitted from hours to days

this is bugging the hell out of me

[plateman]

there are no setting on my script that changes the time, you sub a site and you gotta wait 24hours from that time to sub again

[ronnie]

Pretty common rule.

You're banging your head against a wall Xallow

The rules are in place for reasons...the scripts are coded as such for those reasons. Expecting link list owners to adapt to your submit schedule just isn't going to happen.

You want the traffic...it's up to you to adapt to the rules

[JustRobert]

I think you may have started this thread a little harsh. Owners of linklists run their site the way they want to and why not its theirs.

Might of been better to ask if they could change their scripts nicely because you submit at different times just as I do. I personally wish that they could just set their scripts, if allowed, to 12:01 am for a new day. As plateman stated, he can't. This way if I submit one on Monday at 8pm I could submit one on Tuesday at 11am with no problems. That sure would make my life a little bit easier when I do consecutive days.

With that said you just learn to deal with it and move forward. Idea, just post one every other day and there is no problems. I have done this. Or just find more places to submit to, mirror your site and submit to that group on the inbetween days. This way you feel like your submitting every day. Find the LL's that allow 2 a day and that could help as well.

Hope that helps.

[Xallow]

I might have been a bit harsh, I accept that, and if that is just the way things work then fine, I will have to deal with it, I was just wondering because it would make my submitting a hell of a lot easier if it was just 1 evert "date" if you take my meaning

[Torn Rose]

so 11:59PM June 11 2006 and 12:01AM June 12 2006 is 2 seperate days?

[JustRobert]

Torn,
I believe your question is directed to me and quite frankly I have questioned it as well. Its what I think is a grey area.

In one sense yes it is 2 different days because 11:59pm would be the 11th of June and 12:01am or just 2 minutes later would be the 12th of June. At least thats how it would be on a birth certificate.

In the other sense no because it looks like someone is trying to get 2 posts in and approved probably in the next days approval because most have probably called it a night.

The only thing is that someone would not have posted anything at least 24 hours before and could not post for another 24 hours after. With only 7 24 hour periods in a week they could only post 7 sites in that same week so it still kind of works out the same in the end.

Like I said earlier, the LL owner has the right to run their site anyway he or she feels. If they are gracious enough to post one of my sites and that LL gives good traffic than I am willing to play by their rules. Heck, if greenguy decided you could only post a site to LOR every other day I would still post to him because I like his traffic.

[ronnie]

Think you have to stop and realize why LL's have this rule. If there was no limit, how many MORE sites would be submitted. If you ran a LL you probably would have the same rule and be glad you did..

I dont think it's a matter of running it how they want and tough nuts to you wheither you like it or not.

I'm with Xallow on this one.

One a day is heck of a lot easier than 1 every 24h. Before when I was submitting, I submitted 1 site at 10am, next day I started at 10:30-11am, next day 30-60 minutes later and so on. Just to be on the safe side (since some days I submitted slower than other days if someone had changed a recip or something), but that meant I had to skip 1 day a week just to get back to 10am.

If you go by 1 a day, sure you can submit 2 sites with 2 minutes in between. But you can only do it once, unless you want to wait almost 2 days to do it again. And you can still only submit 7 sites a week.

[Linkster]

Some scripts check with the 24 hr rule, some check with the server time for a new day(like mine), but then you would be running into the times based on the servers time zone which would be very different for most of the LLs - so it wouldnt really make that much difference whether they use the 24 hr rule or not.

[Surfn]

This is why I allow two submits a day so I don't have to listen to this particular whine...

Yea, it's a non-issue with me too since I actually allow up to 3/day. And my script doesn't have any time clock anyway...so no biggie.

Only reason I responded was the tone of the first post had that flavor of 'change things for me' kinda thang, and I was trying to let Xallow know that he was

No no, I don't expect anyone to change anything for me, was just making an observation and hoping to bring up a debate about it, and I got what I wanted out of it, it might have been a bit harsh, but I was pretty annoyed when I was typing it(and maybe a bit drunk) and then things tend to come out a bit more harsh than intended

Yeah... but, is that two every 24 hours or two every calendar day?

(the whine doesn't end, it only alters)

Ahh...gotcha! Yup, that evil alcohol will do things like that to ya

Hang in there Xallow...it can take a while to get up to speed on free sites, but you'll get there

[Beaver Bob]

haven't been submitting lately, but its pretty pointless to bitch about rules if you ask me. You are the one who wants their traffic for free

[Sexvilly]

I created same thread a few days ago... my problem was - I submit 1 free site/every day, same time but some days I need to send it 30 mins earlier and couple scripts don't allow me to do this, which means one day lost and I have a back log of not-submitted freesites which I never seems to submit, 'cause tommorow is another free site.

so what's the point of 24 hours a day restriction?

- not let to submit more than one free site a day? then set script to 20 or even 23.30 hours.

- fuck submitters brain and set it to 24 sharp?

anyway, it's not critical at all, know only two lists from 126 I submit to with stupid scripts

Exactly. Happens to me too. Fact is, often I end up submitting six sites a week, rather than seven because of the delays.

I agree that the original post was out of line in its tone and manner. That said, I don't like the "why don't you shut up and be grateful that we're even listing your sites" approach. I would like to hope that LL owners don't consider listing FS some huge favor they are doing to submitters. With all due respect, I am not leeching on anyone's traffic. I see it more as a symbiosis. Submitters provide LL's with quality content for their surfers, not to mention traffic and PR back to the LL. Idealy, this should be a win-win situation, or it would not exist

[RedCherry]

I had two link lists yesterday that I ran into this because I had submitted late the night before...but they both send a ton of traffic, so I don't complain. I just went to dinner, came back, and submitted my site then. Yea, I'll just have to wait until later today, and the next day, etc but I usually take 1 day off a week from submits, so I get back on track then.

The sites I ran into last night, send so much traffic, I'd imagine they would be flooded with submits if they didn't have that rule.

[Sexvilly]

from Big Ones, Penisbot have this in the script, but it's set to 20 hours I think. so even if in case of emergency I couldn't submit a freesite in the evening, I can submit it early morning then next day another freesite 4 hours earlier, then again untill I get to my usually evening time and I don't lose a day...

[Simon]

They're not the only ones. Some other LL owners have posted about using the 20 hour setting.

If you're really committed to maximizing your submitting, and don't mind work a swing schedule, you could probably submit almost two and a half extra months worth of free sites to LL who use the 20 hour rule.

The question is, would that give you an extra 20% in annual income too?

I can see why the one-per-day rule is very necessary for the big LL's, but they would acheive the same if the script were somehow to detect one submission per calendar day, and it would make it easier on submitters. Just something to think about, no biggie, I guess.

I agree, ofcourse they need to limit it, and that is just fine, that is great actually, or I would be doing nothing but building sites, but as you said 1 site/calendar day would be great, since it would allow you to submit 2 sites 2 minuts apart, and then have almost 48 hours of not submitting and then you could submit 2 more or some thing like that, or if, as in my case, you have a full time job and this is just on the side,(and the job has changing working hours), you wouldnt get "behind schedule" because you couldn't be at your computer submitting at the same time as you were the day before.

Hope all that made sense, I am tired, just got off work and it is 5 in the morning here
