How many times do you submit with no listing?

Hey good peoples

This thread http://www.greenguysboard.com/board/...threadid=10663 brought a question to mind, as I wasn't listed by JK either.

How many times to y'all submit to a place that isn't listing you? I know in TGP it can take awhile, but free sites seem to be a whole 'nother story. I want to make sure I give enough time to develop a name and for sites to know I'm not a cheat, that sort of thing. But I don't want to continue to give valuable recip space to a site that isn't interested in my work either.

So what is the norm that you guys you use before deciding to give up on a site listing you?

Thanks much!
