Link Lists - Sucking Suckers?

[bert2000pt]

My 2 cents to this discussion.

Being new to the free sites "game", I read all LLs rules and, in a first stage, I tried to make different sites matching different rules. Naturally, this was really a pain !

Second stage, use the standard basic rules for all sites and LLs:
- warning page, tour page, 2 galleries
- 3 links per page
- no new windows
- no consoles
- no fpa

Even so, I got sites accepted in some LLs and not in others.

Some sent rejection mails, some didn't, some I asked in this board and got some interesting answers as, for instance, sites rejected because I'm using same template.

Reading through this thread I have to wonder:
If LLs get so many submits each day from different webmasters WTF does it matter if I'm using the same layout?
I'm sure other webmasters will provide the variety LLs require.

Another interesting reason for rejection was that I had my galleries thumbs surrounding the sponsor's banner.
Come on, people, I'm not building free sites to make you happy, I'm doing it to make MONEY.

Anyway, back to main point.
Why can't you LLs guys use THE SAME submission rules? I'm sure it won't be hard to reach a standard basic set of rules that everybody can use.

Furthermore, why not use the same "trusted submitter" thing as TGPs do? It would be much easier to check the sites and send mails if some don't follow the rules.
ie, Cleo was kind enough to point me to a site were I had forgotten to check a 2257 link opening in a new window. I corrected the error and site was accepted right away.
(Thanks Cleo).
Naturally, you would need an option to let new webmasters apply to "trusted" status.

I try to work clean and have "partner codes" to many TGPs I submit to, within my niche. I do the same with my free sites so I'm sure I wouldn't have any problems getting "trusted".

Bottom line, we all want to make $$$ so let's work together and get rich
