Why are you waiting for someone to contact you when you have the information right before you?

Check your stats. Be proactive and check for yourself whether a LL is listing you or not...if they're not, drop 'em. If they're a big linklist that you want to be on, post and ask the reason why you're not getting listed.

Instead of blindly submitting and waiting for someone to contact you check your stats and know where your hits are coming from...most LL's will accept or decline you max in about a week. Submit a page, check your stats daily, keep submitting...repeat process...within a month's time you'll know who's accepting you, who's not, and where your best traffic is coming from.

Hello Mr.Blue
First off, I totally agree with what you are saying.
Second off, I am going to ask you the ultimate newbie question.
Where exactly am I checking these stats?
My sponsor stats only show my own refering pages, and I am not supposed to be running a counter on the free web sites.
What am I doing wrong?

He is saying to check your stats on your server, your host should provide some kind of stats. AwStats is one of the better ones and shows more referering urls.

Thanks Mr.Blue, Thanks Ronnie. Thanks to all of you who contributed and helped me.

Now, as I sit here and bang a 2 x 4 over my newbie head, I remember some kinda a famous quote about not being able to see the forest for the trees.

Thanks to all of you that fly in helicopters.
