What Pisses You Off With Link Lists & Free Sites?

Licker4U · 2007-08-20, 02:46 AM

Definitely a 24 hour window for submits would be great! Midnight to midnight would work for me.

And puuuuleaze, if any link list script sends an e-mail that my submission was received, please, please turn that feature off! After I hit the submit button the next page says my submission was received! It's redundant to send me an e-mail saying the same thing. I submit to 45 link lists and after submitting I have to go and delete 30 or so e-mails that tell me what I already know, that my submission was received. All I want is an acceptance/rejection e-mail, and if you have a heart, a reason for rejection. If it's something minor, like I put the wrong recip, let me re-submit that same day and not deny the submission because I've already submitted in the last 24 hours. (Most allow a re-submission that day but I've run across a few that don't)

And for you holier-than-thou-my-shit-doesn't-stink link lists that won't list sites because you don't like the recip grouping, go suck an egg. Yeah, I've kissed you ass and moved things around to get listed, but it sucks. I hate you and I hope the bird of paradise molt's in your cornflakes.

One more thing, if a clickable image has I'llsuckyourdickbecauseIloveit.COM on it, it's NOT a clickable thumb. It's a sponsor provided image that I've used in place of a banner. I don't think any surfer is going to see that clickable image with the site name on it and think clicking it will give them a larger image to look at. Cookie cutter banners from sponsors are boring so I like to use an image instead.

I know it will never happen but JS offers sooooo much for free sites that can make them stand out and grab the surfers attention and get away from the tedium of the normal 4 page free site. Maybe a trusted submitter account where JS is allowed? If a trusted submitter ever uses JS for anything shady, ban them for life with no appeals.

I'm drunk so I'm going to bed...

Hee Hee! In Vino Veritas

I totally agree about JS. I mean, jeeze, no counters because they use JS?
No iframes for my best selling sponsor beacause they use JS? They use it because that's the best way to SELL their service and make both of us money!

No JS seriously cramps my style and cuts my income from what it could be. When you're converting at 1/400 in a bad week and you can't use the most effective ads on freesites it sucks.

I totally forgot about the counters. I have a little script I got from Tom at TNB years ago that tells me for my sites that were found via a SE what word or phrase was used to get to my site, and it gives this info for every site that was accessed via SE's. Awstats just compiles a listing if words/phrases but doesn't tell which sites were found with which phrases.

Trey -if you went out of your way to make them LOOK LIKE BANNERS, it wouldn't be an issue. Very few people have ever been rejected for blind links by me. I don't judge linked text all that harshly. Pics are another deal because surfers are coming to your pages to click on pics. If you take a sponsor pick and merely print the domain in the corner in a small font - then it's blind as all hell. Use larger fonts. Print more than the domain name. Don't bury it in the corner.

I'm lazy

It has nothing to do with going out of my way, it's really no biggie adding text to an image. Some times I just forget to put that extra text on the images and as you know, I usually do (add text) Wait till you're an old fuck like me and you'll see your memory going to shit along with everything else that's supposed to be useful.

All my challenges have been listed:

1) 24 hr time limit, how does anyone stick to a schedule when you always have to wait over 24 hrs? Midnight to Midnight is perfect!

2) Confirmation codes I can't read and have to go back 3 times, even with a new monitor I still have to keep re-tying them. I want to let you know I am human too, just give me something easy to type in!

3) Recip Tables/Niche specific problems, I am thinking about re-vamping my system so I can stick LOR specific recip on each of his free sites but it is a lot of work for the few that have really specific niche categories.

4) LL on vacation or closed submissions for months at a time, I do everything manually so it is very difficult to remove a LL when this happens.

So to balance it out here are 4 things I like about Link lists:

1) Getting approved/declined emails and declined emails with reasons are so helpful.

2) I enjoy the amazing traffic that I get for free.

3) Getting emails from LL owners when recips change/categories update.

4) Did I mention the great free traffic?
