If I Get Rejected Can I .........

I think one of the worst things for one's reputation is taking down your partner's link in a link exchange. I consider the recips to be an advanced form of link exchanges and treat them the same way. Like UW said, only switch to a different recip when you are 100% sure that your site was rejected.

I used to think that a rejection email is the only way to make sure. Now that I keep getting rejection emails for sites that have in fact been accepted and listed by penisbot, I don't even see that as a good enough confirmation... Bottom line is, I just almost never deal with replacing recips. I check my stats every few weeks and if a LL sends me zero or very very little traffic, I just stop submitting to them and my new FS go elsewhere. Old links stay in place though.

I do this too but every few months not weeks.

I would think that an email that says "your site has been rejected" gives you the OK to remove their link, even in Penisnbot's case (I had the same issue). I am glad I did not remove their recip, but had I done so, would I really be in the wrong given that I had written documentation that they were not listing my site?

You'd think it would. Just as I was picking on Preacher for receiving yet another Penisbot rejection last night, I got one for a site submitted weeks ago. The other few sites that I submitted during that same period have already been listed. The site they rejected has always had their new recip, so I haven't a clue as to what is going on over there. (I bet MML is giggling as he reads this. )

I think everyone agrees it's a script error by now. Old FS that have been listed and still are listed are also getting this rejection email. Don't take to heart...

Now I feel like an ass. (Yes, I know - I should always feel like an ass.) I checked my stats and I have been getting traffic to that site from PB, so you are most definitely correct. Phew. I only do a few free sites sporadically over a year and it breaks my heart to get rejected. It's really rough on the ego to get your own stuff rejected when you've been reviewing for a few years.
