Post your submission page here.
Occasionally I'll search for new sites to add to the submission database, but I'm hesitant, most of the time it isn't worth it. I add 40 new sites, and two weeks later, 70% of them will be fucked up. Problems associated with upgrading a submission database...
1. You submit one site, come back the next day, and find that you're banned for absolutely no reason (European webmasters are the absolute worst for pulling this shit).
2. You add the recip code, add the link to your submission list, fill in all your details, hit submit.... and get an error 500. Or you hit submit, and you get "banned html" for no reason at all (they probably banned the word "and" or something). You mail them, and never get a reply. Or you hit submit to find that your fucking PAID host is banned (!).
3. You hit submit, and it's one of those "use this unique recip code - you send us 1 visitor, we'll send you one back" sites... and now you have to add/modify every single page with a stupid unique recip code.
4. You add their site to your submission list, upload their recip image, link them, make and submit 1 site/day... and after 2 weeks, the link list is gone and has been replaced by an FPA. Or, you add them to your submission database, come back two weeks later, and they're now "only accepting partner submissions". You apply for a password, and never hear anything back.
5. You add 20 new link lists to your submission database, come back a week later, and find that 18 of them are now wanting you to upload preview thumbnails. One site wants them to be 88*88 pixels, one site wants them to be 100*80 pixels, one site wants to hotlink a 90*90 thumb from your server, another one wants thumbnail that is 50*70 pixels...
Advantages of adding new sites to a submission database
1. You'll find maybe 1 new source of (long term) traffic. Even if they send only 4 visitors/week.
