The three biggest mistakes we see everyday on submits:
Using a free host or sponsor host - dont do it - its in everybodies rules but it seems those get "overlooked" daily
Using sponsor content - again - dont do it - a set of pics costs around $5 - remember that every LL out there has seen the content before - and some use it for their own free sites - so they are not going to list you with that sponsor content - some of the smaller LLs may "sometimes" but very few of the bigger lists will list it
Using a fake whois - dont do it - most LLs are checking that now - and its an auto ban if you are
One recommendation - dont use graphics on free sites - they are a waste of your time and a waste of advertising text space - this goes for sponsor hosted free sites as well - Graphics dont work on hosted free sites or submitted free sites - its not the same game or traffic as TGPs - but yet I see hundreds of sites everyday that look like they took over an hour to build - again its a waste of time and money to worry about graphics (do ya think we LL owners dont like graphics on free sites
)
