my point as well..
there's this link site(i won't mention the name/domain) that insists that his recip be listed toghether with greenguy's and richardsrealm's recips.. he always rejects any that doesn't follow his rules..
it's like he's being so demanding that he doesn't understand that the more he "begs" like this, just the more he's showing how desperate he is for hits himself...
anyway,
here's a sample free site of mine:
http://www.fishfusion-x.com/jasmine/
this is one of my firsts and i submitted it to 5 link sites, and it got accepted but i don't have any idea how many hits it got since i don't have a counter. but i believe the design is pretty standard. i got a few signups after it got listed so i'm guessing it came from this free site..
if any other guys here can suggest other link sites, please don't hesitate to post your own list..
