| Why we don't use blind submittal
engines: |
|
The results of these blind submittal promotions
leave much to be desired. You'll end up in a pile of low priority email
submittals.
(...low priority because they aren't formatted
properly, so will take the webmaster's labor... which is usually
in short supply at popular sites. Also low priority because, from the
webmaster's perspective, you didn't even take the trouble to visit
their site, look around, and figure out where your link would fit in their
scheme. Obviously they'll do the cleanest, least labor-intensive additions
first.) |
