It’s a waste of time to submit to hundreds or thousands of directories that never approve any links.

All in all, I think using it was a waste of time. I could have just manually submitted to 50 directories and got the same result.

The fact is that it doesn’t take much to get on this ban list, and when some blog owner has decided that you belong there? Well there isn’t anything that you can do. Akismet won’t answer your requests. It’s a complete missuse of power from bottom to top.

In my view, Akismet has the same status as all the crappy spam filters we see in email accounts. You still have to treat the spam folder as your inbox. Important mails end up in the spam folder every other day. What’s the point of a spam folder when you still have to treat it as an inbox and sort through all those mails in order to not miss any wanted mails?

The same applies to Akismet. Even on the local level the blog owners doesn’t have any power to white list a domain. What I mean is as simple as follows. If a blog owner finds a comment in the spam folder which he doesn’t think belong there and white list it, the domain will still be black listed even on the local level. So the next time that person comments on the blog it will still count as spam, even though the owner has explicitly marked it as okay on his blog.

Also as a side not you really should not be submitting your sites to search engines anymore, drive some high quality backlinks and you will get indexed within hours instead of waiting the months that submitting could take.

Also gsa does not really result in any meaningful useful backlinks, let alone high PR, high Traffic dofollow link some tools on the market today.

I wrote akismet and no response. What can I do ?

On the other hand, I’ve also used another alternative called RefererX. Traffics are good and what best is, it converts well. Personally PRStorm only capable of doing 30% of what refererx are capable of. PRStorm also fail to refer any webscript driven recent referer widget. Not with RefererX, luckily..
