Again, how is it different than StartupLister or some CSS gallery submission service?<p>Those sites aren&#x27;t selling links and neither am I. We&#x27;re just filling out submission forms that need to be reviewed and rejected or accepted. And most of those sites use nofollow or obfuscated links and that&#x27;s fine. The goal is to have BetaList--or whatever--showcase your site...not game Google.<p>So why is my site getting chewed out, but StartupLister (and others like it) is celebrated as a wonderful resource by HN and Reddit users (hence my footnotes)?<p>I honestly don&#x27;t understand why people are struggling with this. I keep asking simple questions and I get answers that completely disregard everything I&#x27;ve said.<p>This will be my last comment on the matter.
