		<description>Hi Bob, 

The initial deal was for 260 article directories. I&#039;ve increased the distribution list to 300+ dirs because I know that some dirs will not approve the article. Note that I have done this without increasing the price of distribution.

Also, it has been advertise on the HOME PAGE of fastsubmitarticles that the acceptance rate is expected to be about 40%. (or close to a third like you said).

This is above the market average, which is about 25 to 30%. The reason is because we actually have a tie up with several sites so approval is a little higher.

If you go to any distribution service, you will find the approval rate to be about the same.

We advertise that we submit to 300+ dirs because that is the ACTUAL work we do, and you are paying us to do that work. Fyi, each distribution takes us 2 hrs + to complete. The rate of approval is something that you may have to accept, as it is the same across the industry.

For example, if we submit to 100 dirs, and you get a third acceptance, you get about 30 links. If we submit to 300+ dirs, you get about 90 links. 90 links, if you look at the pricing we charge, is not expensive at all.

Also, most people already know that a certain amount of articles will be rejected, so they know what to expect. Perhaps you are new to article marketing, that&#039;s why there is this unrealistic expectation. No service will give you 100% approval, even if you submit the articles yourself. 

Hope you can put things into the right perspective.

Thank you for trying out our services.

All the best to you.

		<description>Hello Darren

I&#039;m curious about something. I have used your service and find it a bit misleading.

You advertise that you will submit articles to over 350 directories.
Then, after the fact you say that only about 1/3 of the directories will actually publish the article.

To me this is false advertising. You obviously know ahead of time that not all directories will publish the articles.
It seems you use a shotgun approach. You submit all articles to all directories in the hopes that they will be published.

Telling people that you submit to over 350 directories is misleading when you know full well that a little more than 100 directories will actually publish the article.

How do you justify this?</description>
