Blog Directory Refusal

[ginkgo]

I created my own simple blog on my website. I did a search and found lots of blog diectories. So I submitted to some (just started doing it). Some are reviewed by people and some are not. One approved my blog. Another did not and sent this. Not including the first option, which would apply to me or should I just notify them that they are wrong. Submitting to directories does help to generate traffic to a blog, right?

Your blog has not been added to the Blog Flux Directory. Due to the amount of submissions, we cannot explain the reasons for each. Most likely it is due to one of the following:
- blog is listed more than once in the directory
- site is not a blog
- blog is offline
- blog is new (must contain 5 posts and be at least 7 days old due to excessive spammers submitting).
- site contains nudity
- site is a shill site intended to simply promote products/affiliates
- site construes something illegal

If you believe your blog should be added, please contact us (be sure to mention what your blog URL is).

My Blog Many of these want a recprical link and some want the blog to be a minimum of 3 months or 6 months.

Also I have another question. Do you know a place that will rent me a domain name (not Yahoo), even one that I already have, for no more than $10 a year and will let me do things with it like forward it to another site or let me have another server/site host the site for me?
