    That's what it says on my account but I can't figure out how to "activate" it. Any tips? The auto-validation also failed even though I have the ad showing up at the bottom of the page. The number of pages seems to be correct though.

    Any help is appreciated.

    I put the /index.htm on the end of the url in the end of my url and it seems to say that the ads are enabled now but now it's not showing any pages :p

    When I do that and auto-validate it says:

    Account not not yet activated. | Site failed automatic validation as of 2004-10-04 (make sure URL and site type is correct - if everything is correct, it may require manual validation). Auto Validate Now

    As far as why it wouldn't validate without the index.htm is because you don't have the ads site-wide. So by specifying the index.htm, it thinks you only have ads on that one page (and which is why your weight was dropped).

    Ahh ok. I'm in the process of uploading all of the pages now. So once I do that I should be able to autovalidate with the http://plumbing.getthescoop.info/ ?

    Yep... as long as it's site-wide, you should be fine. :)

    Excellent! Thanks for the help. One last question - is it going to get all the pages to my site daily or does it just do spot checks?

    /sigh

    No, although I suspect someone is (once again) trying to trash me for some reason. It happened last year in december when some dumbass posted links to my home business site in a bunch of comments pages.

    Dealt with the fallout from that for several weeks.

    coming from a bunch of different IPs, so there's no way i can prove it is or isn't you, i guess. he must be using zombie machines. he's blocked now, but still eating up server resources... :(
