In my submitnet report last night it showed this: Submission to Aesop has failed. There are a number of reasons for submission failures. These include: The engine may be too busy to take your request at this time Your web page may not meet the criteria of the engine (missing meta tags for example) Some search engines reject submission for pages they have already listed For Alexa, Splatsearch and Aesop. I've got meta tags, is it possible I may have one too many? I have 21. I re-checked my first submitnet report and it had shown it was successfully submitted to Aesop, so that probably answers that particular site, but any ideas on the other two?
