We review all of the sites that are submitted. 9rules is a community of bloggers (blog network). 9rules member content is displayed throughout the 9rules site in our communities. We also have a private member area where members can interact with one another. 9rules members display the 9rules leaf on their site.
Once the round is over, the guys and I will go over the sites and hand-pick the new members. After the round is over, I will make a blog entry explaining the process and the main reasons why blogs were not accepted. Time permitting; I will answer specific questions as to why a blog was not accepted (via private email). Many times this is the first objective feedback a blogger has about their site and it works out well. It is not uncommon for blogger that was not accepted to become a member later on.

9rules has changed a lot over the years. If you (or anyone) have any questions, feel free to send me an email at tyme@9rules.com. The guys and I love finding new blogs.
