Thanks for the reply.
Okay, so I took a cl...Neil,<br /><br />Thanks for the reply.<br /><br />Okay, so I took a closer look at your 400 submission campaign (99.00) you ordered for the "Shambhu" campaign in Oct-Nov 2010..<br /><br />You were "Accepted By" 15 sites and "Rejected By" 25 sites, for a total review rate of 40/400 = 10%<br /><br />We limit the number of artists submission each Reviewer receives to 1, 2 or 3 artists per day. Some sites will elect to receive more artist submissions per day (up to 10), but those sites typically login on a daily or weekly basis and review frequently and regularly. We don't "overload" (what I assume you mean as "blast") sites with too many artists for review, as this defeats the purpose for the Artist, the Reviewer, and as a consequence, us.<br /><br />Also, we allow Reviewers a 60-day window to review artists in their queue. It's not necessarily to open each artist submission, or review every day. Artists will wait in the Reviewer's "queue" for 2 months, then fall off. We do this because we understand Reviewers are often overwhelmed with all the independent artists hitting them up from every angle, begging for a review. It's an impossible burden of your time, and many Reviewers simply burn out. We try to make life easier for both the Artist and Reviewer. <br /><br />I also took a look at your MS Reviewer's Account you set up for your blog "Musings on Technology, PR, Politics and Spirit".<br /><br />You logged in 5 times over a two-month period (Sept-Oct 2010), and reviewed 8 artists (accepting 1 and rejecting 7). Your Reviewer's account was set to receive max 2 artists per day, in New Age and Jazz. You finally unsubscribed to receive artist submissions in February 2011.<br /><br />Anyway, I thought we deserved at least 1 out of 5 stars for our efforts ; ) But we respect your opinion, and thanks for the feedback.<br /><br />Best Regards,<br /><br />Michael Corcoran<br />MusicSUBMIT.com<br />34 E. 23rd St, 6th Floor <br />New York, NY 10010Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6834246.post-87421998008443756892011-03-16T11:30:40.587-07:002011-03-16T11:30:40.587-07:00Hi, Neil...

First, I appreciate your candidness and honesty regarding your personal experience with our service.<br /><br />While I believe you truly did have a lousy experience, I also think our service somehow provided you with some misconceptions, and if you offered me an opportunity to explain a few things, I'd be very much obliged.<br /><br />I understand our service is not perfect, and we are always looking for way to improve each client artist's experience. I would also understand if you did not feel so inclined to respond or offer such an opportunity to clear up any 'misconceptions'.<br /><br />In either case, good luck with your music, and I hope to hear from you.<br /><br />Best Regards,<br /><br />Michael Corcoran<br />MusicSUBMIT.com<br />34 E. 23rd St, 6th Floor <br />New York, NY 10010Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
