Do you buy/sell partner accounts? Auto request?

[klik]

It's getting hard to get galleries listed these days so.. I'm looking into buying some partner accounts. But I would like to hear your opinions and experiences first.

Are the partner requesting softwares worth it? Really I'd just like the database list and be able to manually request partner accounts myself, since auto-requesting seems so impersonal... Seems like it sorta defeats the purpose of partner accounts.

Any advice? Experiences? Insults?

Much appreciated

Pretty much my question is, should I spend $100 on paid partner accounts or $100 using partner requesting software? Or both?

Many webmasters block people who use partner requesting software - I reccomend you dont use it. I know some people do well with it, but I would still not reccomend it

I was trying to avoid them for this exact reason, but I don't really plan on using the software I just want access to the database of sites so I can pick and choose, then manually request myself.

If you use CS, just use it's database to find sites to request PA's manually and save yourself the $100. I paid the $99 for CPAR and won't be renewing it.
