I'm in a bit similar dilemma too. These are two lower tiers, (not using kitchen sink on these project, as it was very first one and was trying my way out).
It seems the submitted always stays very high and lol links aren't verified quickly. I've set them to verify daily. Would you guys recommend me to stop them and verify and then restart them?
Also, might sound stupid but how to manually verify all links? In show submitted links, I get no verify option? On a side note, I've checked verify all links from modify project, but that popped a notice that all links will get verified on next verification. Unsure whether I was suppose to do that or something else.
edit: I think I got it. Status > Active (Verify only), if I'm correct?
@PerryM Sure, I do that. But things somehow got cloaked up. I'm now verifying them manually and going good. From then, I believe it shouldn't have any more problems.

That is normally down to engines then
Blogs are the worst for that.
You can bang out blog submissions all day long. A lot will have a comment box, but the comments never get approved
You need to check your submissions stats and compare the submitted against verified on the engines you use
When I hit my first daily 200,000 submissions, I then went through and drop the high submission low verified engines
Also look at the content your using. If its out the box ser comments etc, you will be moderated and no doubt your comments will be deleted
