Interesting answers from some experienced & reputed members. It might be very much helpful for the newcomers. Kudos to you all.

[sportiana]

Sites must have content, reviewing sites takes time that is mostly limited as it's only one side of the directory management, other is maintaining the directory, checking if there is still content behind the websites that are already submitted, smaller websites (i.e., minor league sports clubs that cease operations) contents have higher chances to dissapear and become parked domains (with affiliate ads, ppc ads... and no content) than 'bigger' sites, usually 'bigger' sites hold higher page rank, PR is not a factor itself, in the end statistically it may look as it is.

[monster.amd64]

please help on that

well my friend has a forum .. how he can add it on directories..?
every directories give a back link.. but how he can put it ??

[iowadawg]

Your friend just goes to a directory and click submit url.
Simple process.

Make sure he submits to right category (if he has a forum, look for forum category or sub-category).

no actually i am saying .. every directory gives some script to put it on the site...

but how it will be done on the forums.. its built on SMF script..

[iowadawg]

Just set up a directory in a folder.
So you have the forum, and a link to the directory on the forum.

How do you review sites?
I look at each site personally. If it's a junk site, you can usually tell within a few seconds of looking at the homepage. My motto is "No Porn, No Pills, No Problem"

What is the basic criteria for approval ?
Does the site provide anything of value to the visitor. I don't care if you sell affiliate products, that's fine, but is it clean, organized and maintained?

Do you see pr as a factor for approval ?
Couldn't care less about PR

How do you have time to review each and every link submitted?
I don't get thousands a day, I just do them as they come in.

Do you pay people to review sites submitted to your directory ?
I'm not big time enough for that

How much you earn on an average per month from your directory?
