Well that barely answers one of the questions and I won't even dignify your question with a response.
Why not? It was a reasonable answer. I couldn't think of anything else to say. I never know when I am treading on toes and everyone is a little prickly around here. You are English aren't you? Its either Made For Adsense or its not. I agree its certainly not a scraper site and I assume that its making money despite the moves Google made recently to rein in that market. Sure its professionally done but it is not the sort of site I want in our directories. You didn't answer my question about "window dressing" and affiliate marketing?
Silky - You can definitely make out his knowledge level from this post HERE He does not know anything- and still has been criticizing others LOL- what a DUMB idea --to criticize others for something one does not know just because he/she dislike them. Baseless roooobish
Sorry for being a total noob in the world of Oz (sorry about that) but I assume that what you are struggling to say is that Made For Adsense does not necessarily mean made for adsense if you spend a lot of money and effort making it look like the real thing. You cant be serious?
can you tell a difference between site made for adsense and site monetizing from adsense. They are two different kind of sites but both have adsense ads. Having adsense on a website not necessarily make the site MFA. There are lots of site with good information, unique content that using adsense to earn some revenue from their effort. To label this site as MFA is harsh
No it's not a reasonable answer, are you aware that the term MFA is a derogatory term, similar in line to the QBC term? Yet you are quite happy to throw around this term because it suits your preference rather than based on any real truth. The fact that the web site is making money, whether from adverts or not is in no way any business of yours and should not reflect on whether or not it is included in a general web directory. And you have finally answered one of my questions... "Sure its professionally done but it is not the sort of site I want in our directories." So it has absolutly nothing to do with the fact that you think it is MFA, it has absolutly nothing to do with editorial integrity, it is merely your personal preference. The simply fact is that I made a criticism of your standards and yet instead of defending those standards or providing any kind of comment, evidence or meaningful response to that criticism you chose instead to divert the attention and respond with questions of your own. I have sat here for literally hours in this thread answering and responding to your questions and yet as soon as I ask you something a little complex or question you in some way you try to avoid it. That to me is double standards, especially from someone who has accused Chris and Jeff of various things in this very thread and then accuses them of running off and not answering your questions. What prey tell have you just done?
oh man maybe that why I haven't got any good signup lately my site is a MFA according to workshop as I use adsense on some of my sites
well, this made DP MFA site too according to his logic. And according to his logic, this is definitely MFA site
IMHO acne-control.org.uk is a poor site MFA with copied content, doorway page for an SEO company while dentalmedical.us is a blog supposed to be for dental information but if someone has to ask people in the street there is no erectile dysfunction in the mouth, cavities or in teeth's. So that just not seems related and is way off the marked target.
Here comes another of that so called brigade-- Signed up- September-2007, Post -15. Depending someone, some points which are baseless. He/she might not even gone through the whole tread and read how we have come to this point of discussion. He does not even seem to be involved in directories and here he comes- giving out lectures about editorial integrity. @ workshop DP is MFA, Slashdot/Digg are MFA -- lol
If Google was going to ban SEO firms don't you think they would remove that category from their directory? http://directory.google.com/Top/Computers/Internet/Web_Design_and_Development/Promotion/Search_Engine_Optimization_Firms/
My sincere apologies for interfering with the subject and it would be the last time I would join your forum discussions. I only gave my opinion about the websites being asked and truthfully don't give a rats demise of your directory wars. I don't actually believe that there is anything such as erectile dysfunction in the mouth but if you have personally experienced it then I am truly sorry and would like to make amends; hear about your wonderful experience anytime soon. If your asking if I am not related to directories, I do edit for Yahoo and Skaffe and would really love to hear if anyone here needs help or is hiring. I have my rates ready and available. Just send me a message through this forum and would give a reply as soon as I can. Deisam
Has everyone forgotten that Aviva, et. al. were all interlinking to each other (all owned by the same party) for the purpose of inflating their PR so they could charge mega bucks for a link? "Networking to artificially inflate PR" should be added to the above list.
did you get fired ?? because thats the only way i would see an editor of yahoo and skaffe looking for work. lol. Next i want to say Silky some very constructive criticism but i agree with j some people just dont deserve the constructive part of the crticism. To conshop, where did i see that one coming from, if its not MFA now it is useless because of his editorial integrity or maybe that Directory Master ?? who you are paying like wat 50 cents an hour ?? lol I dont think i need to define what is the difference between sites that monetize revenue from adsense and sites that are made from adsense but surely clearly there is a difference as i am sure you wouldn't reject dp if Shawn ever get around submitting to your site. Lol which i highly doubt he would maybe he would go to Aviva though lol. Bear with me as my knowledge is so little and dont know much why is conshop still talking ?? (shouldn't you go train your directory master now) and learn to practice what you preach first.
I am not jobless and definitely do need some more work as my schedules fit that I personally could accommodate myself in, but looking for extra work does not impart someone of being fired from a job. Review times are unpredictable for some owners simply due to the fact that most are very busy with other things important to their business and I might make good for filling in the gap as my schedule would fit and accommodate. Please I would state this again. I am not interested in your wars and I am sorry if I have myself sucked in your worse conditions, to say the least. I just made an honest opinion about the sites being asked. If participating in your discussions here would deliberately be mistaken as a form of trolling then please I am not interested, but do not attack me personally as I have not done anything wrong to offend anyone directly. FYI this will be my last post in your directory thread discussions. Not interested to make enemies or friends just additional work if there is available.
You should have seen this place when it was really rocking. This is mild compared to what they dish out when the pack is together and it smells blood. Its mind boggling, it really is. Site Links become Authority Sites and Made For Adsense does not mean made for adsense. What's more I have apparently insulted Silky Smooth by daring to suggest that Aviva has no problem listing what is a very professionally manicured MFA site. Incredible. What can anyone do locked up in asylum with mad people like this? I just hope that Google is watching and that it does not make the mistake of letting these trolls off the hook. In fact I would be quite happy to see them devalue my sites as well. All we were looking for was $250 a month but I would be happy to forgo that if it meant bulleting this lot. They only thing that's going to work here is a cut and burn. Sis man! I dont think Google is worried by SEO firms. Its the crazies that trouble them. I know its got me worried. For the first time ever, I am beginning to wonder whether its worth even trying to look normal. Its MFA whatever way you twist and turn it. Yes its professionally done but just because its professionally done it does not mean it smells any better. And no I don't want to see any MFA in our directories. I also happen to try to teach my youngster not to litter and more to the point the importance of setting an example. Wake up. What is wrong with you? I can now well see why Minstrel hangs around here. He must find it fascinating. Still here but I have to add, why I don't know. You must also be very slow at typing. This was your question. I thought it was a bit silly at the time. But I answered it as best I could. You not the easiest person I have ever had the pleasure to conduct a conversation with and I suspect you have very many devils in your head. Either that or flies in your eyes.
You didn't insult me and I don't care what Aviva, Alive or any other directory for that matter chooses to list in their directory. LoL what is incredible is the fact that I so much as mention them in a posting and you instantly jump to the conclusion that I am defending them. (I was making a point that you sidestepped just like you kept accusing them of and nothing more). What I have a problem with is you labelling a web site when you dont have a damn clue what the hell you are talking about. This was my question: Do you understand the term MFA? Do you know what a scraper is or does? This was your answer: Made For AdSense Did I ask you what the abbreviation stood for? No I asked if you understood the term. That is a yes or no question and you have to rack your brains over it?!?!?! And don't tell me to wake up, your the one who can't tell the difference between a made for adsense site and a monetized by adsense site. There is no twisting and turning, it doesn't fall under the banner of an MFA web site because it doesn't meet any of the criteria which defines an MFA web site! I don't care where you are, my point was that you sidestepped, just like you accuse others of. No I am not slow typing, I just research and answer based on fact, your too quick to call and answer based on opinion which in your case is mostly wrong. Whenever someone pulls you up on something you attempt to sidestep it and redirect with questions as was proved here for all to see. I am done trying to reason or discuss any issue with you, your a fool and you don't have a clue what you are talking about whether it is with regards to this industry or MFA sites, you have now totally convinced me your a newb. I've already told you in a previous thread you have a lot to learn, now I know I was right. Don't worry, it won't happen again as your not worth my time, I tried to teach you something in a previous thread but your either too stubborn or too stupid to understand something when clear facts are put in front of you, I won't make the mistake a third time. I won't be responding to any of your postings again.
According to who? That site might not be a scraper site but it is MFA. It has no purpose other than to earn revenue from Adsense. Its made for Adsense. What part of that do you not understand? Is it yours? Does it belong to a mate? Whats scrambled your sense of reason?
