    Our directory is PR 4 now and I am expecting PR 6 in the next update. It was a free directory, but I closed free submissions long time ago cos I saw it's profitable. Current Stats for the directory

    Alexa Traffic Rank : 92.000

    Visitors per day - ~ 200.

    ~ 400 indexed pages by google

    Advertising campaign soon to start.


    http://www.ofcourse.us

    All free links were deleted by our system.




    P.S: Design soon to be changed

    I would keep quiet about that if I were you, it's not going to make you very popular with the people who spent time submitting when it was free. Unless that is, you are saying it's free to resubmit for all those which were lost.

    Also, there is no toolbar PR showing at all for me.

    @steve_gts, he means that the Free Submissions are not longer available to be submitted to his directory. Which means he is now accepting only paid.

    Hope that clears this mis-understanding up.

    Your directory is showing PR 0. Did you know your directory looks like AliveDirectory a lot, even the general submission rules text are very similar? Unless this was a template sold to both of you, then it is a different story.

    Why the hell would you remove the free links. People spent time submitting to your directory giving you content. You turn around and DELETE the free links? It's one thing to now charge but another to delete what people spent time submitting.

    If you're in my directory consider yourself removed and directory banned. :mad:

    Dude. They stayed there 3 months. I decided to remove them, I had my reasons. YOU don't have any rights to acuse me.

    "Get in early now before my directory turns paid and delete all the free listings when there's any hint of PR assigned."

    Do you think people will help you build your directory with submissions if this was always your original intent? Good luck.

    I didn't accuse you of anything. Simply stated that that was a crap move in my opinion as people wasted their time supplying you with content and probably some free links.

    You wind up on directory lists, and you get free inbound links for having a free resource. You can't deny this.

    As far as 3 Months Nobody would have submitted if they knew was only 3 months. We all know this.

    At the end of the day it's just nuts to advertise this and not expect some negativity. Just don't apply to any of my directories, thanks.

    Any need to state this info when you removed all free links?
    I don't believe the above stats will hold true any more.

    Would love to hear these great reasons you had for dumping all those free listings. I am sure they were REALLY good reasons. :rolleyes:

    Went paid?
    And deleted all free submissions prior?
    What a dumbass move!

    Yeah, it will be harder than heck to get people on DP to submit to your directory and all other directories you have.

    I am hunting now in all my directories and if you are listed, you are deleted.

    ANd bubba....your directory is NOT pr4...it is pr0!!!
