    I bought a link from him (advertising) on the right side menu of his website.

    I keep emailing him to make it "nofollow" but he hasn't responded back.

    anyone knows who he is so I can contact him through here?

    Thanks

    directory rate is a dead site and has old data. i suggest advertising with better directory related sites that update often and have good traffic. there are a few good ones out there with a lot of traffic. directorycritic.com, vmoptions.com, info.vilesilencer.com come to mind.

    sorry, i bought on directorycritic but no reply.
    who is the owner? seems all are scammers who want to take away the money.
    now I signed the subscription before 2 days, so i will get only 28 days for next subscription IF IT GOES LIVE TODAY :mad:

    Then reverse the paypal and spend your money elsewhere. directory critic is not what it used to be anyway. check out the other two places i mentioned previously and you will see that they are of a higher quality and have a better following. I don't know how their prices compare to directory critic, but if directory critic is a scammer then why complain? Just get your money back and move on...

    Probably because he has 100's of sites and is only interested in the domain name.

    Effective & quicker respond to clients is essential in directories business if one seek a long term success.. Most of the people forget this point :)

    At least you got listed. I bought advertising on Directory Critic which was never added and they never responded to my contact attempts.

    I had the same problem with DirectoryCritic. Took a long time and a lot of effort to get it working

    Raise a non-delivery dispute. Since the DC owner hasn't responded to your emails. Probably he should not respond to paypal also therefore no response for 7 days, paypal should reverse the transaction even if it was digital good because the 2nd party didn't respond.

    But if there is a response to paypal dispute from DC, you can get your listing as you know someone is hearing. :)

    Change your password and tell them it was an unauthorized payment from your paypal account.
