It's a niche for blogs only correct?

 

No, not only for blogs ;-)

 

Never mind, sign up works. Thanks a lot dude. Just submitted two websites. It's kinda hard to tell when you signed up and submitted a website though. Making "WebsiteName" has been added. Bold would be a good idea.

 

errored when signing up:

array(8) { [0]=> string(4) "free" [1]=> string(11) "advertising" [2]=> string(8) "business" [3]=> string(9) "directory" [4]=> string(8) "business" [5]=> string(8) "listings" [6]=> string(4) "free" [7]=> string(9) "directory" }

....Your account has been setup successfully. An email has been sent to your email address with your account detail and password.

 

Yep, you're right. This is a total custom script and I still have a lot of work.... Thanks for interest and your remarks ;-)

 

I think that I forgot to remove some "print" in my code... Did it work well? I just validated 3 websites this morning.

 

yep it signed me up ok

 

Hello,
I have joined and got an error as above mention.
but still a successful sign up message.
Can you tell me why this error appearing?

 

Well, I don't think that this is really an error... I think that I forgot to remove some piece of code when publishing the website on the net. I will have a look this WE and I will fix it
Thanks for reporting!

Nobody used the special gift yet...? Check in "My Profile" after login in, you will have the possibility to advertise :-D

All the best!

 

Hello,
I have received the confirmation of submition by email and error on page
about keywords in array.

 

After logging in I see the same form like for submition but with blocked name phone and email. Should I fill the form again If I have done it in submition?

 

what a crappy directory. it also gave me a error. is this yours?

 

Hi AndyFr,

No, it is OK, I will just validate your profile today. It seems OK. On your Profile page, below your personnal info, you will find a link to manage your website profile (add categories, etc.)

Welcome to the Blogs Portal!

Anto

 

I have beed submited and approved very fast.
Thank a lot for the service!

 

Yep, it is mine. It is not an error, I just forgot to remove a "print_r" from my code... It will be fixed soon.

 

Thanks Andy!

You have the possibility to advertise on the directory (put a banner), please check your account

my profile > advertising

You have 100 credits, it should be sufficient to have your banner displayed for free for a while ;-)

 

Well... I tried to develop my own script, not just copying/pasting a "ready-to-use" script...

I tried to be innovative: I'm not proposing the basic categories that you can see in the majority of directories. The directory is based on 2 axis:
- Website type
- Tag/Keyword

=> exemple: You're looking to buy "animal figurines"
1. You select the website type: "E-Commerce websites"
http://www.blogs-portal.com/4,1,commercial-websites-e-commerce-sites.html
2. You refine your search: with the right keywords...

Or you can directly "jump" to the right keyword using the quick search feature...

Or you can look for a keyword/tag and refine by website type...

=> The website profile can be updated by the one or several users at the same time with different right access.

=> The users can advertise on the website (for free when joining!) and manage campaings on their own...

Crappy...? Maybe, it is just begining, I still have a lot of work, I need to improve graphics, intuitivity, but I think the idea is not bad... I'm just trying to do something different...

 

I suppose the most of potential searchers just use a quick search. And the best variant to use just one word.
I am quite lazy and would prefer to use search instead of category navigation.

 

Thanks for the feedback! I tried to implement both solutions:

If you're using the quick search for a specific keyword (let say "figurines"), the search result will display all the website related to "figurines".

But, depending on what you want to do with figurines, you will have the possibility to refine this search and display only the results that will be interesting for you. If you want to buy "figurines", you will be able to refine your search by displaying only the e-commerce websites. If you want to talk about figurines, you will refine your search by displaying "forums"...

In other directories, you will have 2 different categories:
1. Figurines
2. E-commerce Websites
...and you cannot link your website to both categories...

I have a different architecture... but there is still the possibility to use the quick search feature...
