My Directory is new and it has zero pagerank. But I think it will be better to accept only PR > 0 site. And I made it very clear on the homepage. But people got rejected emailed me and said "But just so you know, I check the rank of your own site. It is also zero. Have a nice life". Am I rude to say that I only accept PR>0 site?
Doesnt seem logical that too many high ranking sites would want to submit to a PR 0. But like the guy above me said.. your house, your rules.
Only because a site as PR0 doesn’t mean it’s bad, I think is a bad requirement for approval, just look at the site don’t look at PR. But it’s your directory you make the rules, but image you go link building and don’t get any link to your directory because it’s PR0, how do you fell about that?
Don't be a PR whore. If the site looks good and has good content, it will likely mean the webmaster will be spending a lot of time to get their linkage up. All new sites start at PR0, if that is your only requirement for rejection - then spam sites with PR > 0 will have a field day with your directory.
For a new directory, I wouldn't restrict your chances of link building unless you have other ways to build links and increase the directory PageRank.
Have you made this clear on your submission form that you do not accept sites with PR0? Basically, it's your directory and it's up to you. <edit> I just looked at the directory in your signature - you might want to move that statement to the top of your submission form so it's seen before you fill it out. It's possible it gets overlooked at the bottom of the page. If I view your home page or submission page at less than full screen, I don't see it. May be one reason why you get some of these submissions.</edit>
I personally never submit to pr 0 sites because they could be blaclisted by the Big G. If they have at least some PR I know they are not blacklisted.
Why would you limit yourself and not submit to PR 0 sites? Unless you are still typing in all your submissions, then that's understandable.
That's your opinion..If other dir owners have the same restrict when u submit ur site,what do u think?That's not a good idea IMO
I must agree with the previous posters that this sound slike a bad idea. First, none of these PR 0 sites will be PR 0 for more than a couple months (assuming Google updates in a timely manner). Second, the people in most need of backlinks to get indexed and higher rankings are PR 0 sites.
I would say the majority of the PR0 sites are horrible. Slow and not many contents. I thought it would be a good idea for saving my time to not check them one by one. Maybe I should accept them and kick out them if they are still PR0 after 3 months
www.activeweblinks.com - PR0 www.directorydump.com - PR0 And yes, those are my directories, but all I can say is at least I put an effort into my directories and I'm not using some free template that everybody and his brother is using. I'm also not out to make a quick buck like a good majority are. With time permitting me, I will eventually evolve each directory into what it was designated to be. But yes, your directory, your rules.
Your directory is currently only PR0 and you only have a few direrectory backlinks (one sitewide but whatever). Which means that you submit your PR0 site to directories but don't accept PR0 sites at your directory. That doesn't sound too right. Hint: Before submitting to directories read the guidelines. Me: You: Me: Feel free to resubmit with a good description.
There are better ways to determine if a site is penalized besides relying on an outdated graphical display of a browser add-on. Keep in mind that toolbar PR can be spoofed as well.
Just want to say, your site is horrible. PR0 and less content wake up man! See the world, what is happening.
