    Lol how annoying, i always see directories posted around or in sigs with free in the domain, it must be that its got a PR4 in the last update, and they think f*** that, i may aswell try get some money out of it :mad:

    The only 'free' directory that ive submitted to is freewebindex :) Maybe because i knew it was and never will be free :)

    So yuo're suggesting that because a directory has "free" is in the domain name that it should be free to submit a site?

    Maybe it's free to use - no subscription or registration fee required to access the information.

    Yes terryuk the word 'free' in the domain does cause confusion, like you it just gets you thinking well I will add a link here cause it will help such & such a site, then when you go to submit you are requested to pay.

    Thats when it is confusing

    There are many sites that I would only want to submit to free only submissions

    Then some pay & free

    Then the other option pay only submissions

    No, the directories with "free" in their URL and are not really free don't piss me off. The so-called "Open Directory Project" that is about as closed as a directory can get....now that pisses me off. :rolleyes:

    well, there are some people like that. as for me, i say free for my sites, i make sure everything is free, so no one gets a bad impression of the site. i made a new directory www.xdefine.com it is free to submit to the directory, as long as you are registered. why because with that username and password you can use other parts of the site. check tell me what you think.
