Surfin Directory

Hello fellow dpers its me again I'm here to announce that my directory (Surfin Directory) http://www.surfin.com which has been a paid directory will now offer regular links without recips for free for all dpers or whomever else happens to find out about it for the next 7 days. Meaning that on 10-27-2006 The price will be going back up to 5.95 a year for a regular listing. We have also dropped featured listings from 14.95 to 9.95 for the next 7 days. Same as before one 10-27-2006 hits the price of our featured links will be going back up to 14.95. Thanks for all the support you guys have given me and this is just a way to show my appreciation to dp members for your help! Later On!

 

Submitted my site to directories category of your site. Thanks for the opportunity.

Regards,
Mustafa

 

Submitted some sites. Thanks for the opportunity .

 

So what exactly happened to optikpoint.com as it had been a featured listing for quite some time.

Why did you delete it altogether?

 

Thanks for the generous offer. I submitted one during the free grace period, and I hope you get tons more links

 

The form I am seeing does not have a featured listing option...

Let me know if you disable image validation.

 

Also, the minimum title and description text settings are a bit prohibitive. I would suggest 150 min for description and maybe 15 for the title.

 

I agree with mystikmedia - but I'd shorten the minimum title length to around 10 characters. Some site titles are quite short.

 

Okay, I will shorten the title and thanks for the suggestions. I feel that 200 isn't too big for a description. So I'm not going to change that I don't think....The 200 minimum is only in effect while we are offering these reduced prices for the next week..as we don't want to receive a bunch of spam

Anon, I'm not quite sure to be honest...I run the validate links every one in a while maybe your site was down at the time I ran it??? Really not sure, but I will check in to it asap. Also are you sure you submitted to surfin directory and not my other one mystickcal cause I know your in mystickcal. As soon as I find anything out I will PM you personally. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

I'm not turning off image verification whomever asked that. sorry

Hope I ddin't skip anything If I did please let me know

 

The problem with using a 200 character minimum for the description is this:

Most directories have a MAXIMUM character limit of 200 for the description. So, the descriptions everyone has setup to use are less than 200 characters. This makes it a big inconvenience for people to submit multiple listings to your directory. Something you might want to think about. I won't be submitting anymore anyway because of the image validation, but I think that one is important to almost everyone. Good luck.

 

submitted thanks

 

Hmm I did not know that nor did I ever run into this problem and my description is about 250 chars and I've submitted to a least a thousand directories... Anyone else agree with this and see this? Do you think 200 is too much to require for a description?

 

Actually i should agree with mystickal.

Content in the directory increases and the site seems to be get listed within a lot of content.
So 200 - 250 characters is a good decent number for the description.

 

I'm 100% positive it was surfin directory.

Also, when it's a featured listing, and even if the site is down, a featured listing does not require a reciprocol, so It shouldn't be de-activated.

You're really batting 1.000 with me these days. Especially with what you did when I allowed you to enter directorydump's back end.

I won't go into it here, but yea, I'm still pissed off because you have no respect and you're sneaky and corruptive.

 

Submitted mine too.. hope it gets listed soon
Thanks for the opportunity

 

Maybe it's not as much like that anymore. I remember it used to be. That's why I setup all the descriptions with 200 character descriptions. In any case, not an issue if fine for others.

 

Submitted 7 sites to travel. Thanks for the opportunity.

 

Thank you for this great offer! Best of luck!

 

Hey anon, yes thats fine that you don't trust me and I completely understand that you feel that way and hold nothing against you. Also what I meant is that when I do the validation I also have it deactivate links if they are down...like if it trys to see if the site is active and its not for whatever reason (server being down) I don't just check for recips.

I have sent you a PM regarding the issue. I'm willing to work with you 100% in this matter but I'm just not seeing it in the directory nor that it ever was in the directory. Please respond via PM when you can and I will get this fixed. If this is a mistake of mine or a misunderstanding I do apolize and will fix it immediately.
