Yes PR6 now shows PR0 PS- there is a reason I am so interested to know what happened to Romow- I want to make sure that what ever it is, it does not happen to me or other directory owners I care about.
As a retired government agent, I feel it is my duty to report this post to the proper secret agencies who will be contacting all of you.
All of his domain name registrations were updated last October and are now private. The private registration services for Fabulous.com are provided by a firm in Australia as they are there also. There is no way to know if Peter still owns them without any direct contact with him.
I have sent the owner an email and had no response. All of his other directories are down as well. I hope they will come back on line soon as I have lots of sites listed in his directories.
www.xwebdirectory.com is owned by romow and is still up. No sure if www.xwebdirectory.com still approves submission or not
It's called take the money and run. It was opened during the directory link buying frenzy and made good money and now cost time and money to keep open with few if any paid submissions. Your going to see most small paid directories go under in this horrible economy and directory links having no page rank increasing value.
It was not your average joe directory, by looking at this thread do you think it was a type of directory you are trying to make it out to be? Romow has been an exceptional directory, one of very few which stood still even after when directories were penalised. The guy maintained highest standards and fromw hat i know, he had been receiving dozens of listings a day, fairly making thousands of dollars a month. It was a good directory and we hope to see it back.
Your judgement is wrong. Peter is not that type of man. He made good money from Romow but he re-invested a lot in it.
I very much hope your right but I've seen very reputable directories owned by great people just close leaving the folks who paid for submissions a bit disgruntled.
