take another look at links-collector.com, no onpage seo, no offpage seo, v2 of PHPLD. yes, giin may have, you didn't had it so far, you did ONPAGE seo for that link and category. so, decide, are you participating with your category, Webmasters or with your listing? you are not allowed to participate with two pages, again, as far as I know. I myself was in the same situation when added the link as it was on my homepage too, and then said I will only participate with the category, not the homepage. even so, for anyone who knows a bit about phpLD is very obviously you cheated so far.
I am only participating with category and meta tags are only ON listing page not category page .If you look into it .Having custom meta tags on listing page is not cheating Also what do you exactly mean by on page seo on listing page? Saad
so if your're participating with the category this image says it all, you cheated. let me explain to you: the title on the View source page sais very clearly: Source of http://www.linksarena.com/webmasters/ you don't have specific keywords and description for every category, thing proved by the other two screenshots of categories. so you should be disqualified. simple!
Well, it is <title>Links Arena- Webmasters</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/templates/LinksArena/style/style.css" /> <meta name="keywords" content="directory,seo friendly,free webdirectory" /> <meta name="description" content="Links Arena A free Seo Friendly Web Directory" /> <meta name="author" content="Saad Ahmed" /> <meta name="copyright" content="Copyright (c) 2006 by Saad Ahmed. All rights reserved!" /> <meta name="robots" content="index, follow" /> <meta name="generator" content="PHP Link Directory 3.0.6" /> </head>. You can also check cache! Saad
View source of cache says nothing as far as I can see, shows the actual page. there are two screenshots, one before you change the code and one after you changed the code, don't really get what can't you understand. @Ask - your directory, if it is yours, diablodirectory.com has a small error, 100links.gif is moved to the right with one pixel, shows like this in IE and Firefox.
Well before you said you can prove easily through cache anyway it's all upto Mike..He knows better.He can check my site.As you said i have custom meta tags.That's ture but only on listing page not on category which is not cheating!.Also you have directorycontest.com on your homepage and in a category does that mean you are participating from category and homepage aswell ?Also it's my site i can use whichever version of phpld i want(I am not angry btw ). Saad
well,You had custom metatags only for the category Webmasters and screenshots prove what you did and it's up to Mike. I did announced here that my directory has the latest 5 featured links on homepage but I am participating with the category (check few pages back). also, It happens that I also own a 3.06 licence of phpld and if you don't have the custom metatags enabled for your submit page they don't appear in the admin CP either, under the Add Link page.
Actually, it's featured link they does appear in edit link page.I actually had no meta tags before then checked other directories and changed mine aswell (Only on listing page) Saad
you're loosing yourself in lies define before or should I do it? before is after I posted the screenshots? why don't you admit you did OnPage SEO for the category Webmasters (obvious thing) and participate with your listing details. let me define for you OnPage SEO in this situation: different Description and Keywords for category Webmasters than the rest of the directory. show us 10 categories and 10 links in your directory that have custom meta tags. this should be in the next 5 minutes. if it takes longer than 5 minutes, one more category/subcategory for every 10 seconds that pass.
I am actually running with category you can search in google and see actually category is coming in top not the listing link also i currently have no link with custom tags since it was not enabled and i edited meta tags from admincp of listing again i am building links for category only not the link itself you can search on google and the link which will come up on first page is http://linksarena.com/webmasters/ not http://www.linksarena.com/detail/link-1112.html and i dont have differnet description for category i have same description for all categories you can check.Feel free to check cache if you think i just removed meta tags from category which you are thinking..I admit i have custom meta tags for listing of directorycontest.com but not for category itself ie webmasters.. Saad
what cache? aren't screenshots enough? seems I did a mistake with cache, and you now try to take advantage with that. You did the modifications these days since in cache the listing has a 3-4 words descriptions and now it is longer. cache is from Dec 29th. on 2nd Jan you were 9th. take a good look here: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showpost.php?p=2029832&postcount=403 what else do you need?
anyhow, let me tell you that you DO have a strong, nice directory, I just don't understand why did you had to cheat, considering your ITrader and rep.
everybody, just look at this page: http://209.85.129.104/search?q=cach...ntest.com&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=4&client=firefox-a if screenshots lie... this page doesn't. looks like google is by my side. hit View Source for this page.
Emailed Mike and got response from him.He said that it's okay for now to keep custom keywords and description and he said that he will rewrite rules as he had dengue fever when he wrote the rules.My apologizes for not accepting.I am embarrassed .I admit it and apologize once again. Thanks! Saad
Actually, I might switch hosting away from asmallorange after this. Been with them for 2 years, had credit cards stolen, had to cancel them, lots of stuff. So my paypal didnt let me send out money. When they tried to get the funds thru subscription payment, it declined even though the funds were in the account. Im ready to switch hosting to a different hosting provider, preferably a reseller account or a regular account which lets me add up to 25 subdomain names (I actually am hosting at about 8 different places, but this is where I have most of my sites). For them to shut me off like that is completely uncalled for. If anyone has a good offer regarding web hosting, please PM me! - Mike
That's total BS and you know it full well. ASO is good hosting. If they cut you off, it's because you didn't pay. Period.
