I thought this would be interesting to ask to see what directories inspired you the most. It could be for a positive or negative reason... It could be the reason you started your own or which one you chose to model after... If the directory is on the poll, choose it, if it's not, let us know which one and why. It could be more than 1 as well.
ok you know its between.... alive and aviva both great guys both role models... but the highest PR won this round so........ laterz malcolm
I included them in there because they inspire me to promote. Remember, both Alive and Aviva are only 2 years old. Before them, there were only really a handful of popular directories. So... When I began, I was mainly inspired by Yahoo! Directory because it's one of the best as far as quality, editorial standards, and revenue.
wowdirectory gave me a hint It was not for directory perspectives but SEO. It was my lucky day to change the course. I simply thought if they could do, I could do it also. And it took few months but surely worked.
LOLOLOL, not a very egocentric commentary... I would vote for several each influence me in some way. DMOZ (category structure) Alive (linking campaign) Aviva (quality seeking) JoeAnt (community editing) Yahoo! (Just make money) BOTW (no refund policy)
I'll go with Aviva, due to as ASK! says the focus being on quality. Even humans might find stuff there.
what the hell does !ASK! know about quality.... hes into writting novels... lol raisin the hairs on your back yet !ASK! heheheheehh laterz malcolm
LOL, All my hairs are raisin at this moment. And I must say you influence me being the only guy I now that is trying to make not 1 but +36 quality directories….

Hey !ask! my quality is measured at the end of the day in my wallet LOL PS you already know both Biz-King and Sleek are my pitbulls, keep pissen around and thier gonna tear that book your writen or "directory" into shreads....hahahahahahah
To call it an egocentric remark is childish of you. I set my own standards and I don't follow anyone. I bring out uniqueness, not copy people. I don't brag about anything I do, I let the things I do speak for themselves and get noticed amongst my peers. I don't spout off my directory alongside the bigger more saturated and established directories to try and gain some sort of attention. I don't try and cheat my PR, I earn it. I could go on and on about a lot of things, but again, there is no sense in trying to explain these such things, to a child minded directory owner. and for the record, Skaffe is one of my more favored directories, but they weren't listed. ps.s. shut up malcolm, I know you're about to post p0w!
your chiwahwahs can do no damage, you messican. hahaha (btw, malcolm and I are on yahoo phone laughing at all of this stuff)
Best of the Web I like it too much, Well categorized and clean design When i started allthelink, Botw was added on allthelink footer
I am yet a toddler in the industry I can't say any of the directories inspired me. Before here--I was a link builder. My involvement there has got me fascinated with Human Edited Web Directories and that way --I became an infant directory owner.
