Do you get people who select featured , but dont pay up?

Im pretty sure you do !! there was this particular guy who did this for a couple of his sites, both sites were ranked pr5 so im guessing he was no noob and cant quite go wrong for two submissions, what do you guys do with such people/links ? do you delete ?

 

Yes sir, even regular submissions with deeplinks. Which I have to delete and ban the site.

 

i let it stay unactivated for a day because it has happened they forgot to pay ... i drop them an email also .... but after 24 hours i delete them.

 

My free directory have paid featured listings.. I do receive such submissions.
Their intention seems to be - Get lucky if by mistake admin approves it.

 

I think everyone gets them! I'm no exception. Let it sit a day or 2 and delete.

 

This seems pretty commonplace. I'm sure some are by accident and many others are by intent.

 

Yea,I do receive those links.
Usually I delete them directly....

 

It’s so easy to submit using some filling software, they just hit go, and runaway.

 

Wait for some day, if no payment just delete

 

I get these too, and as already has been said, let them sit for a day and delete.

 

I've had a few, but I just delete and forget about them. It's usually websites of "SEO companies". Maybe this is an SEO tactic?

 

I do get some such submissions on lakesregion-nh.. I wait for some days, If no response I simply delete

 

I get a few of these submissions, i just delete them though.

Yep, i think some big companies just think because they have a name you'll let them off

 

I get tons of submissions by people who dont pay. I dont know if its a bot or just someone trying to slip by. Anyways its pretty annoying.

 

i get some of them on MySpace links directory but when i see that there is no payment made, i just delete them without even having to look at them

 

If it's a single instance, I'll send an email to inquire if there were any problems with the payment processing as there have been issues with PayPal in the past. I'll include a link to the payment page related to their submission. After a few days I'll delete the submission. If the payment does happen to come through after that, there's always the email notification with the submission details to fall back on.

If someone is submitting multiple sites and skipping out, just delete the submissions and move on. Not worth much more time or effort.

 

Its a direct delete for me, no mercy , even had valid links removed by mistake and had to email the guys again to provide details .

Cheers

 

These people are the bane of all Directory Owners and they are a nuisance

But the amazing thing is that if they were honest and paid up they would likely see an upturn in their own business fortunes

Having said that these masses with their inordinate naiveity and stupidity always lose out eventually

 

Your supposed to be on top off your business...

If they chose to be stupid then let them..
Ban them and make thier websites known
to other directory owners and it stops the bums
who do that sort of thing....

thx
