In no way I see you being harsh or hurting the business.

Cheers

 

thanks for the comment.

 

Good article!
Thanks for this one:

It reminded me something.
Just renewed my directories:http://www.livelydirectory.com/ & http://www.alikedirectory.com/

 

@richie, maybe because of that line, directory owners will give me a red , hope not.

I am not saying, they should register their domain 10 years or so, but at least a plan to renew yearly, or a text to indicate that the domain is renewed on yearly basis

 

Nice article.. but the 2nd point is wrong..

Most of the owners buy domain for 1 year only and keep renewing them.

 

thus, i have answered on the post above you friend,

, maybe I should add this to the post

 

good attempt.

however, think u cld have elaborated or focused more on the quality aspect. How do u look for quality? By checking the number of backlinks, marketing efforts, internal Page rank, unique content, etc..... afterall, this is prob the MOST IMPORTANT point IMHO

some suggestions

 

use this too:

(I take requests to add anything, fyi)

 

Definately good points. I am going to implement some of the points for my directory.

 

#3 is sometimes hard to know. Many directory owners do not specify if its yearly or one time or whatever the term they set.

Related thread I made some time ago. About tips on buying links. The forus is more general though, not just link purchase on directories only.

 

I think most serious web directory owners and webmasters will renew their domains on a timely basis, especially if they have PR. Some people renew their domains for 2 - 3 years at once. I often renew my domains for 2 years at a stretch whenever I renew my domains.
