I bought lots of advertising for my various directory and directory related projects and I have been checking to make sure my ads are still up and have met with some troubling results. Hoping other members can help me hook up with the right people to fix them up. It seems a bunch of pages are not loading for me too so hoping someone else might be able to figure out if these are really down or blocked from my somehow. These all come from bookmarks where I jot down the purchases I made and confirm that they are live, so I was able to access these pages at some point in the past. Thanks in advance and green rep for all those that can help me out. http://www.arcadecan.info/ bought three permanent links and site is gone http://www.directoryfrog.com 3 x one year with descriptions only two improper ones up under sponsors http://www.yellowpageswebdirectory.com/index.php 2 in column for one year http://www.bestcelebnews.info/ 3 x one year links not opening http://www.celebritydiary.info/ 2 x one year not opening http://www.thefirstpick.com/html/web-links.htm 2 x 1-year links not opening http://www.precharge.net/forums/ 4 x one year links only 2 showing http://www.smfusers.com/ 3 x one year, dont see any http://www.internethow.com/ one year link? http://www.gradski.net/, page not showing http://www.ismip5.com/submit.php not loading 6 month link end oct. http://www.sednax.ws/submit.php errors loading I am curious on a site like the one below I just noticed the strange URL, did someone trick me by showing me an extra copy of the home page they created and then deleted it? http://www.hollywoodcentral.us/a/ 4 x one year links. page not showing
ttp://www.arcadecan.info/ http://www.bestcelebnews.info/ http://www.celebritydiary.info/ http://www.hollywoodcentral.us/a/ these 4 didn't show up for me. how long are they down? some sites exp. downtime. mine had 1 that lasted for 6 days. if they are down for more than 3 days, then that might be a scam. do a domain whois on them and if possible, call them up and give them a surprise.

Not unlikely. I have seen it all, especially amongst the QBC crowd. Sometimes a link gets deleted unintentional, like during an upgrade. Let's keep this thread running and clear things up. Looks like Jeff's list is going to get crowded soon.
Yes Jay keep the thread live so we can clear out these types once and for all These types SUCK AND ARE THE BANE OF THE DIRECTORY MARKET We need more dedicated professional directory owners like jg123 these type of guys are a credit to us all, they are always willing to help you out when needed too Lets pull together 'all of us' to ensure the integrity and kudos the Directory Market so richly deserves
Is this going to be another directory black list? Oppose to the topic, we should have a directory white list

Hope that helps.
I should clarify that I am not making any accusations of fraud against these sites. This is more of an 'additional information' required kind of endevour and because the list had grown so quickly I was hoping for help from fellow members to clear some of these up. I make mistakes in listing sites sometimes and there are cases when links get removed unintentionally and websites do run into problems with crashes, down-time and what-not. I was just a bit shocked at the number of ads that seemed to go missing. I am curious on a site like the one below I just noticed the strange URL, did someone trick me by showing me an extra copy of the home page they created and then deleted it? - Blogmaster I have not seen this before either but it would be a pretty good way to scam people. Hack a site create a duplicate home page and sell cheap links. It just seems like a strange URL almost like they wanted it to appear to be the home page.
This is my website. We bought this website and there were no such details provided to us. You should ask for 100% refund from whom you bought it, Let me know the outcome. Just found out from where we bought the website >> http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=100082&highlight=hollywoodcentral.us
SumitBahl I think I remember seeing this one listed here on DP? I thought I might have even made a post in the thread (could be a different one), was the page I am refering to 'live' when you bought the site? Please give me the sellers name to make it easier than having to go through my hundreds of Paypal history. thanks
Hi Jude, I think this is a misunderstanding Jude.. The previous owner should have contacted you about the takeover. I will contact him again to contact you for the links. Would appreciate if you would let the previous owner resolve the situation at hand.. Thank you. Allan Thanks buddy
Valhalla is the new owner of http://www.directoryfrog.com and he straightened everything out quickly and professionally, thanks!! SumitBahl I don't get it, that thread says the site was sold to honey for $9??
Here is the profile of the member who sold the site to us: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/member.php?u=18676 I don't remember seeing that page when I bought the website and we were not notified to keep any links for a specified period. honey is business partner, we work together. Let me know if I can help you further with this. Thanks
