    That's an old trick...sell permanent links and dispose off the site in next few months.

    There is nothing much you can do about it.

    Well the strange part is that the site had some backlinks a unique design and was bought for $400 by the last owner so it’s very strange.

    Serious business man would not make it down and serious business man would not sell permanent links.

    From the beginning, he is not a serious owner ;)

    Never heard of this directory before, but I would be willing to bet that it will be back online with a new ower offering new deals in order to pull a new scam. Why are some people so shady.

    Some evidence shows it might not be back, not pagerank meant no promotion, no alexa data means site downs for some time (it is for directory only).

    I think we are going to have to add ask-dir to the QBC list for that banner on the website.

    @ASK
    You cant do much at the moment. Seems like the site is down since Feb.

    After seeing so many of such post in the recent past (where the seller removed links or site went down) I have decided not to buy any permanent link and be very careful with yearly link as well.

    I am doing the same too...if the price looks too good to be true...better be careful.

    I am just buying permanent links on directories/blog posts.

    According to who is http://www.whois.ws/whois-com/ip-address/listedlink.com/ domain name is regged at Enom. It is very likely it was originally regged at Registerfly since all domains are pushed to Enom when they closed their business.

    It was impossible to continue registration for few months at Registerfly so my guess is owner lost the domain name.
    Same thing happened with site I sold www.dpmembers.info and I almost lost another domain name in same way.

    So, don't flag this site as QBC-Registerfly maybe should be there.

    I don't think that is the case since I can see
    ""Registration Service Provided By: NameCheap.com ""
    So the domain was originally registered through NameCheam and IS with NameCheap right now.

    Thats sad to hear about..

    Was it a permanent deal or some timely link ?

    Thats why before buying a permanent link - Do confirm the minimum time the link would remain live

    What good is confirming, if the owner himself is going to disappear? :D.
