    Wow! thats a news that iEntry, Inc. has acquired a web directory...

    Do they own any other directory? Or is this their first foray into directory business?

    Im happy for him but was waiting to buy it myself.. :D

    I know the links it had behind it as that directory was just as powerful
    as Biz-king and Sleeks with several PR7s and tons of PR6 links..

    How much did it go for?... Nevermind it dont matter i didnt get it .... lol

    thx

    Congrats Matt. I remember doing a large ezine advertising campaign with iEntry back in 2000 and 2001. Glad to see they're still doing well, and hope to see great things with the web directory too.

    Yes, they do own other directories:

    jayde.com
    allyourlink.com
    webfeeds.info (looks famliar) check out the pending links -7K :eek:
    i25hotlanes.com (another familiar template - SpringBreak)
    whichforum.com
    oyez.info (v2.1 w/linkback removed?)
    tugf.com (v2.0 without link again?)

    Interesting news-thanks for letting us know.

    I wouldn't expect such a large company to remove links from templates. Last one www.tugf.com is using template under ownership of Aviva. If they didn't pay for link removal they are candidates for QBC site.

    Congrats Matt - that's fabjlous news!

    No, they did not pay for this. Also, the template on whichforum.com looks like mine too and they did not pay for link removal :-( Very shocked that a big company would do this (also surprised that they don't just pay for custom templates).

    I think they own more. I can't recall others. I hope they don't remove links at Magx because I just bought few on it ;)

    This suggests to me that they are expanding their directory share by buying up directories rather than starting new ones, and not modifying what they have bought. Let us know if you can get this cleared up with them.
