    I don't know whether it is suitable for this category.If not, mods please move .



    I have seen that many of the directories are not giving confirmation mails for the submission.What can be the reason ?

    i think its duplicated information if submitter receives success message in the browser. Peak Level just sends mail when a site has been aproved.

    Personally I think those email notifications are annoying,so NO in my directories.

    I personally prefer to receive all emails to confirm that submission is received, also when payment has been made and if accepted or rejected.

    I send them all as i cant see why i shouldn't be doing that for people.

    Recently i did have to alter something in one of my directories where submitters were not receiving confirmation emails upon payment.

    I personally think its good to keep the people informed throughout the process, explain everything and leave no mystery.

    I am also a directory owner. But I always give enough patronage to my members. I'll intimate tham once their link is uploaded. You can submit your websites to my PR-3 directory (tanthra.com) and also recieve confirmation email. At present I am accepting only reciprocal and featured link...

    Then you must have got a lot of spam from me when you submitted Lively Web Directory ;)

    Well, currently I am sending 3 mails/notification (Submission, Payment, Accept/Reject)

    Don't know how most of people take that but I think Payment & Approval/Reject notification should be there.

    imo paypal is the one to send the payment confirmation .. i agree with approval .. and if your directory is paid one and you refund when rejecting .. you can submit your comment about rejection with the refund.

    Well, that will work IF you only have PayPal setup.

    I accept e-gold & MoneyBookers as well and they don't send any notification to submitter. So, I need to have it setup at my end.

    Well let me tell ya about paypal... :D

    They contacted me the other day by phone regarding the yahoo spam filter and said that if you have a yahoo account as the main feedback then chances are that you aren't receiving your payment verifications on time so...

    If you havent been getting your notices on time or if they are in the BULK mail folder then....ya been warned :p

    PS... have you noticed the nice surprise you get now after you refuse a Link?
    ummmm yes a FEE as if they didnt get ya coming in they also hit ya going out now :eek:

    thx

    I send confirmation mails about submission and acceptance processes. I think it is easier for the submitter to check e-mails than visiting directory again and again and searching for his domain name.

    Confirmation should be given to all.

    It is a way of knowing where your money has gone to and it also enables you to keep tabs on spending.
