Alive Directory Blog Post - Comprehensive Tips and Guide for Web Directory Owners

Nice one mate, its not a problem you disagreeing on captcha, I think the opposite and say that any self respecting submission service would respect the reasoning behind the need for captcha of some level, even if its just a small text question like 'Is the Moon Yellow', it stops clowns from spamming.

Sure you can force payment and even auto-delete the submission if payment is not carried out, but not every script has that. I'm not bigging you up unecessarily mate, but your one of an elite bunch I would trust as a submitter for my own reasons.

In saying that though I'd be a hypocrite to say absolutely no to non captcha, I'm re-populating the orange pages now as a paid job and one of the things I made sure to do is to get rid of the captcha that was there and the level of payments made have increased dramatically, but there is a forced payment there. But it does go to support your view on it.

 

congrats on the blog ... u finally got to this ... how many u have in ur list to go haha

remember you have yet to make a list of all the templates u have sponsored

 

The list is going to be more than a few hundreds certainly.

 

I have another post already planned, and I indeed want to get all the templates in there.

 

Nice article Chris, gonna bookmark it and carefully use all tips in there when i open my first directory.

 

Nice to see Alive Directory have a blog now.

It's certainly going to be great resource and hopefully we will be getting some really informative articles

Nicely done Chris

 

Chris finally getting into the future of the internet. Having your first blog will be a joy just keep adding fresh contents on it daily and it will be a big success. The article was damn good did you write it yourself?

 

Thank you. Yes, I wrote it myself.

 

Wow sweet new design.

 

Good article.
I'm waiting for the next article.

 

I just gave the article Digg #15!

25. Clearly state the price for each listing package directly on the submission page!

26. Clearly state the term (monthly, yearly, or permanent) of each listing package directly on the submission page!


Directory owners, for all that is good and Holy, please do these basic things; if not to increase your profits, to respect the time and effort of submitters who have the silly desire to know in advance what they are getting for their money!

The next blog post has been added now also.

 

I don’t think there is anything left to cover in this topic.
That’s what I call, comprehensive right up.

How much time you have given to write that article ?? (must be a lot )

 

Thank you for your feedback.

I actually didn't keep track of the time it took to write it because I always take notes first as thoughts come to mind, and then write the actual post...

 

Not quite what I meant, but close. Thanks for letting me know of the issue.

As for the error, that's because I was uploading a file at the time. It will work fine already now...

 

wonderful thing. another great effort from mystikmedia. Thanks once again.
