Many of you have probably received a site rejection email from me recently. This is not because your site sucks. It was rejected because YOU did not submit it. I was obviously spammed by a directory submission service, who submitted about 110 sites within 2 and a half hours. My free offer at MyDeepLinks.com is for DP members, for personal submission. Not spam submissions. If you feel that I have made an error with your submission, let me know. I figured that this would be the best place to contact most of the webmasters, because there were alot of familiar sites within the spam. The offer is for actual DP members to submit their sites personally. thank you
Hi, just curious as to what makes it spam? If I submit my site it's ok but if someone else submits it for me it's not ok? Why would that be? Thank you.
If they were good sites with proper descriptions it must be approved. So what if someone used a submission service? After all a human only did the needful though using a software? PS.: A general answer I never submitted to that site, if I will I will also use a submission service and if you gotta reply back in such a way, well I would prefer not to submit to any of your websites.
The fact that 110 submissions came from the same IP address. I am not trying to create a link farm. I am not trying to fill the directory with every submission that I receive. I provide an added service for deep links. I spend my personal time creating individual deep link detail pages for every submission, so... I am not going to spend my time creating webpages for submissions, in which the webmaster did not know he/she submitted until now. If they want to take advantage of the service, they can just let me know. That was the point of the thread.
Nothing "must" be approved. Especially 110 website submitted within 1-2 minutes of each other, from the same IP address. I am not creating a link farm. (read my previous reply) I have nothing against submission services, but if a webmaster, like you, who has never been to my site receives an approval email. What are the chances that you will return to the site after I have spent time creating a personalized details page for you. Why should I waste my time, when until now noone knew they had submitted. They can contact me if they are interested in taking advantage of my deep links service. My Renewed Web Directory accepts submissions from everywhere, but all I have to do is click a button to approve the sites. It does not require time to create detail pages.
I clean all automated submissions before I even look at the links. This is just good business and keeps your directory clean. If you don't have the time to submit your site to directories yourself, don't bother hiring someone else to do so. It's quite obvious when people do this and it is super easy to filter out. "If they were good sites with proper descriptions it must be approved." - Nothing must happen, everything is up to the directory owner's policies. Personally, I'm sure there are many unhappy submitters out there as I reject upwards of 90% of submissions to my directory. Keeping a tight control over your directory is the only thing that separates the quality from the crap (paid or free directories). Keep up the good work homepage, rep added for not taking the easy way out.

Sundaybrew - you are out of line. This is not what this thread is about. Perhaps you are acting so aggressively because you are the person responsible for spamming the site. Secondly, this duplicate content thing. Are you saying that there are duplicate websites on the directory posted up by homepageofthemonth? I followed the links you posted up - are you saying that there are duplicate websites and descriptions on the site? This should have been the subject of a personal message before you opened your big gob in this thread.
Only 1 of my pages shows the content...So what is your freaking point. That Wengchun submitted the same description to multiple sites. How is that a concern of mine...it is his description. I bet that I can find dub content for tons of directories. Why the hell would you post this here...just to harass me, or sell something, or are you the one who submitted all those sites?
I was just letting you know, This thread was titled don't take things personally and I just wanted to let you know that many 'spammers" might thing your directory is spam because your directory is less valuable with this kind of content,.... Dup content should always be a concern to any webmaster I don't have anything to sell or any sales speech at all BUT - I know MANY serious webmasters and directory owners like to hear how they can improve there sites. I just thought I would let you know how you can increase the value of your website, Nothing personal just though you should know ... Yea - Not me man, I was just being friendly and letting you know how to attract better submissions, Thats all
Okay so the accusation is that there is repeat copy on homepageofthemonth website (title, website and description) as there is on other websites! God god, welcome to the world of directories
You are not being friendly, you are being hateful for no reason! Then why have you included an ad for some stupid software like Copyscapebanner. I have no need for your advise. Do your sponsors know that you act this way? How can you say my site is crap? At least I offer something unique! I am not going to patrol every description that people submit. Webmasters should control their own submission descriptions, if not, how will their description be unique to search engines. It is up to the webmaster!
Copyscape is a good tool, but anyway maybe you should of rewritten submitted descriptions to keep it unique to your site? What is unique about a directory?
You should go to my site for the answer. You don't have to like it, but noone offers what my directory does. Enough defending myself...more important things to do, than trying to make sense of everyone's criticisms.
um, I thought that was the point about excluding automated submissions. If you aren't doing it because you only want unique, human typed, content then what is the point? Go ahead and let the bots submit. I filter out this stuff because EVERY auto-submission is just the same crappy content that is on every other directory. That does not mean that humans don't copy/paste, it just helps get rid of ones that I know are duplicates before I even lift a finger. And before someone runs my site through copyscape, I am not claiming to be perfect ... just striving to be better. It's about the effort
