Big and Small Directory Owners should Read and Implement this

Thanks for the great post...

I see you following the same on your GII

 

Was waiting for such a article. Directory owners here are all misleaded

 

Nice post Amit, keep them with this quality.

 

"Small/New directory owners should accept that they were starting their directories just in hope big directory promoters would help them."

I see myself as a small directory owner and in the most polite way, i cannot accept that, ive never been hoping for a leg up from anyone in this business.

But i fully agree with the rest of your blog post, its been noted and greatly written about recently and i very much feel the same way, google doesn't want directories as they are at the moment, thats fine, they can and will become more than they currently are.

When we reach that stage google will then probably find a new problem and this will reoccure again but we will get through it, again...

 

Can you tell me
why is there a decrease in new directories now?
New directories are not penalised by google then whats their fear?

 

So what you want google to do ????

Their existence on earth is dependent upon how relevant and good results they return to the people who use google for searching. They are not webmasters alone. People around to world use it to look and find information. Hence Google's main aim is to return good relevant and quality sites on SERPS and they will do whatever they can to make sure of this.

Google is not here to help webmasters earn quick bucks. They are to provide information to people. Whatever they did with directories was right. The ones who are penalized deserved to be penalized. Period !

Il try

Because the directories that really do stay as completely standard wouldn't be changing anyway so those guys know not to waste their time, they know google really dont want those ones now.

More quality directories will be released before christmas, i have a niche in the works myself, ive read some more are going to be released from some regular members here.

The fear going around at the moment causes a lot of confusion, its similar to how you can hold a whole planet in fear with the threat of terrorism or nuclear war, sorry to use that as an example.

There are various different types of directory owners, the ones who know they will be making the right changes and the ones who know they may not be prepared to, or, with all respect to some of them, cant, because of other responsibilities.

Well regarding not expecting someones help and selling avatar and sig links, i believe that is a mutual agreement, theres nothing one sided there, i make some cash from it, and they get the promotion.

While im a new directory owner i feel i benefit more from selling a sig link and using the few dollars to promote into the directory, i wont only accept a sig for a directory either, as long as its not illegal i promote it in my sig.

Its nice the money from a sig, im the first to admit that, i never underestimate that, the fact i can make a few $ from a link on a forum that i dont own.

I never underestimate the knowledge that i gain from here, without the people here i couldn't do it, id have made some terrible mistakes.

But financially ive never had any thought or wish of relying on another directory owner, for a submission.

For the ones i do get, i am sincerely greatful.

 

What do i want them to do? i do not know to be honest, im irrelevant to them, im just one individual in one country.

I agree with you.

 

I can never speak for anyone else, myself only, but to give you a little insight into how i really feel myself:

This current situation has really given me the kick up the backside that i needed, while i felt that i was already doing enough i realise that ive still been imitating.

So as much as ive complained about google, even looked at it politically and got a little frustrated with myself at times it has been beneficial for me as it has made me look inwardly and make plans at what i need to do regarding my directories and keeping them alive and improving.

 

You know pipes I really like you and have been reading your posts, honestly. Whichever way this recent events leads the community into I just hope it goes to a more productive means leaving all those who have manipulated the system and deceitfully led most owners in unproductive ways. I hope some of them gets stuck there in limbo as it would be nice to see that these meatballs would be seen as the examples of what not to follow. There would always be people going around the system and beat the shit out of it, no doubt about that. Most of us are not are not that damn good about coding and seo but we do our best and rely on true people that would help us not just for the purpose of their self promotion but also with their true intentions to help, and there are a few of them around. Most of us already went after THE GOLD RUSH and that was part of the mistake and I guess we can all do better in the future days to come. Really, there were leaders and egg-beaters that surfaced at the height of the gold rush but it was wrong. It is important that US/WE should carefully think now by ourselves and not to let others sway our individual purposes whether we do this as a hobby or business. Lesson now is to be careful of whom we associate ourselves and whom we endorse because it is very wise to learn from the past mistakes to move on. There are people who have helped this industry a lot and for just a few fee or none; most of us nearly destroyed or condemned them by following the gold rush and the people who asked us not to support them. A good and wise decision and things that we have learned should and can hopefully be a part of that learning process that we all aim to move on.

Now there are people who emerges and says different sort of things with different claims. As I have said do whatever you do and what is right and that's about it. Because I don't give a sh*t whether they are the best blogger in town, the best coder, seo or any 60 year old mama who claims to be the best in the west. Whatever these nutholes are saying ultimately its for us to decide. If they don't want a link in my directory that's fine with me and if I want a link in their directory I will click it and pay no problem. As for the naturally built and natural look. I just add goat, sheeps, horses or whatever animals I could to my farm because THE FARM needs ANIMALS to be called ONE.

I guess the internet is far from being established and its just the beginning of a more usable atmosphere. I really do want to congratulate the students especially when they go for education rather than not. Most of them are selling their directories that they have built intensely and would drop it for education and that is very quality to me. But I hope they would really do it and not comeback with another username create a directory and sell it again. It seems there is no business ethics in these. But hey what do I know I just send my children to school too because they are not ready for business yet. In real life I haven't found any kid running a business by his/her own because its difficult. I guess the internet is so open for this but I see it can be done in the future as in real life.

End of Rant

 

This is right on the button but as I said to you I think that you are wasting your time on DP. How many of the members here understand the difference between a natural build and the natural look?

 

Thank you popotalk, i like you too and that is an awesome post that you just made, i think the changes that are happening will be very positive for anyone willing to embrace them.

 

Cheers its not that bad. Nice to see that you came back for more. This is where most of the changes are taking place and its a good place to be if you are interested in whats happening.

@ Malcolm1 i didnt understand your post.

It was mainly intended to those directories which are currently penalised by G.

 

Well I would say nice article, but you knwo whats the core problem here ??
There has been 100000's of paid directories came online within span of 1 year and offering paid links all over..
and that Hyip that google is hurting paid links, that all increased this problem. ..
hence i would simply say, try to delete those paid links which aren't good for your directory, links which are crappy.. and i am sure there'll be way to come out of it..
go for link baiting good blog posts and thngs like that and for sure it'll be back soon

 

very interesting. I will update my directories to the new age

 

well said there kaynocks.

 

The problem we had was directory owners talking up the value of their sites and creating a flawed economy. This gave rise to the belief that there is easy money to be had by conning web masters into buying worthless links. Has that changed?

By all accounts they are still making money hand over fist whilst the rest of us take the heat for their stupidity and greed. Weird the way these things work, isn't it?
