    I have been receiving couple similar offers ,one wanted me to give them 100 paid premium for free first then they will place order of 100 at 50% off.so they will get $13000 worth of links for $3250.00.I had to go look in mirror to see if i turned into santa clause lol.
    If one of us bends over for them,then they will expect all of us to.I rather have my site empty than fill it up and make nothing from it.And these guys usually charge the client our full price so effectively we are helping them get rich off our hard work.

    I'd negociate and offer him something else whilst keeping to your principles of featured listings for a year... perhaps offer him 10%-20% off the total...

    I've had numerous offers from seocompany... i didnt like their offer so we discussed it and came to a much better resolution ;) they wanted 100 free featured listings originally... needless to say that didnt happen.

    In all honesty i think some people have more money than sense!

    Considering the quality of the sites are good, you can still accept the offer:) But depends on how strict you are and how much you stick to the guidelines:)

    Right now all am gonna suggest is consider it a Tip and let them in:p

    for life means for as long as the directory is live in my opinion. If i get something for life and after one year they refused to compel anymore i would sue them.
