    Im glad you have mentioned this, so basically it helps them spy more, their job is easier when it comes to smashing your directory to bits with a virtual hammer.

    Of course. What do you think the toolbar PR is for. Free data. They dont release stuff for free. They want data in return.

    Its a shame, i guess its the price we pay for having access to the internet and easy to retrieve information.

    Google it's not just a search engine...it is a living little devil who can smash your hard work when you expect it less. This is why it is still number one.

    Yes, a devil for sure, it should be called Diablo or Baphomet or something similar. :)

    For some reason, people always remember bastards.

    Google is playing dirty because he chooses his "opponents" very carefully. There were ppl that declared that their traffic from Google has increased after submitting to AvivaDirectory.com. They were not happy about that max 50 hits from Aviva... they here happy about those comming from search engines.

    Some of them are my friends and told me that "they still receive love from Yahoo". :)

    To be honest, I think that the paid directories will always remain valuable web catalogues, even "the big G" will penalise most of them.


    P.S: In this world,there are other search engines, not only Google ! and if Google will keep banning and penalising, other search engines will become more and more used. ( like Pepsi and Coca-Cola :D )

    I see 1 goal achieved now. I had 4 submissions after that code and Analictics shows only one.
    But how do I track the place or the URL it came from?

    True, could be a good thing, helps power up the other search engines and gives them some weight.

    Similarly im always encouraging people to sign up with other payment processors, not to rely so much on paypal.
