Which directories are worth the time and which aren't

    I say:

    Google - for adwords
    Yahoo - the best general portal
    MSN - it's Microsoft
    Tygo - cheap and could be good
    Industry verticals - highly targeted
    AOL - they are big
    Mirago - strong reputation
    Lycos - established

    The post doesn't make much sense? Google - for adwords? Google adwords is not a directory. And Lycos is almost shutting down.

    Agreed, it's a little confusing.

    Aren't AOL's results supplied by Google, anyway? That and the fact that neither are directories. And doesn't Mirago more or less supply supllementary data to its partners with its main directory drawn from the ODP?

    Lycos Eurpoe is dying — check out the article.

    So Lycos Inc. isn't dead yet — but the death of Lycos Europe isn't helping it.

    Er, basically which directories are worth bothering about I guess. Seems to be lot's of views and that of "yeah, it's cool" or "this send me tons of link juice" - just not how many clicks do you get.

    Many posts about PR, ~ is that all people care about now? Personally, when I buy a link, I want to know what the traffic is like eg: is it constant - that kind of stuff.

    So which directories are best. Name 10 decent ones.

    People tend to want link value over traffic though, so a directory that provides both is great.

    The original post makes no sense at all.

    I agree with hyper, its event king back under a new name, you can tell because he posts to annoy people and talks about having unique ideas constantly.

    Which directories are worth the time and which aren't

    Google - for adwords

    Are you drunk or something?

    When your banned, and you will be, again....

    Think about moving on.

    Don't know who this event dude is or me. You're entire rant is based on a similar posting style, yeah whatever you rekon.

    You don't know anything, and you're just trying to be clever to impress your mates on here. Here's why you're taking crap:

    If we're chatting, and you ask me what business I'm in, I could paint a very rosey picture, and you wouldn't know if I was distorting the truth or not.

    Same goes for identities on forums.

    So many lie on the web it's a joke, and I ain't talking about the scams either. The thing is you never know who you are doing business with or talking with, and because the internet is made up of just web sites, it's too easy to be something you're not or hide, change email addresses, use fake names, change ISP's, use dynamic addresses, talk bs and even start arguing and stuff. All you have is this name eventking and that can be changed can't it.... This eventking person could come on here next week using the name Blue-Tree003534 , and you wouldn't know it's the same person.

    Disguises are safety nets, false ego boosts are fantasy and desperation is frustration and failure. :rolleyes:

    So a couple of you guys have gone to some lengths of tracking down an old forum member, seen that some posts are similar and think that's the truth. Well, you wasted your time didn't you OMG, it's so funny. :D

    Actually I got news for you, er see those posts by Red_Knight, er, most don't even belong to me, I go to other forums and get basic posts so I don't have to type them. So any similarity in style is coincidence, and that's why this is so amusing.

    I could be a youth, a pregnant mother, or serial killer - so probably not a good idea to make dumb assumptions, or annoy someone with pathetic bs.

    Nopey, this is a case of ~ you guys enjoy getting stuck into a good, pointless argument with only one aim - to win at any cost. Some sort of thrill in it hehe.

    I know your primary school teachers can be under a lot of stress, the menopause can be a very difficult time, and you have been bullied and this mad post of yours is revenge. Relax a bit in life and don't take it too seriously. :rolleyes:


    He probably did that because you pissed him off, like you're doing with me.

    Never rub another man's rhubarb :D


    Temper, temper, 'Mom capitaine' But sounds like your a man of experience on that score. Bit of advice for you, if you attack, expect to get it back.


    I do so only because it suits me. But I cannot promise not to appear again.

    I have no mates on forums, im simply calling you out. :)

    I must say i agree with you 100% regarding fake indentities.

    I haven't tracked anyone down, i happen to spend everyday on dp so patterns emerge.

    No actually it's an advertisement off a TV channel. Wrong again :rolleyes:

    People take logos and images from Google and Yahoo etc every day, so you'd better sue the world for copyright - good luck with that by the way :D

    Gave what away you mad person? I simply said 'others get rich', 5000 people a day post stuff like that on various forums and blogs - it don't mean shit.

    See this is insane lol :D

    Actually you're the beserker, I'm a spirit walker and so have the vision to see what is hidden to the mundane world.

    People who write long, antagonistic posts in well-written English are few and far between.

    People who come to a forum, post prolifically, and seem to want to be in conflict with (and consider themselves smarter than) the regular contributors are rarities.

    People with double-barrelled, underscored handles...

    People who do not want to say anything about their own Websites...

    :eek: You're right, I'm stark raving mad :rolleyes:

    Thanks. Life has been a bit dull the last few days and this is a nice change from the typical 'PHPLD is the best. I use it' posts. Great belly-laugh stuff.
