    Is that the QUALITY directory with the Pharmacy section? If thats the sort of level you will stoop to how can anyone believe anything you say? How did you get into Aviva with that sort of shite in your directory? Oh! I forgot you paid for a review and?
    You are just too quick for me. Despite he fact you are a complete imbecile I am answering your questions. I have nothing to hide. That is what transparency means. As for editorial integrity I answered that one and I am not sure what you are getting on about Google guidelines. Whats your question?
    What I am saying is that both directories offer a back link and that in time EcoGuides will attract quality traffic and interest from a niche commnity whereas Aviva will still be huffing and puffing if they manage to get through the year ahead.

    What did they bring? Other directory owners? I´m sure they never brought you real traffic.

    Though this is not for me- I felt I needed a few words here.
    Do you ever get ill? Can you survive without pharmacy? So why are you so much against them. DOUBLE-STANDARD?:rolleyes: These directories are also total BS -just like Alive/Aviva/my own directory--because they also have pharmacy sites listed.

    http://dir.yahoo.com/Health/Pharmacy/Drugs_and_Medications/
    http://directory.google.com/Top/Shopping/Health/Pharmacy/
    http://www.dmoz.org/Shopping/Health/Pharmacy/



    OK- as you so much love your link-farm, check on the footer of this page- http://dir.yahoo.com/ --

    When you understand that- just not hiding something is called transparency -then YES- I'll have to admit -you are totally unprofessional ( not that I am 100% that).

    About Google guidelines-

    Do you know that Google has banned reciprocal linking? And you still encourage it on your directory?

    workshop, i often have to re-read you posts to make sure im not imagining it.

    I checked your directory. Firstly, sub domain. No problem with that, but why not get its own domain?

    Nextly, its a public category dump. Thats just pure laze and your pupils wont learn much if you teach them that. Whilst i see you have been modifying the structure to make it more unique, why didnt you just start from scratch?

    Next the design. its just plain phpLD. whilst design is not important nor vital, it can also make the difference between a user staying to browse the directory or clicking the red X

    Next you say you offer good link value. But you also say you dont build links or care about PR - so how can you offer link value if your site itself carries no weight itself??

    And finally, how can you slag off sites like alive and aviva, when they have all the things you dont - design, category, resources, listed sites, link juice etc...

    Are you saying that I will find the sites smub listed in all three of those directories.
    Say that again. Someone might have missed it fist time round. As for the rest of it I cant make out what you are trying to say and assume its meant to be noise and nothing more.

    I have my own money. Why are you so concerned about me and what I make?

    Are you broke? Jealous? One of the little sticky fingers that runs to the 'report paid links' url? I'm guessing yes on all accounts.

    I asked you a question in my previous post, try answering it with proof and or facts other than he says she says posting.

    I want each directory master to specialise in a chosen field and to develop a niche interest around a general directory. As for the categories I don't have the time to go looking for myself and asked the installer to come up with something that will work. What you see is what he produced. Its not perfect but it was cheap at the price and its a lot easier this way round. What we are doing is intimidating enough as it is and I have found that this works a lot better. Finally by the time we start attracting regular users the whole site will look a lot different. Until then its between us and the web masters looking for cost effective linking options.
    Interesting question. If we forget about traffic and if we forget about PR and just look at what's left. What's the difference between the two sites? This is the point I have been getting at all along and that's precisely what I am going to prove.
    Must have missed it in my haste to side step the dog turd on the pavement. You dont ask queations and I dont care for your smug arrogance. You represent everything about this industry I dislike. But no I dont report paid links. You are your own worst enemy and I am not going to stoop to your level.

    First things first.. try specializing in a spell checker and then try to 'produce' something.

    So why develop a niche around a general category dump? That means those interested have to navigate to the niche, rather than it starting them in the face.

    1. im not seeking advice, i asked for opinion!
    2. This is a question of personal judgment and ethics: Agreed, but count the numbers on each side of the divide!
    3. common sense,....ok i give up, i should have stayed away from this thread,...!
    4. adsense was initially devised as a way to monetize from your personal site,.... yes loads of people misuse it and there we call those sites MFA sites,.... but this one has barely an ad a page,.... so he is monetizing from adsense and thus cannot be branded as made for adsense. Its purpose providing info on acne,.... it does that pretty well.

    it is but a fact that it is advised to put an ad a page, especially when its a new site to get the attention of Mr GoogleBot. Google for one has strict guidelines for adsense and it will regularly crawl your site to ensure you are following their Adsense TOS, .... the (good) side effects of this being your site gets crawled and updated regularly !
    (this is again my personal playing around with googlebot, plus some what i read around when i started SEOing my own sites 2 years ago)

    Need i say something here,... i dont think so...

    AND

    Contradiction: you use it on a directory to monetize! and the site giving full length info about acne a MFA :confused:

    By me, the only thing that is rotten about this industry is people who believe directories are only about back links!

    DMoz is a resource where people go and visit, and sites listed there, get good traffic!
    it does not give a rats shit about backlings or PR juice!
    hence it has respect from all SE.

    AND

    Contradiction again!

    We are not looking for traffic from the search engines and anyone linking to the directory can link straight through to the category that interets them. However at the end of the day the directory is the means to an end. The directory master should be able to earn enough reviewing sites on behalf of Google to allow them to build a site that they have always wanted. It is a good example of a symbiotic relationship where both parties understand and respect the other.
    ....and why does it provide info on acne? Could it be Made For Adsense or made for adsense or the MFA revenue that it generates? Do I need to waste my time answering your other questions?

    it could be a person who sufferred from acne,
    and is doing his best to provide info on acne for others to look into!

    had it been for MFA revenue,.... the guy is plain stupid for putting only one ad a page, where google TOS allows for 3 ads a page!

    the usual favourite format of all MFA sites are those big boxes right in the middle, usually 2 side by side.


    other Q. .... ur choice ... feel free to make excuses if you cant ;)

    How can someone with so much 'precision' miss something as plain as day?

    I represent those who care about their projects and actually DO SOMETHING about them, not sit on a forum all day and talk about how i am this and i am that. Sorry for you, in being the ladder.

    I am my best friend and you could never be on my level with your incompetent posting.

    Again, state the FACTS and only the facts, not your 2-bit garbage. Oh, that's right, you talk from your a$$terick!

    yea, you side-stepped right in the sh*t, not around it... maybe because you are it...

    A doctor wrote the content but its not a site that's owned by or managed by a doctor. Its not even used to advertise anything but the adsense and you say its not MFA. Help me out here. How do I explain to my people that if someone spends enough on their MFA site and that if they spend enough "promoting" it, its no longer made for adsense as its monetised using adsense. They are not going to understand this because it looks as if there is one law for the rich and affluent and another for all the rest.
    You wouldn't know anything about proxy attacks would you? But lets not go there. Try answering this one smart arse.

    A site without backlinks and hence PR, and without traffic is not much use. Its not really a website, just some html files.

    The content of alive and aviva bring in traffic, so dont start writing BS that your directory masters and some links and that makes them better somehow...
