    I just received a newsletter from Aviva Directory/Jeff, it says:

    Aviva is proud to announce the acquisition of a new directory: the professionally designed and edited Umdum Directory. Umdum Directory has been chosen by the prestigious Search Engine Journal as one of the internet's 10 best directories. Please consider submitting your sites there. Also, look out for new developments with Umdum in the future.

    Congratulations Jeff. :cool:

    Celebrating this success and acquisition Jeff has also declared a discount coupon for Aviva submissions:

    Starting July 15, Aviva Directory is offering a special of $20 off per submission, whether regular or featured. To get your discount, simply enter the coupon code "xxxx" in the submission page when you are submitting your website. This coupon code is effective until and including July 31, 2007.

    Goahead enjoy the great discount!

    Not to forget Umdum Directory is one of the internet's 10 best directories... Congrats once again Jeff, All the best with the Directory. :cool:

    I'm not sure this discount was for public eyes as it was sent to Aviva Listings only. Just FYI.

    BTW, there is a thread about the newsletter already.

    Also, Umdum was "chosen" as one of the 10 Best Directories by Search Engine Journal's Loren Baker, whom previously owned it. A little bias there ;)

    Congrats on the purchase, Jeff! I'm sure you will bring Umdum to the ranks of Aviva and your other directories!

    How they say it as one of the 10 best directories in the web?

    On what basis?

    I am just curious to know!

    Congratulations Jeff for this purchase

    No basis, editorial bias at SEJ. It was written by the owner (former now).

    I think Jeff will develop it further to be strong and considered a top directory, but currently it's not in the ranks of the 10 best.

    I would like to reserve the "the top 10 directories" for other directory". I'm very interested in the top 10 directories list as I'm creating one and this one does not qualify for this list.

    I'm waiting for Jeff to give us the coupon code as I'm would like to submit some listings.

    I wish him good luck and hope to see a post from him very soon.

    I'm pretty sure they won't tell you that info. Financial info is no no for most directory owners.
