Bluefind Directory

Perhaps you missed this just above in your rush to post your usual crap, WilliamC.

Interesting choice of words coming from you

 

Well I do love scrolling past tons of bickering! But there must come a point when we get back to the issue that concerns most of us. Is Bluefind worth submitting to now?

My understanding is that the directory is getting reorganized. I always guessed that the Google penalty was due to the organization (or lack of it) because that made the directory hard to use for humans. Bluefind's PR 8 was high profile enough fro Google to come along and drop the penalty.

Turns out I was wrong and it was more about duplicate content. I never saw that coming because all those DMOZ clones get away with it...

Anyway, if the directory has PR and is human friendly, what's not to like?

 

Maybe if you actually opened your eyes and read my post you would havenoticed I included mels comment in there. Also Mel posted well in advance of me posting to John. He did not get into this discussion at all.

Yes, useless banter and silly flames.

 

Now you are just lying through your teeth. BlueFind had a robots.txt excluding all bots before, and I had BlueFind entirely removed from Google. It wasn't showing PR anywhere before 04-04-2006.

Good imagination you have. I don't think there is any member on my forums who will back up everything I say. People tend to think their own thoughts and that is a good thing.

Nope, you showed some stats, nowhere near 11 million UV, of websites you did not indicate you own. Which websites were those, and where are the stats? Post the websites whois and the stats.

Lying huh?

You blocked the robots from the /dir directory yes, but not the front page as I recall.

Oh and pagerank is not from a robot, though you should know this, as it is basic knowledge. PageRank is based on links only. If the only data google has to base on is inbound links, then it can still show a pagerank for the page even if you did indeed have them blocked.

Oh, you mean the corporation whose license expired in december of 2005? Heh.

Yes, you keep refering to this single article. That does not discount the fact that in literally hundreds, if not thousands of posts on your forums, you did in fact sell links based on pagerank by inferring to people the benefit the PR8 would have.
Sorry John, but a single article amidst hundreds or more, just does not cut it

 

At that time, I removed BlueFind entirely from Google's index. Where did you get the idea it had PR of any kind before the update?

Yup, that one. No coproration is saying anything here - I am, and I have residence in Washington. Quit making up excuses and bring on that imaginary legal action already. Drop me a PM if you want my attorney's contact info.

 

Now that's too much, WilliamC -- asking people to actually "read" your posts? If there were any credible content in anything you've ever posted, it might be just too tempting to resist, but as it is it's all just the same old vitriolic crap and attempted character assassination over and over again. I'm afraid even skimming what you post is more than I can stomach most days.

 

Thanks for admitting that you post useless garbge about posts without actually reading the post. Says a lot about you mate

 

From a nifty little checker we have running for 100's of sites. It helps us see when an update has started, generally before many others. Not difficult to do now that some people have released the code to check PR via script to the public.

You posted the bit about the corporation as if any information towards suing you could easily be attained by that. The corp was registered thru a proxy or registered agent if you like. The washington SET website shows no useful info. So providing that you had a WA corp was just another attempt to make people think you were not hiding when in fact you were actually giving nothing away. Not bad, but too easily found out.

 

Like I said Will, if you want my attorney's info, just ask I'm betting you're full of BS.

Nope, the URL wasn't even in Google's index.

 

Just answer the PM, and we shall see

 

As I said, I can get all of the substance from your posts with a fast skim. In fact, I can get all of the substance from most of your posts by not even skimming them.

Always love your fake British colloquialisms by the way, WC.

That kind of bet is hardly taking a big risk when it comes to WilliamC, is it, John?

 

Yes, that was apparent by your being 100% wrong in your flame post. ZzZzZzzz...

Which would those be exactly? I spent 9 months living in brisbane Australia and picked a few things up of their lingo, but have never used anything uniquely british that I recall at all "ya wanker"

Ooops, ok so maybe I did just this once

 

Haven't read the latest posts in this thread but just noticed the new style bluefind went online.

Good luck with running and promoting your 'restyled' bluefind web directory.

Thanks

We'll be having free submission days so stay tuned.

 

I love free submission days! What are you going to do about people like me with 100s of submissions lined up and ready to go?

 

Hi Jim,

We'll do it by category, I think. I want to get the regional categories populated.

Didn't you do that on Sevenseek a while back? Submit one and get a regional lisitng free or something? Or you could do what WoW does and require people to submit to a regional category in addition to aregular one.

Personally I just don't bother with regionals on my directory...

 

Here's an interesting news item about WilliamC's recent professional activities, in case anyone is curious.

Meanwhile, the rest of the C family seems to be on vacation in Chicago.
