Hi guys and girls....got a few announcements! First things first, this morning I launched Directory Critic's new forum. It's been a long time coming, but the forum is finally launched after I'd been toying with the idea for ages. You can come over and promote your directories, network with other webmasters and directory owners and get info about what's going on a DC. I'm giving away a free listing in the webguide directory on DC for the first 100 members to hit 25 posts and another free link in the webmaster directory for the first 100 people to hit 50 posts. More info on that here. New way of ranking directories & new details pages. The new ranking system and details pages have been around for a while now but I thought it was worth a mention here. The way directories are ranked has now changed. Directory points are now averaged out over the time that they have been listed. This means that new directories (that have been listed for 2 weeks or more) have the chance to get their link onto DC's homepage. This system is much fairer and gives everyone a chance to move up in the lists, get on the homepage and get the benefits of extra return traffic. Also, we now moderate every single rating. We found that this is the only way to stamp out rate-rigging and dishonest ratings. So if you're going to try and game the system, don;t waste your time Finally, we've pimped out the look of the details pages on DC. Check this out, here's an example: http://www.directorycritic.com/viewdetails/1046859-Skoobe-Directory.html So I invite you all to head over a join the forum. You're welcome to promote your directory(ies) as long as you follow the rules
