Directory critic - No service?

    Hi guys,

    Just a quick question to see how other directory owners experience with these guys has been.

    I run two directories (no way I could maintain the hand review quality if I had more) yet both are incorrectly listed with directory critic. Despite numerous emails the Free PR2 general directory appears in the paid list as PR 0 and the Niche directory that is PR3 appears as PR 0, although this time in the correct category.... Seeing as both directories are well established (over 18mths each) and emails and contact forms have been filled out for nigh on a year I'm wondering if they actually update their lists?

    Cheers,

    Angus

    As I notice, they still add few new directories every week, but the list is not managed very well: there are many dead directories.

    In my personal experience, directorycritic is going down, they seems only approve paid submission now.

    Directory critic should definitely put it's act together. The least they can do is remove paid directories from their free list regularly. I see same directories there month on month.

    How much are you paying for this poor service that you are getting?

    Been hearing negative things about DC for some time now. If you search through the old dp posts you will probably find quite a few of the comments you may be looking for.

    the main reason might be the the "low level of dir market"
    These guys did well when there is lot of competition between directories :)

    If the directory critic owner is around, please someone pm me his working id. I would like to talk to the new owner.

    i listed my directory with them last week, was put in the incorrect category at first so i sent them an email, they responded within 48 hours and fixed it for me.

    btw u probably already know, but u can look at the access logs (link from the homepage) to see what is actually being approved and denied etc etc

    I emailed them twice because of a problem with them listing my directory wrongly. They never replied. Frankly, I'm of the opinion that DC is effectively dead!

    Yes directory critic has lots of article sites and directory sites and also it has niche directory lists...and every two and three days it will add new links but not maintained other directory and article list...in their list some of directories are dead now..and still it's live on their listing...
