    I've been busy the past week :) I've made some changes to Directory Critic and added some new stuff you might like.

    - No need to register to add your directory anymore
    - Already have 330 dirs listed (add yours here: http://www.directorycritic.com)
    - Drop down menus (way easier navigation)
    - Directory submission tracker

    The main thing I wanna announce is the directory tracking feature. With multiple sites, I've always had problems keeping up with new dirs coming out and which dirs I have submitted which sites to. This new system is designed to keep a record of which directories you have submitted a particular site to. You don't have to register, and you can track unlimited domains.

    At the top of each dir list on the site there is a box. Once you enter a new domain to track a record will be created for the domain in our database, and a cookie will be set on your machine to identify you as the owner. From then on every time you visit Directory Critic that domain will be available in a drop down menu and you can bring up which dirs you have submitted to for that domain. Make sense? The system is explained full on the site.

    The aim of this is pretty much to help webmasters keep up with new directories that come out and manage multiple sites. I'm on this forum (and other) webmaster forums keeping track of new dirs and adding them to my list. So if you're using this new system, you only have to visit directory critic once in a while and you will be able to see which dirs have been added and which you haven't submitted to.

    For this system to work for you, you need cookies enabled (I assume you call do anyways)

    This is just the first version, I'm open to feedback and suggestions.

    For those of you who own directories, check to see if you directory is on my list, if not, please add it. Thanks.

    Happy new year everyone!!

    I thought about adding my directory several times when I saw your various posts, but I think I am going to wait until it (my site) gets PR.

    Outdoor seems like a strange category for the RockaRolla Music Directory.

    I really like your site. I will probably be contacting you about advertising soon. :) Good luck!

    I have approved all dirs, cheers :)

    mystikmedia - Thanks :) I am going to be offering several different advertising options in the new year. (at the moment Im only offering spots in the "critics choice" box)

    David26 - the header on your new dir look cool!

    Just a note about the submission tracker...

    The directory tracker is not aimed at your existing sites (Unless you can remember every directory you have submitted to). Give it a try for your new sites. I tested it on 2 of my new sites this week and it worked a charm. Now as Im adding new dirs to the site I dont have to submit as I go. I just add new dirs daily, and once every few days go back to the tracker and add my sites to the new dirs.

    I like your site! Wanted to let you know about a typo on the free directories list:

    Directory Critic currently has 303 free directories it's database!

    You probably meant "in its database" or something like that, not just "it's database"! :)

    Added.

    We've now got 345 dirs in only 3 weeks of the site being up :)

    If you own a dir, check out our list, and if you dir is not listed please add it!

    Cheers!
