Don't trust these directorys

    Well I had some free time a couple of days ago and thought I would check all me back links, recop links and bought link advertisements.

    I was shocked on what I found, I found at least 15 sites not displaying My link, most of these were site wide 12 month agreements

    So here are some of them , I know they were reasonably cheap advertising, but still, no one should remove your link unless there is a good reason, and they should contact you

    http://w ww.addasite.info/
    http://w ww.addyourslink.com/
    http://w ww.addyourwebsite.info/
    http://w ww.alivelinkdirectory.com/
    http://w ww.bestseosolutions.com/
    http://w ww.infinitywebdirectory.com/
    http://w ww.dmozdir.com/
    http://w ww.linkbuilding.us/
    http://w ww.dimebagmemorial.com/ This one is Parked

    So don't trust the above.

    BTW I emailed every one and only got a few replies, only one that replied I still have posted,he gave the reason that he was upgrading to 3.1, funny thing was that there were at least 30 links already but not mine, and I have given him time to put it up ,but still no link:rolleyes:

    That's Awful, Agree with maldives, buy links from trusted members and directories only. Many honest directories those who are not able to accept links are refunding full amount and some are like....

    Anyway, Thanks for sharing info

    Happened to me too, not the links you provided but a few different ones.

    One sold his directory and I believe both agreed on keeping the links or whatever. I went my rounds to find those directories I went to pay for and one I found out yesterday that a few links of mine I bought weren't there, this gives me minus 1 backlink for every one of my site. Luckily I manage to PM the former owner here and refunded me. The fee was small, the idea believing your links are live out there and discovering it later to be no where on site, gets me all hot and bothered about it. But business eithics.:mad:

    I never by regular links, i tend to go for sponsored listings with the top directories eg. alivedirectory.com or go for sitewide links on good PR directories... that way the number is lower but the quality is ultimately higher.

    Above Dirs are mine dirs. Today We recieved your email regarding your issue with your link not there at my dirs.

    We replied that we are upgrading our Dir script to 3.0.6 so all dirs are in upgradtiion stage. IF we would have deleted your links then check the CACHE of Dirs you will see your links in Indexing.

    Most of the Database have been upgraded And you can find your links at all Drres. If you have any issue let us know we are very happy to sought out.

    But I was hoping for a cooperative business behavoir form you and expecting you to be paitent enough to wait as we have already told you that no single link will be deleted.

    BTW please check your link at DIRs.

    I hope you are ok now :)

    I sent the email yesterday, You replied you are updating to newer scripts, that's fine, but your not upgrading all of them at the same time!

    When I spotted this all the above sites had many links except mine, don't you think that's odd?

    Put the links back up and that will be the end of It and warn ppl when you are updating your scripts, you can only update one at a time right?

    Yes mate you sent us email yesterday which we recieved today morning.
    It is not odd that we are upgrading all dirs at same time.

    Changing Database to newer Scripts does take time as your link was Home page link that was in the last of updation queue.

    But How ever We thought you will wait atleat a day after our email to see your link.

    Even your links was already Active when you created a thread.

    It was needed to be shared because. We always have adopted ethical business policy.

    BUt we also care for Client's (Madness) feelings. He was also right in his veiws. We appriciated his concern for his links.

    But them main problem was the different view of thinking of both parties.
    However i dont want to get more in to this nor i have much time. But i reallly like Madness's post behaviour.
    Thanks
    Sanjay

    I think you should give more time to people, Posting should be really a last resort.
