    Hi guys,

    Looking to get some more submissions flowing through our highly trafficked directory list: Info Vilesilencer

    To submit you first need to Sign Up for Membership, which is free.

    Once you've signed up and submitted we'll review your submission for a listing.

    Free general directory owners please note that we are extremely strict so your content should be high quality or we will not include you. This means that if your directory contains any kind of spam we aren't going to include you. Please familiarise yourself with What Constitutes a Spam Listing?

    We are particularly interested in Niche Directories so if you are a niche directory owner (paid or free) please submit your resources for a listing. We are far less strict on these resources, but we still won't tolerate obvious spam.

    What are you waiting for??? Head on over and submit away.

    Dan,

    when you say
    "Free general directory owners please note that we are extremely strict so your content should be high quality or we will not include you".
    maybe you should be a little stricter and say " If after we have added you to our list and we find out you are advertising that you are free but deleting free admissions and only accepting paid admissions, we will remove you from our list!!!"
    maybe your list will be more respected as it was when i came across you a few years ago..., because it is now just like any other directory list.

    reason i'm saying this...,

    i applied for your hand picked submissions service, sent the details and never received a reply or anything (yes, i checked my spam folder)..., i decided to spend and hour submitting to the "free" directories on your list, taking note of the pending submissions e.t.c, after a few days, i find out that pending is none and all the latest links are only paid for links.
    i've checked my title and description for key word stuffing and i'm o.k with this as i applied to a well known high ranked paid directory and i was accepted so i know i'm O.K...,
    basically, the common denominator is paid and greed..

    maybe you could say "If you are not going to accept free links, DON'T advertise or call yourself a FREE directory".

    Appreciate the feedback. However - We are not, and never will be, just like every other directory list. Anyone that spends 5 minutes on our site will recognise that :)

    Sorry to hear that you didn't receive a reply from us. Perhaps you could PM me your email address OR the name you used on the submissions form, so I can take a look and see what happened.

    If you truly believe that a directory isn't including the listings, there is a [report directory] button on the site. We provide our resources for free for the community to use. If the resources don't work for you, send us a reason why.

    I wouldn't assume that because you were accepted by a paid directory that your information is ok. In fact, 9 times out of 10 this is the reason people get rejected. I would also be happy to look at that for you and offer any advice.

    Your final suggestion is a practice that we already are involved in, so I would put the ball back in your court, and ask that if you find this not to be true with any of the directories. Then report them. If you find it's not true with ALL of the directories then the problem probably isn't the directories themselves. Sorry to say.

    Ok. I've responded to the email. Please confirm if you received.

    BTW... I did actually get your first email and responded on it, so I don't know why you never received it.

    I'd like to submit my paid blog directory but from what I can see niche directories need to be free, or am I missing something?

    Not sure what you are asking marki8.

    We do have an IVS button, that will allow you to vote for directories if the button is placed on your site. But this is currently not active on the IVS site. I may look at implementing that at some stage this year.

    Hi marki8. We do have a button that will do that, but it is not currently active on the site.

    Essentially, how it works, is that each directory has it's own unique button code that links to the that directory's button on the site. I click on that button on YOUR directory, would update the vote count for your directory on IVS.

    But. As stated. It's not currently active. We will look at implementing it later this year.

    Just submitted my paid niche dir, although there seems to be only two options, either "general free" or "niche free" in that drop down, thanks

    The paid suggestion was for those who have special membership. Though we generally do add good paid directories regardless.

    Server drops out occasionally, it is under heavy load. When that happens check back later it'll be online :)

    We've cleared our review queue and are looking for more directory owners to submit their directories.

    Would really love to see some niche directories come through the door. But general directories are just as welcome. Submission is free :)
