Feedback on latest idea

I just announced my new directory in the announcements forum

After some thought i decided on removing the description field on the submit page as submitters are paying for a REVIEW not just the link

So i thought i will review the website not just use the descritpion they would have submitted as that really is not a review is it also the same descripion would probably be submitted over and over. So the other bonus is detail pages would be UNIQUE

here is an example of one i have already done

your feedback is appreciated

 

Hi Choice, I really think that is a nice idea to have unique descriptions for your directory

 

Yea, I think so too,

Good job

 

Yeah, good idea. That is a very time consuming venture though.

 

yes but worth it

not all free links will get accepted as if i dont like the look of a website i just wont review it

 

very good idea, especially since you mentioned you had editors

 

Excellent idea...one of my newest projects will do something pretty similar (well, not quite but close )

 

Great idea. But if you will write reviews, why require link title and category to be submitted? URL and contact info should be plenty to determine appropriate category and come up with a keyword free title.

 

I award you +1 editorial integrity points.

Strange that the detail page doesn't mention what category (or categories) the site is listed in.

 

Looks like a good step, for me i would still remove the other info and ranking buttons at the bottom and replace them with something for the visitor or business.

 

It's a good piece of original thinking to get rid of the description field altogether. But as others have said, possibly a lot of work. This isn't just because you have to rewrite the description, because in most cases you end up doing that anyway. But without a description field at all there's nothing to base a rewrite on, so you actually have to dig around the website in question a little more to see what it's really offering.

By the way, the detail pages are redirecting to the home page for me.

 

This is called a true Review site..

Nice idea... Yes, that will keep you busy

 

It is a good idea I think! I hope you will get a good return on the time you will put on that. Good luck!

 

this was always the only way to build a directory imo
i would have left the description field and just used it as another source of information for our own review though..

 

the idea is not to rewrite the description but to write an actual review of the site NOT a description

by the way detail pages work fine now
