    As a way of The Orange Pages saying happy new year to all directory owners they are offering a FREE listing for directory owners only. Ignore the payment bit and submit as normal, the way phpld is set up it will let the submission through but where we normally delete anyone not paying if they are a genuine directory site you will be accepted.

    Happy new Year.

    So I'm wondering if any of the submissions were accepted? I can't seem to locate any of the directories listed in this thread or others that I know were submitted. :confused:

    Earlier I made a comment whether if they were really accepting any links as I kinda suspected that it was merly a marketing stunts, however I could still be wrong. But what type of sites are they accepting and why alot of those who submitted aren't seen..Unless it has one of those "DMOZ" like waiting period. Anyways not worth my effort. Good luck! with it as I wont participate on any of the future promotions from this person.:(

    Hi wwwws, no it wasn't a marketing stunt, it was a genuine offer, the problem that we came across was that virtually every one of them submitted gave genuine reason to refuse them. The offer was specific to directories correct? The problem we got was that of the 30 submissions we did get, more than 80% of them fell foul of submission rules.

    We are not going to divulge who submitted what, or what rules they broke, as the ones who submitted sites know exactly who and what they did unless you force our hand, but that would be embarrassing for them not for us.

    To give you one example, MintyFresh.biz posted, go and look at thier directory and this link then match it up with out guidelines and you'll get my drift.

    What we can tell you categorically is that any site that qualified as a directory and followed the guidelines has indeed been given a link as promised. No Gimmicks, not fake promises, just an honest offer to provide a FREE link to ANY directory that satisfys the guidelines.

    Hope this clears things up.

    p.s. For some reason I dont get updated on answers to my posts even though I did set my CP to get notified of all asnwers so I could give a swift response. I'll just have to stop relying in this and check up manually.

    p.p.s, Co-incidence or not, 2 more directories just submitted, both will be denied as they lack content, I am not going to stoop so low as to fully name them, they both know exactly who they are.

    First one, http://www.v***d.com/ had 50% of its categories empty, when it fills a little more it would be gladly accepted as it is of a good standard.

    Second one, was not only a sub-domain, http://www.m********e.com/directory/Arts-&-Entertainment/ but with even less content in its directory section. This site's main theme is A+ by the way and is full of content but its directory wasn't, the submittor also posted to Business Directory & Ratings - California and got past the submission system which perhaps demonstrates why I am so firm on promoting the features of the phpLynx script which takes a massive leap in helping directory owners monitor the content of thier directories with the aim of maintaining the highest of standards.

    I won't tell you which script I am using, you can have a guess.

    Further to the comments to my generous offer I should make it clear the people must read the how to use/terms/guidelines whatever you call it, that way dissapointment is avoided.

    Yes, I own phpLynx, I'm keeping the other script there to keep me motivated, besides, its a good script isn't it? You said it was, or was it my other half? I don't know! Am I going mad? :D
