    Can anybody tell me how freewebindex.com would look as directory ? Free right?
    But its paid..

    How good is to change such free domain name containing directory to paid one :confused:

    As long as its free for the users rather than the submitters you will be fine.

    I think it's quite annoying when people say their directory is free in the
    Solicitations & Announcements forum, and then it isn't :( But that's just me..

    Can't say I fully understood you correctly. My guess as to what your saying is that your refering to the name of Free.com but in actuality it's Paid.com? Correct? I'm sure this people who might have purchase the name with a Free word attach to it did have an intention of being free, then as it got popular it probably realize that it could capitalize on it.

    It's one of the reason why I avoid buying a domain with a "free" word attach to it, it would be a commitment for life, I can undestand that one must reward itself after all the hardwork making it popular, but the name is very misleading to me and if I ever did approved to list those sites with "free" name and offers no free things I will delete the free listing that is on my directory, I am never a fan of misleading or bad marketing and any domain with a free attach to it should have something free to it.

    Yes i want comments on free word in the domain freewebindex.com

    when they become popular, they change it to paid :(

    My directory is becoming popular, should i make it paid on next G update ? Nope..
    I also made it with domain containing free word and never thought this would happen.

    Take it up with mystikmedia if you have a problem with his directory and naming conventions.

    So it is owned by mystikmedia - Great .. :cool:

    The problem is “addurlfree.com, “freewebindex.com” it’s free for the visitor not the submitter :)

    Contrary to what is being said in this thread and with regards to memories falling short, chris did open it for free in the beginning, shortly after which it became paid.

    Now the Index is free and for your viewing pleasure.

    Stop whining about it. If you want to be in it, cough up the cash, or continue to admire it without your presence being in it.

    Amen!

    The reason most directories switch from free to paid is not only about popularity. If you have never been a directory owner, you will never understand this point. Free isn't just about those who utilize it. :eek:

    bah.. everyone makes mistakes. You know i'm not bitching on you saad ;)
    It's geared towards those crying about a naming convention.
    If the domain expired today, there is absolutely no doubt in my mind, that any one of these other people in this thread who are crying about it, would turn it into a PAID directory, because of its PR and strength.

    I am not crying man, I was looking for comments about what other feels.
    There is no reason to tell such words.
    I know you are a great person in directory world, that doesn't mean you can say anything.
