    Sounds like someone new to SEO has done the submission, as well as written the copy on the site.

    And yet you provided a live link here. Nice spam dude. Gotta say it's original.

    it gets better! I declined the listing. So they resubmitted the same listing again without any changes (maybe they think I am as mad as they are??). I declined again. Guess what? They submitted again but this time all the details were the same but they just missed out the title all together??

    Anyway, I sent the person an email saying that they owe me an apology for spamming my directory and also included the link to this post. I said I would edit the post and removed it if they apologised. They emailed back and said...

    "Hi Lee, I do love to see someone with a good sense of humor keep it up. "

    ...so I have :eek:)

    Hmm just read the first line of their homepage and they're so keen to get the P word in they missed a whole word out.

    You should definitely have a ban domain mod on your directory to handle such fools.

    LOL that's hilarious, I like the template though.

    You should email him back with a link to a DP SEO thread!
