    Ok heres your 2 minutes and after this lets have a commercial of Baby Oats. :D
    Though we are battling here with each other we know what is going on in the outside world and for even a milli second and don't wink your eye, we can read and we know what we are doing.
    Dude since 3 years ago I have made about 50 blogs myself about a big directory and its evilness it does not change a fact that the directory industry is here to stay.
    Sorry dude I don't take drugs to stay awake and I need sleep because I am diabetic. :D
    George Bush is also in crisis but it does not change the fact that he is still president and I am a democrat. :eek:

    Ok dude your time is up. Just submit anything if have something then we will review it. If you don't like it go to your business forums and do your thing there.

    Next:rolleyes:

    Like i said ... send me your paypal info and link and ill refund you..

    If you have something intelligent to say or wish to ask a question then do it

    I dont want to hear "hypothesis or theories" on anything without PROOF or atleast evidence
    (you posted and said "nothing about nothing" and just started woofing about us)

    when you make a comment show us proof rather then what you "think will happen"

    If you cant then that i have to think your just trolling and trying to disrupt our conversation...

    thx

    I'm not after good replies - in fact I could not give a shite.

    I'm actually wanting you guys with directories to fix this stuff, and it seeems to me that "someone" has to turn up and say some controversial stuff to get you all thinking.

    I'm happy to take on that roll of "someone"

    Again - I hope it all gets fixed - but somebody need to stand up and say "this is wrong" - in the vain hope one or two might think "hey - he has got a point"

    Red rep me all you want - I dont care

    You will make a bigger difference if you are not being a dick about it. Have you tried being civil? You'll notice that most of the people here are. In fact, most of the people here will treat you with respect if you are a respectable person. Even if you personal views and opinions do not match.

    Come in with 20 posts and a cocky attitude however and all you're doing is rooting for the other team.

    Awww...that takes all the fun out of it.

    Christ, if your not trying just imagine if you was!!! John holmes look out! :rolleyes:

    Your dead right here, and its by a chosen bunch of tits that started it, and do you see them posting here, NOPE. (See Malcolm, I don't view you as a tit).

    As a zillion people told me here when I first toddled along with my opinions, introduce yourself first, get the red reps out of the way and then post your views. Don't make the same mistake I made and come in and appear that you know it all. Your right on most points but put them across correctly.

    Read my threads, I don't give a rats arse if I please or offend, but I do respect each and every one here, well except for one or three. :D

    Mind you Wealdie, my reds are coming back so the truth is hurting some. ;)

    Wealdie is just an angry customer. That is, if he really did spend hundreds on directory links.

    I guess I'm a no one as well. Just like to read a lot when it comes to the SEO world. But I too am a customer and am worried about my investments going to waste.

    All I have to say on this topic is that theres definitely something wrong and is a clear warning by Google. If your want to ignore it and keep your head up, then go ahead. Perhaps you didn't do anything wrong or feel like you didn't do anything wrong. That by all means is fine.

    If people really don't care about what Google thinks, then so be it right? If I was a directory owner, only thing to do is to take measures in fighting the points they may have about directories. Perhaps a PR2-3 link from a quality directory is 10x better than a PR4-PR6 link from a directory who chases pays for high PR links.

    I still don't see this the end of directories though. Theres still a lot of ones left out there that Google doesn't seem to mind. Perhaps trying to be like them is what will keep directories going. As a customer, do better research before purchasing a link. For those who don't have what it takes or even the resources to build a quality directory, just get out of the business. Find something new. Go build a proxy site or something.

    I'm sure the smarter ones see whats going on, so no need to keep pointing the negative stuff out. It just looks like your crying out for attention (Pheonix guy and a few others).

    "I see whats wrong, do you guys as well!?!?"

    hello...

    your directory was cached on Aug 30th and you have 140 indexed pages

    your site is listed Here and Here

    No visible penality from what i see...

    everyones indexed pages are fluctuating and jumping but only 140 seems weak...


    Your backlinks are horrible and that is why you probably dropped in rank


    thx

    Dear Steve

    Don't worry about your investments though we are experiencing the effect of a nuke your investments are safe and in good hands on my co-directory owners. This is a matter between us but rest assured if the investments are on those that have been affected they are still strong and it will stay there. Trust me I have made an investment too I think we all did and it does not worry me at all. PM me your site and I will look at it and see what I can do for you for being polite. No need to be angry. :)

    Thanks

    Not all directories are affected. A small subset is only. They actually have quite a bit in common, for anyone interested in doing the research on why the might be penalized.

    IMHO, these are 90 day penalties designed to cause the site owners to "fix" a few blatant issues. So far most of the affected directory owners have made no comment on the issue at all.

    But I think it's important to say the reality is only a small minority of all directories on the internet were hit by this. These directories really aren't as influential as people keep trying to let on.

    Nicely said and I hope your message gets across but I doubt it if most of them do.

    Very small and a select few but few of those select few don't deserve it but the others they needed to be flushed.
    The suckers and kissers will always be a part of the game because these people can't stand up on their own.

    I really have to wonder about you popo...

    I sense much hatred in your heart due to your personal feelings with other owners or your competitve ways
    and dont want mixed up in your battles so i ask that you dont try to get me in the middle of your little wars.

    popo you agreed in brians thread that you also chased PR links at one point in time..
    the fact is we all where so as to keep up with each other as well as have the PR chasers submit

    Well ill be the first to admit that i would have been in the same boat as most off these owners but i was to
    busy building my network and was spared due to timing and nothing more as im a risk taker and gambler.

    Im very certain many would have loved to see myself fall as well so they can sit here and talk shit but im
    not that easy to get rid off as i adapt to anything tossed my way. ;)


    Now ...

    I ignored your comments in your last post about sponcers and $$ suckers kissing and whatever other little snid remarks you made..

    The fact of the matter is...

    Im not so quick to abandon my colleges and friends at the first sign off trouble as im loyal to them and we all try and
    work together and not apart for All our futures... "yes you included"... as your still on my messeger list :p

    United We Stand Divided We Fall

    If the grim reaper ever comes calling dont think for a moment you alone will be spared



    thx

    I know hatred. I also know anger. Thats why I speak out when I see abuse and spineless scavangers preying on those who know no better. I know hatred only too well and much prefer those lusty red eyed devils to the soft shallow folly I see all around me.
    ....and where are these friends of yours right now? What more needs to be said?

    You dont know whats been going on behind the scenes ....
    just what you "think" you know.

    the only reason you speak up is for your own recognition
    and the only scavenger here is you trying to make a name for yourself
    by capitalizing from mistakes made by others.

    Go work on your sites then come woofin when youve accomplished something

    Dont know where they are as it isnt my turn to babysit them ..

    try clicking your heels 3 times and maybe theyll answer you :p

    Update: i found them here



    thx

    I missed the point you are trying to make. But just to try and clarify things for you I will ask you one question. Has it not dawned on you that you and that other clown who pops up from time to time are the only two left on board a sinking ship. Irrespective of what Goole does next, the damage has been done, the message couldnt be clearer. Your mates know this and cant be seen for dust and yes I am also trying to put as much distance between myself and them. The only thing is its nothing new. Being a little naive I only tumbled to their game six months ago, give or take.
    Try to understand that I dont have anything to prove. I am building a quality resource and dont need your (sorry Malcolm1's) sanction or to crack the nod from dorks who cant tell the difference between their a*se or their elbow. Eco Guides is a quality directory that has a real chances of becoming a genuine authority site in its field and the fact that we have not had one submission is testimony to everything thats wrong in this industry.

    I dont sit here and try and say what they did was right or wrong as its not my call ... its googles.
    what i was trying to say is that we all have made mistakes in the past and to err is but human...
    thier sites are penalized and not banned ....

    I wish you success with your quality site

    thx
