    That's what I was thinking you were trying to establish, but wasn't sure. ;) Best wishes for the New Year and your continued success.

    I like the idea, I was thinking to do something like that a few months ago (obviously now the example at that post isn't valid anymore)
    I believe it adds value to the listings, however to be honest I didn't implement it for one main reason. It is almost like selling presell pages in the open and I am not sure what effects can this have in the future.

    What specific concerns do you have? I mean most directory scripts already allow detail pages to be created - this just allows more info on the details page. How is it different from say a blog that reviews sites?

    it will certainly help the submitters, they'll get backlinks for the inside pages as well as for the homepage. good job.

    happy new year and best wishes for ask dir.

    Same question here, is nothing more than a detailed review, most directories only do 30 words maximum review this is 500 word review.

    The main difference imo is that the one is a free review and the other one is a paid article/description about a site with a preset amount of deeplinks.

    Anyway, I believe this is a good idea overall and this is the reason I was considering implementing it in the past.

    :) paid or free doesn't make a difference to search engines, only for the people who pay :)

    Looks like people are already noticing the service :).
