    While submitiing to different phpld directories or while was working for some (hundreds?) phpld owners I noticed many do not care about PayPal return payment page.

    Most of it looks really so unfriendly.
    Here's my page:
    http://www.linkforever.net/payment.php?payed=25169
    It's nothing special - but it's unique to my directory.

    If you want to preview your payment page:
    to 'payment.php' add:
    '?payed=xxx'
    where
    'xxx' is existing payed link id.

    I know it's all result that directory owner doesn't see it while reviewing own template.
    Also templates creators do not care about it.

    Just think of it.
    You can put some interesting things on such page.
    Links to other of your dirs, to afiliates, etc.
    People who hits it already payed.
    There's always a chance they are willing to pay more :)

    Good luck.

    yup always a good idea ... i did it once too when i owned many sites now i am only to one but once my secret one is launched than i will put it ... also

    another thing i thought would be good you know when you return to submit page especially on free directories ... It said link submitted waiting for approval you can even add these things there ...

    i have tried it with my past sites .. to promote domaining.in before and it worked like charm :)

    Yeah, that's true. Also put there some welcome goodies ;) when my dirs were opened to free links. This is another (submit.tpl) template.

    Those are all so simple things, but can be so powerful.
    There are much more like this.
    Whatever it's good to remind it.

    But seems most people miss it and prefer to discuss:
    - How much do you earn?
    - What is a directory? (found this few minutes ago...)
    - How to submit to DMOZ?
    - Is it worth to submit Yahoo
    - What's your name directory owner

    and much more like these, multiple times.

    It's more like KINDERGARTEN :(

    This is exactly what I use when emailing submitters when payments do not process. It provides a quick, clean and easy vehicle for payment processing if their submissions was in fact flawed and they wanted to really submit.
