Question for Directory Owners / Editors

    What tends to be your most popular category in terms of most submissions? I would have thought stuff like "shopping" would be popular? Or do categories that have PR just get heavily spammed by irrelevant links?

    The "Health" category receive quite a few submissions too ;)
    Submitting to the highest PR category doesn't make any sense to me.
    Nobody will approve your link if it's in the wrong category, right?

    69% of my submissions are for Health and Home category
    Regarding the PR, it doesnt make sense. As long as the link doesnt belong to a category, one cant approve it .

    Directories/Shopping/Business Services when I owned a general directory.

    On my health directory the main health category and the weight loss category are most popular.

    I guessed that shopping would be hgih and it is understandable that health/diet/weight loss will always be popular with so many websites offering this kind of stuff. Cheers for the info anyway. Quite surpised over 2/3 of your submission fall into just those 2 cats though Don Pedro.

    Business, which is not surprising considering most submissions are commercially motivated.
