i recieved abt 6 emails for submision frm same email owner with time delay of 1 min but domains are different,so is it ok?there is no repeated words though.
arshid, how do you plan to run a directory if you can't decide whether a site should be listed or not?
@Pipes - you can look at his latest links to see he is approving every keyword spam filled description - written in foreign language - spam filled titles - duplicate site submissions site you can imagine. Oh just check his latest dp posts here to find his announcement and site. Just seeing it makes me want to pull the rest of my hair out. @arshid - seriously and I mean this in a helpful way. You are on the wrong path with your directory. If you want a "good directory" learn how to use the delete button on some of those crappy submissions your getting. 9 out of 10 of the submits you will get from that announcement here on dp should probably be deleted.
Oh yes i see, the description length varies greatly too. @arshid, you mention that your directory is 2 days old but in your little welcome section you state "Dirpool is one of the best and quality backlinks directory" Much like swedal is doing, id like to do too, how can a 2 day old directory be one of the best? The english could be improved on there (im just trying to help here) it also says that it's human edited but it doesn't look like much editing is being done. Also you are taking a risk with that label above your adsense called Relevant Sites, read the information provided regarding adsense to find out what should be there and how not to get banned from adsense.
That's not unusual for a free directory, it's just a person with 6 sites submitting them quickly by using a submission tool of some sort. What you need to do is decide what your editorial standards are and stick to them. Just because a site's submitted you don't have to accept it, and if you do accept it you can edit it to meet your standards. You have a minimum amount of words accepted but maximum is better, nobody wants to read those long keyword stuffed descriptions. Do you want sites in non-english language? Would you like all the descriptions to be in a similar style, as though they're edited professionally. Or are you just going to accept whatever the submitter sends you? Why don't you spend some time looking at the directories owned by people who've replied to you, or some well-edited directories such as dmoz, botw, authority directory etc. It may offer you some insight into the editorial standards that are the benchmark of a well-edited web directory.
Now that's what I call a 'well organized keyword stuffing picnic'! My advice for arshid : when you have some free time, read this
PIPES N SWEDAL Guys just get calm i just asked for help not criticism anyway,, also ask how much u spend on these 10 days on this one directory? i have spent alot on it and submitted it to PR 5 and 6 dirs and i am hoping i will see the change soon,and 2 days that was just example to say in,my dir is 10 days old,, please give me advises about these submissions and show me some thread or blog so that i put my dir plannings according to it!!!!

@ arshid: What other members are saying has nothing to do with your promotional strategy. If you are serious about your directory then you should by now understand some basic rules. Some directory owners accept just about any Web site to "fill" their directory...and to make it "popular"...If you want to add some value to the directory, try keeping it 'clean' ;avoid allowing just any keyword in title and description, and avoid approving every single site submitted to your directory. Try setting up some rules on site description and title so submitters don't dive into a pool of keywords! At the end of the day, its Your directory and your decision. Members here are just trying to help you understand a few things that could actually be beneficial to you. As far as our criticisms go, you'd better light a candle than curse the darkness One more thing: Guideline(s) is one word! Good luck to you!
Get calm? What? If you read each reply here there so much advice, friendly and genuine. Situations like this bewilder me. arshid do yourself a favour mate and re-read the whole thread. Seriously i have to say this, learn some manners, im shocked by the amount of people that come and literally demand everything, rarely thanking people that reply with honest advice and to top it the OP's seem to rarely provide enough information to start with. Theres people here that replied and you didn't even supply the url, we had to go looking. Forums are not just for requests, dont demand and dont get cheeky with people who spend their time replying to try and help you.
Ok I will attempt this one more time. I am perfectly calm. I don't really care about your site one way or the other. You asked for advice and I offered some along with the others here. I am not here to pound fluff up your a$$ when your making mistakes - you asked about spam and I offered my opinion of spam in your site in a helpful manner. The longer it takes for you to start taking that advice the worse it will be for you to try and correct later when you realize that the people here were trying to help you. Now you keep mentioning pr - why is that? Are you starting a directory or a page rank factory? Again not trying sound anything other than "calm" but answering that question should give you food for thought in how you want to develop your "directory" going forward.
pipes please forgive me for my rude words ,i am toooooo much emmbarased please forgive me, people like me are nothing in front of you. please reply me that u forgived me
SWEDAL please forgive it was just a mistake please forgive, u n pipe r just gr8 , i realy respect u,all wat i did was just to get u r attention to help me!!!!!
Another directory piloted by captain ignorance flowing down the river moron soon to reside in lake failure.
Now that's just silly, we are all the same. I remember when I announced my first free directory here and was shocked by all the submissions which I ignorantly accepted. As pipes said read this thread and learn from it. If this is why you started your directory you should either learn or move on.
