    I think SevenSeek is a mixed bag. If you are looking for some PR love, you can get some here. But Alive Directory is a better deal.

    Ummh Not sure I understand

    I think you are using a free template on your directory?

    yup looks the same to me but it seems like he have made some editions ...

    but u kno what i think (Not to be rude or anything) but you shouldn't criticize other's site because ur site is not the cream of the crop either, and before pointing out other's mistakes you should just fix your own and make urself look good. Because Sevenseek is a PR 6 and in most of your posts you are just comparing everysite to Alive... I dont know what is going on but you are just keep saying that Alive is better ... or atleast thats the connotation when you mention the part that alive have a PR 7.

    They are all good directories and i dont think its fair to say that alive is better than others because there is several things sevenseek has which alive doesn't ... there are several things which aviva has and alive doesn't and there are certain things which alive have and none others have...

    so every directory have its unique property thats y they stand where they stand, so i would just think twice before i criticize other popular sites.

    Sorry, but that's just not right.
    Do you criticize about your Operating System? Or maybe complain about this or that search engine? Or perhaps you have something you don't like this or that online payment system? If so, is your own operating system better? Or perhaps is your own search engine better? Or is your own online payment system better?

    But we do criticize them right?

    Of course my directory is crappy. I never said my directory is better than any of them. In fact, it is not. But it's a free directory. And I only do it on my free time.

    Dude, I compared it only once. And only about the PR part. Nothing did I say Alive is better as a directory.

    Again, I never said which directory is better. For Aviva, it's more VALUE FOR MONEY (Oops I spotted a typo there, I wrote VALUE FOR VALUE).

    Of course, they are.

    If you want a review which says good things about everything even if it is not true, then what's the point of reading such a review? Just go, and pay and submit your site.

    Thank you for the comments. It gave me a chance to explain myself.

    Alive is better if you want a boost in PR. Generally of course.

    Was thinking the same thing, the stuff he says about the looks of these sites, meanwhile his site looks like horse manure. You can tell no thought went into it.

    I am just curious as to how you determine exactly how much each benefits you in the SEs. Did you talk to Google? ;):)

    Well, I did not spend a lot of time on it.
    It's just a hobby.

    No. Just my opinions.

    Well with that classic quote:eek:

    Can I tell you directly that posting right here for most members is anything but a hobby its serious

    And when its serious you get eaten alive for disparaging competitors

    So I can only guess what will be said about hobbyists

    My hobbies are for enjoyment and not for entering into disputes and disparaging

    By the way I like hobbys a lot :D
    imho

    Wuhahaha. Dude, how many of your comments are based on opinions? And are those slander? Opinions cannot be false anyway. You can disagree.
    If a movie reviewer says a movie is bad and if that opinion is "false", is it called slander?
    If you think my reviews are wrong, then let's discuss about the review.

    hahaha, I wish but I am not a competitor.
    My reviews are my own. If my reviews are wrong, then let's discuss.
    Nearly all the comments made here are not about my review.

    Honest review I think. In Holywood good or bad publicity is publicity. There are bad publicity at first in the end it becomes a real event course for reform. Then good outcome and praises awaits.

    I like that. Can you review one of my directories Dirsensei for example ? Its not as good as other directories but its promising and and a lot of improvements are needed. I know that its a long shot for competition but is striving for improvements on a day to day basis.

    Hope you consider.

    BTW ... its preferred not to have 2 repeatedly posts one after another because it makes the staff members do more work.

    second yes when u use the facts to make a comment about someone's property / personality it is called slander..

    and yes if the movie reviewr says that a movie is bad and use the evidence and try to support it ... and is not successful ... than it is false (Same thing you are doing in your review)

    when the majority disagrees with the opinions its called to be rejected.

    All to all i just think its not good to say alive is better just because its PR 7 and others are not. Yes thats one characteristic alive have ... but you keep comparing it to sevenseek and previously in aviva you did the same thing... i just don't think its right. (Again My opinion)

    Suggestion: Since you write reviews as a hobby.. Make it look good by putting some time in it. And if you are writing a review ... Compare the same owner's product but don't go out of the boundary and compare other's because it can offend people.

    Truly i am a fan of both of these owners but i just dont see it fair that you call one better than the other because both of them work hard.

    Guys, this is just like a “movie review” the reviewer as the right to is opinion you agree with it or not. I think is input is valuable, even if I don’t agree with some things written on the reviews.

    I am confused about your statement. You said that if I use facts to make a comment about someone's property/personality it is called slander?? Not too sure what you mean.

    If you say my review is false, then which part? Do you have any evidence to say so? Which facts did I use? And how do you "prove" that an actor's acting is bad? This review is my honest opinion.

    May I ask u if I say a site is nice and it "rocks big time" but it is not true, what do you call it?

    Yes, you are correct. It will be rejected. But most of the comments made here is about my site, and not my review. You can disagree but if this is called slander, then everything anyone comment is slander. "This directory is expensive" slander! "This directory doesn't give me any benefit "slander!"

    Please read the review again. I didn't say that alive is better. I said that alive can provide more PR juice. In my Aviva review, I compared the number of categories and sitewide links. Never did I say anything about which directory is better. If I did please quote me.

    It took me over 8 hrs to write the review. Is this then slander? Hmmm......just because you are disagree with it doesn't mean I didn't put any effort.

    And if I don't compare directories, then what's the use of a review? I never intend to offend anybody, but what's the point of writing a review to please the crowd? And I believe that is called lying.

    I am a fan of all (if not most) of the directories I review. That's why I review them. That doesn't mean I have to lie in my review. If there is a fault, I will write it. If all is prefect, I will say so. But if there is no such thing as a prefect directory.

    Again, quote me the part where I said one directory is better than the other.

    And this is the main reason why I never rate a directory. :)

    In my opinion there is nothing wrong. Critic is always the best room for improvement. You tried your best and your views are original.

    IMHO Nice and Honest review. Fair, from the heart, NO BS, No a Kiss in the Behind just expressing what an individual openly think.

    Just my 2c.

    ;)

    Well , i read the article about the sevenseek you have wrote quite good points targeted about the directory , as for the comments I think directory buisness is mixing our brain waves :eek:

    In my review i think most of the people target the correct things but in this case they are following wrong paths to their leads.

    Ofcourse also in my opinion i think nothing in general is wrong but the quetion mentioned is asked wrong.

    Not asking "How to improve"
    But asking "How to target the consumers"

    ..

    Changing the themes adding features sometimes may not be enough to advertise a good position about your website.

    For my last words ; i think you should be a journalisty aye ? :p Thanks for the review and share rep!
