It seems nowadays every domain is being converted to a directory. Everyday I come across all sorts of strange directory names - some are impossble to remember and will never get any type-in traffic. Here are two of them.. www.scoutsof987katytx.com www.samaprzyjemnosc.pl Anyone else got more strange ones to add to the list ?
true, I dont submit to those, I really dont like this idea where they take any domain and place a directory on it. http://www.srujan2006.com/ http://www.jacquelynscott.net/ http://www.diendancongluan.net/ http://www.lookupahookup.com/ http://www.idip.ws/ http://www.directorydump.com JK anon : )
if they are doing good link bulding , i dont really care about the name , alive & aviva dont quite seem to be the best of names for a directory do they
Sasa was just joking. All of my clientele know I'm a jokester, and extremely easy to get along with and we all take advantage of it for good laughs.
He said that 'JK anon ' JochenVandeVelde. Nothing strange with Directorydump infact Directorydump's owner is a great guy Where are you Rob ???
I still don't understand why people so afraid of expired domain directories. They offer good value for the money...
If you think the value for the money alone then your doomed. If your thinking long term and will buy high pr links and even go beyond of unlimited marketing and promotion then that is good. Even putting deeplinks as a way of spreading out the word that your very serious. Most of us look for LONG TERMS and the VALUE of the MONEY We would spend. Thanks
why do you think it is not for a long term? I have some directories like this. I am not stupid, I know that if I will not invest they will lose the PR, so I am working hard to add more backlinks and the fact is that Google loves my directories. So it a GOOD of the MONEY...
Then instead of right away announcing it once acquired, then wait a couple of updates to prove your investment(s). Otherwise it's just another QBC.
If your working hard then that is good Good Luck to You. (And I did not say anything about stupidity JUST CHILL )
well, 3 of my directories not using regular link but I'm not building it for quick money. It may be not as strength as those big guys but still it give something back to site owner www.szab.net www.ventedoy.com www.moorec.com
i bought thses sites off the forum a couple of years ago..they have strange names but gets good traffic http://www.4do.org http://www.ru7.org http://www.upyg.com i dont think they were dropped names though..sure they have always been directory sites
yeah alot of people can't think of good names so they just use 3 char or 4 char domains .. heck even i made one too www.ngey.com << that one was 4 char. but i started and maintained the quality of the site, and than hand it over to chris because i knew he would take good care of it.
I guess with the lack of available domain names, people are resorting to acquiring domains that really have awkward names. In my opinion, it all comes down to the intention of the directory owner. If that person is building the directory only for the sake of making a quick buck off unsuspecting webmasters, then its bad. However, if that person is putting time and effort into building a quality directory in which he can earn his/her money, then more power to them.
