    Hi guys,

    Wld just like to seek some advice from those more experienced.

    I've recently added some new categories in my directories. And of course, they are PR0 pages. While I've stated it clearly in my submission rules that all submission must go to the deepest allowable level of the category, i understand why many submitters will be unwilling to pay to be listed in a PR0 page.

    So what wld you do? Wld u insist that they put in the deepest level or allow their submissions on higher levels?

    I've temporarily allowed submissions on higher levels but will move them once the deeper pages gains a PR. At least, that is why i think is the most fair decision, what do u think?

    I would enforce the original rule. You are correct in that most submitters would not like to pay for submission to a PR0 category, however those same submitters would also not like their link being moved even after that category has gained PR.

    My directory was only recently relaunched and therefore none of the categories have any PR yet, I am still getting paid submissions to the directory though. I am sure I will get more when the cats have been assigned PR, but there are some submitters out there who are aware of how PR works and how long it can take for PR to be assigned etc and they are prepared to wait.

    Just my tuppence worth.

    Thats true..

    Submitters want some hih PR links so they will definitely submit to possible top category..
    This question remains unsolved on "How deep to go" ?

    for me, i believe that links should be submitted to the deepest level that you have created in that category in order for your directory to have good quality and organisation....
