    Hey everyone, we have started a new directory called Surfin Directory. It can be found at http://www.surfin.com

    It is a paid web directory, with a PR2.

    Why submit your site to a paid directory you ask. Well, below you will find the reasons.

    Number 1. The domain name is great! It is highly brandable and will get traffic just because of the name!

    Number 2. This site is run by Myself and Surchin (another member of dp) whom runs the surch engine Surch.com which most of you have heard about. This directory will be advertised like crazy on Surch.com and also when you surch using Surch.com's Directory surch, Sites listed at surfin.com will be over any other sites. Basically like a free featured listing on Surch.com Please note this is only when surching using Surch.com's directory surch! Also please note that this feature hasn't been set up quite yet. It is currently being worked on.

    Number 3. This domain has been parked forever at a parking site and still has managed to get a PR of 2!!!

    The prices are extremely low for a 6 month term and we know you will get your money out of it so check us out today and add your link today!

    Also please note: We will be getting a custom design done soon to help make surfin.com original! Also Surch will be posting here to verify our partnership in this!

    Visit http;//www.surfin.com today!

    Hi guys/girls. Well I think Mystickal pretty much took care of everything in his post. I have had that domain forever and just never did anything with it so now everyone has a new directory with benefits from surch.com. Hope you all like it!

    Hi,
    If you are making a paid directory, it’s a good idea to have a customized unique skin, and would be fun if its surf related.
    That’s my 2 cents
    Cheers and good luck with your directory..

    I think you should make one of payment option. This way you will get more people to submit. Otherwise I thinkyou will get just few submission.

    Do you mean add more than one payment option? I think that is what you mean, and we will be very shortly. We are currently getting a custom design done and we don't want to mod out a template that we arn't going to be using long and then have to remod it all again when we get the new one!

    Thank you for submitting your critic directory! We appreciate the business and hope you will be satisfied with your listing!

    As said before, we will be adding alot of cool mods and extras to this directcory as we get going but first we must get our custom design done, so please don't think that what you see right this second is going to be the final product!

    Personally I don’t think is a good idea to promote the directory and accept submissions without the custon skin and some of the value features, with the premium price you are asking.
    Just my opinion.
    I will be interested after its finished and we know exactly what your value proposition is.
    Cheers

    Hey everyone, we have changed the prices to a year instead of 6 months. We have decided to do this because even though we realize this is a gonna be a great directory, we have to start somewhere! If you would like to submit a site please feel free to do so. If you have any suggestions, also feel free to let us know!

    Is that true? Then why you are using StoneFLash?

    I'm not using stoneflash, I just used stoneflash as guideline as this was my first attempt at making a template with php link directory. I used StoneFlash as a guideline because I really like the layout. Even when I asked on phplinkdirectory 's forums and on dp forum's everyone told me the best way to do it was to use another template as a guideline. So I did just that...I used StoneFlash as a guideline and nothing else.

    Well well well, you're wrong!

    "If you use StoneFlash in any form - original or modified, it means you agree to the terms and should keep the "designed by" and "sponsored by" links at the footer."

    Alternatively, you can pay link removal fee.

    Who am I to say all this ?
    I'm the sponsor of StoneFlash template.

    Hey vegabond, I sent you a PM addressing the issue above. I wasn't trying to rip off your template. I'm just new at designing temps for phpld and used yours a guideline. Hopefully we can get this resolved asap. Sorry for the problems...

    Ag, This is Surchin. I own that domain and work with mystickal on it. Personally I don't mind paying for the layout... but I disagree with your comments. HTML is free to the world. Looking at someones design or layout on the net is not a crime or unethical. In fact I'm willing to bet that everyone at some point looked at someones design and took ideas from it... its the very nature of development; to improve (or in some cases screw up) on something else... Thats like saying that someone that uses a grey bar on their site somehow owes tribute to someone that already had one...

    Anyways I do appreciate your design and your work. I m glad that mystickal was able learn from it so send me a PM and Ill paypal you the link removal fee and Ill credit you 500 USD in advertisement on surch.com for your troubles. I hope that will satisfy you.
