    Some people seem to think they have to get their keywords in their listing. I don't know why.

    Not in this directory! I have purely paid directories but this is a travel directory with paid options, but i'm kind of passionate about travel so I happily let the best free ones in.

    In fact this site would have got in easily but for the description!

    Eliminate the "freebies" and 1/2 your problems with this will disappear almost immediately.

    I also have same problem but I think there is a solution...only accept those listings who have ALEXA RANK less than 10,00,000 and above this should remove

    Its a very rare occurrence for us. The only listings I get that are spammy like that are the ones that do not pay.

    People paying for a link tend to take a more serious look at how they are listing their sites, and they are even more careful to choose keywords that best illustrate their site.

    People that pay are less likely to list crap because they know it's a waste of money.

    I agree and but I have sites listed in your excellent kingbloom.com directory, and those were free listings. I'd be very sad to eliminate my freebies, which is kind of why I'm posting here!

    As an responsible web directory editor,
    i will always try to edit the title and description for EACH listing.
    Alexa ranking is not a good idea to sort these spam subscriptions.
