    About the sedo topic, i edited my review after i realized i made a mistake writing a review for a directory listed for sale, and i did metion that to him that i felt duped by user. And i will remove it(comment at the end)if user gets the problem resolved. Cause i doubt sedo will list any domain up for sale by itself, without website owners consent right ?

    Everyone has an opinion whether you agree with it or not. If you don't want to hear their honest opinion, you probably should not ask for it.

    I personally thought the review was fine. Sometimes you are too close and have put too much work in to take any kind of constructive criticism. I don't think the review was malicious.

    That of course is just my opinion.

    I think it is ok to include the Sedo thing but you should have asked for an explanation from the owner and then put in your review that you were looking into that angle. Something like that would give you more credibility then having to go back and change around the review multiple times, an update would look more responsible.

    I should add, that since someone posted the review and I read it, I don't think it is such a big deal. Since reading that first post a couple months back I was left with the feeeling that paidhosting liked to mix things up by posting reviews with critical negative slants but that is nothing new because almost all mainstream news does the same thing. An example of that would be the recent Forbes article on web directories.

    Just shows the power of how -ve posts/topics can turn heads. I think jg123 was the one who pointed that out !!. But hey look on the bright side now your directory is getting review by many and few tend to be agreeing to the review post ! Razvan

    This thread might even get you some submission :)

    I will wait for the discount sale as I think your prices are bit expensive for a basic new directory.

    I think what really happened here is the directory owner was expecting a glowing review and got a taste of 'free speech' that didn't go down well.

    Don't sweat it, like I said, your directory is probably better than half the junk announced every day.

    Everyone is entitled to their opinion, so you shouldn't be too stressed out about the whole situation. It is just his opinion, nothing else.
    Most people here are knowledgeable enough to take a look at your directory and decide for themselves if it is worth buying a listing or not. And this certainly gave you some nice promotion ;)

    Google is a mathematical term.

    A very large number something raised to the 1000th power if I remember correctly.

    I remember reading somewhere on Google's site, a few years ago.

    Yahoo is a dictionary word, I think everybody knows what it means.

    If u remember, Excite which apparently didn't make it tried to compete with Yahoo in the beginning.

    You edited your post, removed quote.
    This means you admitted your fault.
    Your excuse is so poor.
    Now what you write shows me only how radiculous and infantile you must be.

    Look at it this way, you got what you asked for, a review, and I'll even bet you got more traffic to your directory for posting this thread. Truthfully, this thread is a joke!!:eek::eek:

    Yeah dont care about the bad review. If they point out something bad, just fix it. If they sid good, make it better. that what's review for. If you want somebody to say somwthing good about your directory, just hire the writer to write a promoting article and submit it. there you go.

    I had to missed your PM. Just sent you PM.
    There are several forums, a lot of PMs, hard to follow it.
    That's why I have developer's contact form on LinkForever and it's best to catch me using it. It goes to my developer email account, so can't be missed.

    What??? Ooops! I thought the title was "This is a Guy Joke . . ."

    My bad! That's what happens when you've got insomnia and are trolling the DP boards late at night. Or early in the morning . . .

    You ask for a review and you didn't ask for good review.

    Review means anything like good review or bad review.
    He published his review about your site.
