    Anybody heard of www.joeant.com? I paid $40 bucks and it's been nearly 5 days and still have not gotten listed in their Directory. I emailed their site and nobody responds to my email. I think I got ripped!:mad:

    joeant is a good directory with very strict editors. Their concept is of community editing.

    I would suggest you to wait for some more days and then try contacting them.

    Its really worthwhile to get listed at Joeant.

    Cheers

    Did they offer approvals within 24h or any other similar guarantee? If not, then you probably don't have anything to complain about.

    They claim to contact you within 2 days, so you can send them a mail by now.

    Give it a little more time. JoeAnt is a well-respected directory that's been around for over 6 years.

    I'm a volunteer editor there, and I know they're quite serious about quality and relevancy. Unfortunately, I can't help you because I am still a peon there. :)

    Read the fine print peoples :)

    Yahoo does the same... and their "guaranteed review" is $299

    n.b. Guaranteed and expedited consideration. Says absolutely nothing about actually listing you. Be mindful of these sorts of things when submitting :)

    Still they should at least send a rejection notification. I think they didn't review the listing yet.

    You should have received notification regarding the status of your submission by now. I'd suggest sending an email to inquire in case the submission was not accepted as you have a limited amount of time to appeal:

    All sites submitted through JoeAnt.com Speed-Pass will be reviewed by a staff editor for inclusion in the directory. You will be advised by email whether or not the site has been accepted for inclusion. If the site is declined, you will receive information regarding the reasons the site cannot be listed. You may make changes to bring the site to directory standards and request one reconsideration of the review within 2 weeks after the first review. This request should be made by email...

    http://www.joeant.com/DIR/speed-agreement.html

    I wonder if anyone at JoeAnt are aware that the link to their guidelines from the Speed-Pass agreement is broken?

    Why submit to this directories with Nazi-like rules and restrictions is beyond me.

    The idea that if ever they decline your submittion, they will keep your money, because your are not really paying for the submission, you are paying for the "review" process.

    Update, they ended up giving me a refund after I made a dispute through paypal. So, I'm happy now... but I will be more careful in directories I submit.
