The long text is more for the boots people will care more about the snapshot. Probably is a good idea to have a small description and then a large more extensive one, I will think about it. Ok, gained.info as a cool mod, probably this category should be called “the coolest modâ€, and chose only the mod and not the directory.
I'd of gladly swapped you over to 'best content' along with those 6 points added to the content section in a heartbeat. But it wouln't be fair. But it would have been a at tie right now because you would have had my vote. but i do know patrick works the hell out of his directory on irka so that would have been the best of the best in races this month, and even more entertaining to see that a 'pretty' site, or some 'cool mods' at the end. content will always be better than mods or design. why? because content is king but anywho, it's not my contest though and this is just purely personal opinion. i need some sleep now.
I went to Irkawebdirectory.com and made the copyscape test and it didn’t pass the descriptions are the ones people submit and equal to 1,000 other directory pages. BTW did you made the spider Mod to gained.info?
That's funny. I went to copyscape and found pages on your site that also don't pass the test. But way to poo poo all over Irkawebdirectory.com.
Probably some descriptions haven’t been changed, but I am doing it gradually, It’s very hard work I spend hours doing this, I am getting crazy writing descriptions, in some categories like Web Directories I don’t know what more to write I am not poo poo but by an0n description looked like irka made custom descriptions, it’s only normal to have submitted descriptions 99,99% of directories do it like that. Also PM the url’s to have a look, sometimes happens that submitters like so much my descriptions that they use it on their own submissions a thing that I ask not to do, I have to warn the owner and make new ones . Also you have to visit the sites that copyscape displays, because one thing is to have this “and spam-free websites, organized by†duplicated content and another completely different is to have this “Human edited web directory of quality and spam-free websites, organized by category, offers content-rich and well-designed web sites. 100% SEO friendly web directory.â€
I purposely added "content" as part of the contest this month, because I can't stress enough how adding quality sites to your directory will help insure that your directory is a long term success. If you are consistent about adding quality resources, you won't be sorry, but if you sit around waiting for people to submit, and the only content you have on your site is submitted links, I fear your directory may not be very viable a year from now.
Thanks Rob , that's nice, yeah you know how much i like to add sites manually . And how my internet connection sucks. Did you even did that copyscape test? I ran a copy scape for your site and i found one url similar to yours which is http://www.satxweather.com. Copyscape found nothing for www.irkawebdirectory.com, and i kinda understand that. IWD is a mix of so many sources, for each submissions i always modify something, and always take time to add some resources to the directory to give it a start... If you run a copyscape for http://botw.org you'll see it is similar to looksmart and DMOZ, anyway copyscape can't work for dirs. I do actually build that resource IWD, and while i'm building the categories i try my best to do some new linking schemes, not the same as dmoz or yahoo, i use symbolic links a lot (for just about a week now) and i've to make so many connections lol i can't imagine when it's over :|.
