    Yes guys it's yet another new SEO friendly directory, one month old today. It's free and we don't require any reciprocal link, although it would be nice! So please feel free to submit your sites.
    All of the links are static and easily crawlable and if you want to, you can buy your way to the top!
    The sites are arranged on a first come, first served basis with 179 sites currently in the database.
    Any comments would be more than welcome.
    Cheers

    Ian

    Thanks to everyone who submitted their links to the directory, some are up, some will take time to edit and some are heading for the wall of shame!
    For a bunch of guys who are into internet marketing you don't make it easy for the directory owners!
    If you've submitted to other directories and not appeared yet, I'll let you into a little secret that will increase your chances of making it.
    1, Read the instructions and follow them. Of the 27 submissions I received in the last hour, 13 of them more or less ignored them.
    2, Check your spelling and grammar, 4 submissions had mistakes.
    3, Don't spam, if you submitted the site for, and I quote, 'Patio lighting, Lanscape lighting, Path Lighting & more... outdoor lighting & indoor lighting, light bulbs. we have it all !' Are you by any chance selling luminaires?

    When I'm sorting things out I do all the straightforward ones first, then the ones that may have a spelling or capitalisation mistake or two and then I get bored and probably bin the rest!

    Since some of you are working on behalf of clients, 6 different site submissions from one IP address, you owe it to your clients to get it right first time.

    Just my little moan, actually it's a lot of fun looking at some really good sites and some absolutely dreadful ones!

    Ian
    I am really quite friendly...honest

    Hee hee, i like the wall of shame too :)

    had a question. I'm submitting a few sites, but had a question about a subsite. My main site is about yoga, but has a subsite section devoted to women's fitness/health. Should i just submit the one site to fitness, or can i also submit the other site to women's health? It's the same URL, just with a subcategory.....

    I'm not a directory owner however I regularly strike this problem. On your wall of shame page you show an example and whilst you comment that the keywords are all right you point out that words are repeated. If you look at them as phrases then I think they are probably

    Your add url page says not to put in commas etc in keywords so how do we enter key phrases or is it purely keywords, ie single words not phrases?

    Thanks,

    You'll find on directories like these that the keywords are used for the internal directory searches. So adding extra keywords won't make much difference, especially if that phrase is in the title or the description. The keywords can be fine tuned to help people who search for using your/my example, cleaners in melbourne, perhaps. This way it will appear higher up the results.
    I do say that there's not much wrong with the keywords in the example, and indeed I can't think that I've edited any keyword fields. The keywords are there for your benefit, not mine, so I was just suggesting a better way of using them.
    At the moment the directory is new and therefore few sites.
    Hope that helps.

    Just the top level homepage please. Since web addresses are so cheap why not buy another with a permanent redirect to an internal page, that doesn't give me a problem.

    Hope that helps

    Thanks for that, I'll get around to it.

    Thanks to everyone who have submitted sites. This is very much a long term project, something that I can use to generate income for my dotage and then pass over to my grandchildren who are 8 months and -7weeks old!!

    Take care

    Thank you for adding Soccer in United Kingdom & Eire. That has allowed me to submit my site to that category.
