    I have been trying to review a directory each month. This month was the fairly new Zorg Directory.

    Zorg Directory Overview

    Yeah, the site is owned by mikey, but I tried not to let the owner influence the overall outcome of the review. I personally have no problems slamming any directory no matter who they are.

    Usually my reviews reflect directories that impress me and I have a list of directories to come in the future.

    One directory to keep an eye on, as without doubt a big player is moving in. Well done on a great looking directory.

    Wow i had no idea this was coming!

    I have been working on this for a while now, it got leaked out to several DP members so only a few didnt know about it. I have yet to add categories to business, blogs, arts etc as i didnt want to just make some empty pages. I wanted them to have unique content.

    If you browse around you will see categories like travel, society, web directories, and especially regional there is a 200 word unique article on every category. That includes sub categories, i am aiming to have every page unique. Also the latest links page is interesting - me and my editors are constantly adding new sites.

    The design was done by Zeb - who also did alivedirectory and dirjournal. I had Rob install many mods including that nice coupon mod you mention, so thanks to those two.

    Floppeydrives, thanks for the review. Also thanks for the submission, it was the first paid one I had recieved. I will get your review up in the blog as soon as possible.

    I expect to keep working hard and doing things the right way - I dont want empty categories nor will i be buying links either. I shall probably announce the site officially in a few months when its complete and suitable to be accepted into other directories.

    what about the old listing? who paid money? i don't find my listing?

    Zorg thing that they did not have any PR this time because they were ugly, but now more uglier, older look was much better, that is reason they become popular..

    They do used DONOT FOLLOW codes that is reason they did not get PR

    I am so confused. I don't think your post has anything to do with zorg directory, maybe you are talking about zorg links. Anyhow, still has nothing to do with the review. Try to stay on topic please.

    Most of this is in response to a few pm's I have received.

    P.S this was not any type of paid review and I will not review your directory for money. This is simply a hobby. I am trying to keep the reviews down to 1 a month and I already have a few in line. I will take possible recommendations through pm, but I must warn you that I plan to be very honest about your site.

    P.P.S I will not review directories who take part in MFA, Casino's, Viagra, etc. They are just not worth my time to look at.

    That sucks. I don't have IE6 and no way to test it. Little stuff like that drives me crazy. Is that screenie on from a windows desktop? kinda looks like a mac or linux box to me.

    In the past I've had issues with IE6, my tip is to either upgrade to IE7 and/or use Firefox.
