It’s been a while since I last wrote here. I took a job overseas and is going through a lot of troubles processing my working papers. I just bought the cheapest laptop that I can use at my flat until everything have settled down.
Now, unto our topic, I’m actually doing manual approval of link submission to my directory. I’d like it to have good quality sites as much as I can so I go through each links and verify whether these passes the basic criteria I imposed.
Of late, the volume of submissions increased and it pisses me off that some of the links loads too slow. I mean I have a lot to do than wait for it all day. I’m on a very fast connection so anything that indicates it’s not loading at all will have the submission declined. Fair enough? I think so.
Another thing. I seeing a directory submission trend lately on going around the restriction of double submissions. I’ve seen sites using subdomains with exactly the same content, layout and everything submitted. On the same day. Roughly the same hour. If it’s not intended spamming, I don’t know what is. For that, all submissions from that domains are removed instantly.
Lastly, I’m doing a bit of an experiment. Due to the increase of in links submitted, in order to filter the crap I’m requiring payment for regular links without a nofollow attribute. Links with a nofollow attribute and links with reciprocal will be free.
