There has been an increase in numbers of url submission to my general purpose web directory. From the looks of it, more than half are directories and they begin to smell like I’m being spammed. Little did they know that I have been checking each and every link submitted. I used to approved everything including fellow web directories. It was only lately that I noticed a pattern. The directory submitted use similar layouts. There’s nothing wrong with accepting other web directories since I do submit this directory to other web directories but giving the impression that everything is automated and was not being well thought of, puts me off.
From now on, I’ll will only allow functional and usable sites on my directory. Those with real purpose rather than just a bunch of links to other sites. I will not be touching those who had escaped me in the past. Consider it a prize for getting in early.
