And .. about 60% of those 5 entries were not successfully added and needed to be deleted. Please try again but .. don’t forget to select a sub-category! I am doing this so I don’t have to decide what your site is all about – if I have to decide I will delete – besides … you know best how to describe your site!

For tips .. look at the Site Map on the Directory Listing first and do a top menu EDIT/FIND to locate a proper sub-category.

Thanks.

I have decided that this is too time costly for me to maintain and I have set the directory that all featured listings are now PERMANENT … and changed the price to $50.00 USD for this lifetime addition to our directory.

Hopefully, you will just select the FREE-FOR-ALL ($0.00) option because it is free – help yourself! However, if you want to feature your site .. it will cost you – but I will always make sure it is always featured.

And .. what does a feature site look like? e.g. using call HART crazy

* Click on Main Category Listing section (Front Page)
* Click on your individual Category Listing (of your URL submission)

What Color Are The Yellow Pages?

The answer is …. yellow (lower case!)

My biggest “PEEVE” is that our directory listing is being added to some automated software or script out there – (probably by one of those sites that promises to include you in 10,000 or a billion websites) – and site inclusion requests are not following my pre-requisite instructions.

I’m pretty flexible to what can go in the directory site .. but every site that is included is tested to see that no porn is immediately available on the splash and cover page .. and that no virus or spyware is provided to any surfer looking at the sites.

In my email program – I have about 1000 bad email addresses used by others to add sites into the directory listing and it bounced all my approval or rejection replies. In the future – I will be making up a complete list and banning sites by email (besites I.P. and URL) and making this list public to other directory site owners.

For the immediate though, I don’t even test or look at your site now – if the inclusion request does not show a valid I.P. address (automated) .. or does not select a sub-category topic (besides SMALL BUSINESS general heading) I am deleting the request and sending the following rejection email:

[62-151 Site Submission: Not Successful]

Your site was rejected because you used automated software to add your site to our directory and/or did not follow our specified directions when submitting your site.

Please go to URL http://62-151.com/links/ and then select a TOPICAL SUB-CATEGORY that describes your site .. and ADD URL.

All submissions that have not been made to topical sub-categories (as required and stated during URL submission) are deleted immediately.

If you do not see a suitable sub-category that describes your site .. SUGGEST one .. and wait approximately 24 hours until it gets included as an option!

If you are unsure how to categorize your site .. please place your site in the
I’M NOT SURE (PLEASE CATEGORIZE ME) general category and we will figure out something and add your site immediately.

We hope you understand, that while we are manually checking every site for negative content (porn, spam, virus/spyware, etc). We do not want to start classifying sites or your content – we just want to list them in a reasonably sensible order and grouping.

If you think this rejection is an error, and your site should qualify for a listing (or you have submitted more than once).. please contact HART at media@62-151.com .. (mistakes are sometimes made).

Thank-You

I think I am reasonable, because, practically on every page, I have mentioned this – plus the occasional times here in this blog.

Effective October 17, 2006 I have decided to delete 100% of all submissions that are not properly submitted using a category and subcategory to describe the site.

I have backdated this (to catch up) all the way to submissions made starting October 13, 2006 .. BEFORE I MADE MY ULTIMATIM … for the following reasons:

* It’s taking me too long to catch up and
* I’m only deleting those of you using sneaky automated software to submit and your IP is being masked

For all past submissions from REAL human beings, and registered IP’s – I am not deleting them and will classify them accordingly.

I guess that’s the price of having a manually updated free-for-all directory listing!

Thanks for adding your site to our Directory listing!

But .. I have added the following to the start page ..

NOTE: PLEASE – ADD YOUR SITE TO SUBCATEGORY PAGES .. NOT THE GENERAL SUBJECT SECTIONS
eg: Financial Planning (= subcategory) SMALL BUSINESS & FINANCE (= general subject section)
* If the sub-category doesn’t exist .. suggest it!
(It may delay the inclusion of your site into our directory .. / Thank-You. // 62-151.com

Almost 99.9% of these new site additions … (and please don’t worry that I know the I.P. addresses and can count most of these sites by users on one hand) .. have been posted to the general “SMALL BUSINESS & FINANCE” category.

FOR THE FEW PEOPLE …

* If you are trying to sell a product – I will reclassify it as ‘Marketing & Business Opportunities’
* If you are a porn site – I will delete your request
* I test each link .. if your site triggers my Zone alarm or crashes my system – I will delete your request and ban future requests from your I.P. and email addresses, including whois information will be documented

FOR MOST PEOPLE ..

* I am pretty much accepting 100% of all other sites added. However, I would appreciate if you select a suitable category to add your site URL to .. and if it doesn’t exist – please just suggest a new category!
* Beneath the sub-categories on the General Category Subject pages are reserved for “Featured Sites”

Thank-You

The script allows us to ping Google with the sitemap of all sites listed in our directory, and we plan to do that on a semi-regular basis.

Basically .. in a nutshell .. if we aren’t promoting our Link Directory here in this blog .. we will be posting Ezine Articles about Link Directories and Search Engine Optimization techniques. Personally, I’ve been a little weak on that aspect of my online activities .. and I hope to not only become proficient at it – but if I can, help pass along the knowledge of what I’m doing right and what works and doesn’t work – here on this blog.

In my sidebar, as time passes on .. I will try to place links out to SEO sites and Link Directory sites.

IF YOU HAVE A SEO SITE AND/OR LINK DIRECTORY SITE AND WANT A RECIPROCAL LINK IN OUR BLOGROLL … PLEASE CONTACT US USING OUR CONTACT FORM
