After going through the directories that we re-added to the list last update and finding quite a few of them who have some terrible sites listed, we are going to be manually reviewing each sites content, to determine whether an editorial quality guideline is being met.
If we feel that your site is currently listing questionable content, we will list it here so that you are aware of why your site is being removed. Once you've cleaned the content you can ask for a re-review and we will gladly re-add you to the list.
This is a necessary step in increasing the longevity of both this list and the directories that it currently lists.
This will be a two-phase process.
The first phase will be going through the current lists and weeding out the worst offenders. That's general-free, paid and niche directories who have a lot of obviously garbage sites listed.
The second phase (once the new site is created) will be to dig deeper into the content that directories are listing and scrutinise them further to ensure the quality is up to scratch.
I will be starting from the letter "A" in the alphabet. If you want to assist in going through that category and finding sites who have obviously bad content, please let me know. The best way to assist is by naming the directory URL, and the internal URLs on which the bad content can be found.
If you need an example of what is a real problem, look at:
http://www.adddir.info/index.php?p=d
That is their latest listings section. Of the 20 sites listed in their latest link section 10 of them are blatantly obvious junk and should never have been added. It indicates that there is no editorial process, something we will be pushing harder and harder as the new site comes into fruition.
Dan Please Don't Remove Me YET Clause - If you take it upon yourself to clean up your own listings, but need the time to get to that, then I will give you time.
Please let me know, in this thread, which directories you want me to skip over whilst you clean them up.
I will do this to encourage people to get rid of the garbage they
currently have listed in their directories. If you decide to go this option, be advised that whilst I will skip your directory the first time, it will be the first one that I examine thoroughly the second time and if you haven't cleaned the directory then not only will I be forced to remove it, I will also be far less interested in re-adding you once I have - I think that is a fair trade off.
nb: If I have already reviewed and flagged your site, it will be removed.
