  1. alistair80 liked Obelia's post in the thread When "ridiculously sounding" domains are claimed as directory.

    I think it depends on your guidelines. I mean if you say no gambling, words like "casino" and "poker" will be on the list. But if you...

  7. swedal liked Obelia's post in the thread My plea to directory owners.

    That's a good point. Drop-down lists are most suitable for small directories with fewer than 150 categories. Once you get beyond that...

  8. gauravgrt liked Obelia's post in the thread few directory questions.

    Making your directory pay is fairly labour-intensive, and not really an easy source of cash. If they have odd names that's going to put...

  9. metros liked Obelia's post in the thread R-E-S-P-E-C-T for DMOZ.

    The editor approval process is part of the problem, that's for sure. But it's not the only one. The general public haven't heard of...

  11. MunnaMobile liked Obelia's post in the thread Dual Directory Submit-- is it beneficial?.

    Not really, no. Especially not if they're on the same IP, or using the same database of descriptions and other info.

  14. kanwarjot liked Obelia's post in the thread Directory Owners - You must read this - Why directories are being penalised in Google.

    This is a case of preaching to the converted. Directory forum regulars on DP already know about the potential problems of duplicate content.

  16. web-fanatic liked Obelia's post in the thread What is an optimum description length?.

    One or two sentences is perfect for human searchers. Any more and it's just waffle, and people won't read it. It's hard to write much...
