Are Web Directories Getting To Fancy?

Over the past year we have seen web directories go from your basic php template to a more custom design with all kinds of cool features. It was good to see this happen because the market did in fact need a face lift, but has the market gone over board with all of it's new features? Now of course the creators of most of the new features we have seen being used would disagree, after all it does put money in their pocket. But do all of these features really help your web directory? Do people who visit your directory even use all of the features?

As a directory submitter myself I can say that although I do like alot of the new features that are out there it is not something that I look for when submitting to a directory. Nevertheless, I have to admire all of the hard work that goes into creating these features and those who take the time to make their directory a little different from the next.

For me the only features I need is a direct link to my site and the ability to deep link to some of my other pages, details page is important to. Other than that I really have no need for any of the other features.

What are your thoughts and what features matter the most to you? Do you think directories have gone over board by having so many features on their directory? Do you even care if a web directory has any features?

No Follow Tag Removed From Our Blog.

Because I believe it is only fair to allow link juice to those who wish to comment on this blog, we have removed the no follow tag from the comments. Now I am sure a few spammers will come through from time to time but that is ok, after all what's the point in having a blog if you don't read the comments and then moderate them. So feel free to post your comments but please keep them on topic. If you post a comment that says something like "hi nice blog" then you pretty much bet that your post will not be added. The same goes if you post something like "I agree", in other words don't come here just to post your one liners. Thanks again for reading and happy posting.

Do Directory Owners Play PS3

I was wondering the other day if I was only directory owner who likes to play video games. For me it is a good way to get my mind off some of the stress that comes with running a directory. So the other day I decided to go out and get myself a new PlayStation 3 to replace the old PS2. Even though the cost was a little out there I felt it would be a good buy so I went ahead and got it. What I did'nt know is that I could have got one of these for free.

A buddy of mine pointed me to a site that he swears by. Apparently all you have to do is follow a few steps and these guys will send you a free ps3. I know that sounds a little crazy because there are tons of sites out there who pull scams like this all the time. But my friend did in fact get one from these guys with no problem so I did a little research into it and found that this is the real deal, there are 1,000's of people getting not only free ps3's but also ipods, laptops and straight cash if that is what you chose to go with.

Now of course the only way to find out for sure is to do this myself, so I went and signed up and completed on of the offers. Now all I need is a few referrals in order to get my free ps3. A few things need to be stressed before you sign up. Do not use any form of fake information, just be straight forward and honest. These guys take this stuff very serious and do not like to be scammed. So don't try and cheat their system, trust me, these guys will catch you and in the end you only look silly and have nothing to show for it, you'll just be helping them make money and will get nothing in return. As long as you follow the rules then you will get your prize.

So let's give this a try and see what happens. Use the following link in order to sign up for your free PS3: Sign Up Here

Please let me know if you sign up. For every person that sign's up using my referral link will get a free listing in our directory www.index-it.net. Only one free listing per person, after all you can only use the referral link once anyway. I'll also need to verify that you did in fact sign up and you must complete at least one offer in order for your referral to count.

Well good luck and hopefully we can all get one of these free PS3's. Thanks for reading and please feel free to post any comments or questions you might have. I'll will tell you guys if I get one from them, let's see if this really works.
