Comments on: Linkspub Directory Review http://www.webdirectoryreviews.com/linkspub-directory-reviewed/ Web Directory Reviews - Get Your Directory Reviewed Thu, 28 Aug 2008 09:47:34 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.1 By: Adnan http://www.webdirectoryreviews.com/linkspub-directory-reviewed/#comment-70 Adnan Wed, 10 Oct 2007 22:58:30 +0000 http://www.webdirectoryreviews.com/linkspub-directory-reviewed/#comment-70 Thanks a million for your kind review. A few things I would like to point out to you and if you want you may wish to look deeper into since you may be quite busy at the time you did this review. Quote: Linskpub web directory is a paid directory, but first impression is omg “wtf’” where is the directory? It’s filled with banners and ads and what not. And seems at first glance as a spammy site, rather than a resourceful directory,until you scroll down to bottom where you might be able to see categories of the directory. I did ask adnan about the same, but he said they are about to expire and will not add any more banner ads, but recently I seen him selling again some of the banner ads, so not sure what to say here. Well were both free & paid. We actually have a very minimal amount of advertising, maybe 12 ads in the entire site. What you see on the homepage are Business Cards and we have mentioned them on our submit site page. This is a Linkspub Exclusive innovation and our submitters love that feature to death cause it's not available on any other directory out there. Basically for our paid submitters, we make graphic business cards for their business which includes a short description, picture of their site and url. That business card is rotated on our homepage using our proprietary rotation engine which we developed. These are not ads or adverts but just an added feature which we thought would bring more traffic to the sites listed in our directory. This is one of the added features which submitters get and we don't charge anything extra for this. I thought, that this would be clear to you since you have reviewed so many directories and if you look on the cards we mention the words 'Business Listed in Linkspub' along with the category where the viewer can find that listing. Quote: Tried the search feature, and results are displayed properly, but the search result page lacks any of the navigation links, and you would have to hit “back” to go back to main site again This is deliberate as we would like our searchers to go to the site which they searched for rather then to land back on our site. We thought this would be a good way for the sites listed in Linkspub to get some exposure from us. And I think they are enjoying that exposure cause our daily searches are increasing. I think you've got our Alexa Rank mixed up with somebody elses. On your site it says 859,073 while in actuality it's 113,161. You can verify this here http://www.alexa.com/data/details/tr...=linkspub.com/ Most people which come to our site Linkspub, meaning our prime visitors are business searchers, looking for businesses and business owners looking for extra exposure for their business. That's pretty much what we specialize in and our business model. Again, thank you very much for reviewing my site. take care adnan Thanks a million for your kind review.
