You are seriously trying to defend using a script that hides the links from the search engines by saying that my directory is empty? One has nothing to do with the other.

And your excuse about click fraud makes no sense as you don’t charge those listed in your directory per click, it’s a flat $150 fee. The reason for the CGI script is to hoard PR and make it so your site has only oneway links pointing to it.

As for our directory, it isn’t open for submissions.

Interesting. Comparing a directory that charges $150 per year that gives you absolutely no SEO value to a site that has an empty directory that charges nothing in return and isn’t open to submissions at this time…. I’m guessing Warren owns the scam directory and is upset someone is calling the kettle black. Click fraud? GIVE ME A BREAK. CGI scripts are used to make links non-spiderable by se’s. No where on that directory could I find any reference to signing up under a pay per click option, so there is no ‘click fraud’ issue. There are plenty of legitimate directories out there that will give you a spiderable link for less money. I have to agree with Ken, spend your money elsewhere.

So you claim that was your policy back when this post was written? Try again, see all I had to do was go to archieve.org to prove you just lied to everyone. Those items you listed are not part of the FAQ from when the post was written, nor where they part of it when you last posted in March of ‘07. This is a recent addition to your site.

Here is the proof FAQ from 12/31/05

So if you have changed your tune and now tell everyone that your directory doesn’t have any search engine value that is fine, but when this post was written it was 100% accurate. Actually your attempts to cover up what you are really doing just prove that you know it is wrong and you are cheating people.

First you claim the CGI script about click fraud and now that you had a FAQ that didn’t exist. Which is it? …I am sure you will come up with a new reason that you use CGI scripts in a few months and we can do this all over again.
