Wall of Shame
Why the Wall of Shame?
Well the directory is at the moment rejecting as many links as it's
accepting because it appears many people, from English speaking nations,
have problems following a few simple instructions. So to help you all,
we have decided to introduce the wall of shame. Now don't worry, we aren't
going to name and shame, but we will give examples of what we have to
work with so that you can compare your entry and hopefully get it right
first time.
So lets have a look and see why some sites didn't make it.
Wall Hugger #1
Title: domestic cleaning london facilities maintenance
handyman herts cleaning plumbing electrical painting
The title is all lower case, doesn't read correctly and looks spamier
than a Monty Python sketch. If you think this will get you noticed
it wont. This is the sort of thing that should go into the keywords.
The
title is supposed to catch the eye and make people want to read the
description and click on your link, not just be a random jumble of words. Description: Welcome to (removed to protect
the innocent) Facilities & Maintenance
and Domestic Cleaning Agency, the leading home maintenance agency for
London and Hertfordshire.
The description has far too many capital letters, it's a sentence
and should therefore look like one. Read the last sentence again it
has only
one cap at the beginning. How about using a comma instead of & so
that the grammar is correct. By the way, London and Hertfordshire are
okay, they're place names. Keywords: cleaner
domestic cleaning agency fast cleaners best cleaners carpet cleaning
london
Actually the keywords are okay, but why repeat words and why not include
things like plumbing painting electrical, if that's what is being targeted?
Wall Hugger #2
This site submitted the following description.
Description: ??????? shop provides web hosting, domain names and
What else they provide? We'll never know! Let's hope they pay more
attention to their clients.
Now don't get us wrong, this is just a bit
of fun and we're not perfect ourselves, but the team is working hard
to get the directory up to speed
with entries that are useful for people searching for sites and you
guys are not making it easy for us! We really do want to put your link
on
the site as quickly as possible and it is completely free, unless you
buy a sponsored link and appear above the free
entries. So please just spend 1 minute reviewing your entry before
you hit the submit button.
