    Default Should I go general?

    My blog and forum directories seem to get 90% more other submissions than blogs and forums. I am tossing around in my head about just renaming the categories and letting it be free for all (within limits). What do you guys think? There are a gazillion general directories out there already I know, so should I just spend all my time rejecting and keeping them as intended?

    This is a hard one, but maybe leave it for a while and see if it continues? How are the rankings on google? I dont know enough about directories to give you any advice sorry, but if you are getting more submissions for other things, go for it.

    It's been gathering momentum for months, long enough to consider ditching the idea :sundecided:

    Then it must be a good idea :scool: plus if it doesnt work out, you can always go back, but sounds like it will be getting bigger and bigger :sgrin: Good luck with whatever you decide :scheesy:

    You are right. There are a ton of general directories out there.
    You can always put one on another domain if you really want to run a general directory.

    I would stay the course with this one and see if there's something you can do about the bad submissions.
    If they are mostly automated, maybe there's a way to shut down most or all of them.
    A huge warning on the submission page might get the attention of some of the manual submitters.
    Maybe a rewrite of the code or a plugin (if available) is in order.

    I'm in the same boat with my Toronto Web Directory.
    It's getting to the point where I'm also going to be looking to see how to stop the majority of my submissions.
    How do people figure that massage parlours in China fit into my Toronto Directory?!?!? :sundecided:

    I added a bold line to the blog submission guidelines now, see if that grabs their attention

    If you figure out a way to stop them, let me know

    I would have thought there would be huge demand for blog and forum specific directories. I would stick with them.
