Shame I have to do this for my first post but hey ho! I ordered 800 directory submissions from Ankur based on the fact he was advertising his services around manual submissions. I quite clearly stated the categories, Shopping > Consumer Electronics, as the main category which is listed in a good 95% of directories from what I've seen over the years.
Anyway, I requested the submissions to be spread out over 7 days and currently on day 3 at the time of writing. Each daily batch of confirmation emails come through at very closely timed intervals, too quick for manual submission if it was me doing it so he or his workers must have some very quick fingers! Now I wouldn't have a problem with these submissions if they were going into the correct categories or at least if the majority were but put simply, they're NOT! The majority of the submissions are being listed in totally random categories like site hosting, blogs, business information etc etc. Having a link on a page full of text and links related to hosting titled "Nissan GTR" (for example!) is hardly going to benefit the site in question in terms of G's spam detection/related content filter!
So I'm now having to go through all the confirmation emails, checking the category it's been submitted to (if it shows that info in the email or link) and requesting the directory owners to place the links into the correct category for me. Bummer! I've questioned Ankur on this a few times with no response although in fairness I haven't given him much time to reply so far.
So Ankur, just to confirm, I would like the rest of the submissions placed into:
SHOPPING > CONSUMER ELECTRONICS
Also, can you please make sure the description isn't getting cut short as it has done with the past 50 or so submissions.
