I submitted
www.pinnacledisplays.com on June 16th.
On July 12th, I got this email...
"Hello, You have recently submitted
http://www.pinnacledisplays.com to
01webdirectory.com (Details mentioned below).
Our sincere apologies for the delay in reviewing your site for a
possible inclusion in the directory. This is partly due to the great number of requests we have been receiving everyday and advanced plans afoot for the directory, for which our manpower resources are currently being
deployed to. We assure you that, we make all possible efforts to review your site.
However, we have made a provision for you to be able to get your site
reviewed quickly by opting for an "Express Submission", wherein your
request will be reviewed within 3 working days and your site features
at the top of category page as "Featured Site". The express Submission
costs a one time US $49."
If they are so swamped and understaffed that they can't review the "free" submissions, perhaps they ought to remove that option and be honest that they only list PAID submissions for $49. And if they are so swamped, why are they soliciting more submissions?
I haven't checked out BlueFind yet, but I think its a much better deal for what one gets.
