Running A Web Directory 101

[John Scott]

The most common mistake I see in the web directory business is the failure to rewrite submission descriptions and titles.

A lot of folks, perhaps most, submit the same title, description and keywords to dozens or even hundreds of directories. A web directory with editorial integrity will reject spam and rewrite the worthwhile submissions so as to protect the directory from duplicate content filters.

I have been following the practice of making sure the title is the actual title of the web site as that makes the most sense to me. If the simply submit a key phrase I will add the title before it but keep the keyphrase intact as I figure that is what they are targetting. Do you think this is a bad policy?
