On the iEntry Directory Portal Forum, I have just recently changed the registration to double-opt in. What this means is that when a user registers for an account on the forum, they will receive an e-mail at the address which they have registered with including a link which will fully validate your forum account.

This measure has been taken to prevent forum spammers from clogging the forum with posts that include spam/erroneous links, and to keep the forum neat and presentable.

This should not be a really noticeable change, but I thought I would bring this to your attention.

Happy Surfing!

Even though we have iEntry Directory Portal blog (this page), there also is the iEntry Directory Portal Forum. This is a forum where you can ask and discuss anything pertaining to directories in the iEntry network.

You may ask any questions pertaining to any of the directories in our network under the Our Directories category which contains subforums of Jayde, Niche Directories, Regional Directories, Social Media Directories, and SubmitterBot (our newly acquired semi-mass submission service). This area is to be used if you are wanting any changes to your listings on any of these directories.

The forum also has subcategories related to general directory topics such as: Popular Directories (discussion regarding other popular directories around the net), Directory Submitters (discussion of topics regarding directory submission services), Directory Software (discussion of directory backend software like phpLD), and Directory Announcements (if you have a free listing directory, feel free to post about it in here).

Also, you may introduce yourself in our forum under our Introduction section, and if you have any suggestions for the forum of what you’d like to see/discuss, please let me know in the Forum Suggestions subcategory of the Miscellaneous section.

Happy surfing everyone!

There has been a lot of talk lately about the supposed rumor of Dmoz getting sold to the Best of The Web directory.

More of this story can be found on this WebProNews article.

I have set up a thread on the iEntry Directory Portal Forum called Rumors of Dmoz selling to BOTW? under the Popular Directories category. Feel free to share with other directory submitters and users on this issue.

Many of you out there are using directory submission services to upload your site to our (and other) directories. Feel free to share who your directory submitter is, your experience, and how having the specified service submit your business’ website to directories has impacted your clientèle.

I have created a thread solely for this on our iEntry Directory Portal Forum called ‘Who is your directory submitter?’ under the Directory Submitters category on the forum. We look forward to seeing your feedback!

Two new categories have been added to the Directory Portal Forum under the Miscellaneous section: Introduction and Forum Suggestions. I have provided a brief description of the new categories below…

Introduction:
This is a place where fellow business owners who share the common purpose of listing their site within our directories can introduce themselves. Although, this is not a place to promote your business’ site–we’ll let your site listings in our directories do that for you. This category can also be where you can discuss and praise how either iEntry’s directories, or any other directories around the web have help improved your business’ popularity and clientele. So, feel free to stop by and say hi!

Forum Suggestions
Would you like to see a directory-related topic discussed here on our forum? Or, have we missed something relating to our directories, or directories in general? Please let us know! We at iEntry are here to serve you, so please let us know of anything that you would like to see here relating to the sites that help promote your business.

So, feel free to stop by the forum for everything directory-wise. Hope to see you there!
