You may recall I posted a long thread in the now defunct site status check forum a year ago, almost to the day. At any rate, without mentioning specific domain names, and without mentioning my domain or asking for a "status update"...
Would it be a quality control issue, if a site, very similar to mine and many others, that has only been up for about 7 days, and has very little content for the category it's in... is suddenly accepted?
And several others that have been doing the very same thing for 4 to 5+ years, are not? It looks very suspicious that they are also listed in about 20-30 other categories, which may be justifiable, I didn't look at all those.
I'm just curious whether you would consider this a quality control issue and investigate it or not. It seems to me that this new site has a very large budget, and it would be quite easy for them to get themselves listed in about any directory in just a few days, even this one, if they knew the right editor. And they have been making a wide concerted effort to get themselves listed in every directory and on every blog they possibly can. If it were up to me, I would at least talk to the editor(s) involved...
