#4424 - #4455 are done. Thanks!

Re: #4425 - Site is working for me.

Re: #4428 - "I come across a few pages such as this, are they acceptable? " No, it is just acting as a doorway to the hosting website.

Re: #4438 - Site is working for me.

Re: #4439 - Site is working for me.

Re: #4441 - I am not seeing a hijack or parked page. Looks fine.

Re: #4442 - "placeholder/blogs/inappropriate..who approves this stuff?" sgcv.co.uk is a blog format Curriculum Vitae. Nothing wrong with that. creativecave.co.uk looks like it was his old URL (and had content when it was listed), now defunct and has been removed. Unfortunately, website owners do not always alert us when they change URLs and hijackers never do.

Thanks for the feedback....I'll check dead links with different browsers in future, I always check dead links a few times, so as to try and avoid wasting an editors time...

Need advice on web pages such as this...

Is this type of page acceptable for the directory?

Thanks

Is this the appropriate way to deal with these types of pages?

Do I report them as such?
