(1) Pretend you're a hotel-rezzing hotelnow doorway spammer. You don't call yourself a HRHNDS. What do you call yourself? GRRR.
(2) Pretend you have no clue about directories, except that you run a lodging place, and you want your lodging place listed in lodging directories. Where do you submit your site? (We don't mind these. Really. It's hard enough to real lodging sites under all the HRHNDSs in Google search results, we're happy to get them wherever they fall off the turnip truck. Thanks, guys, we WILL find the right place for them. It'll take time, though.)
(3) To be fair, pretend you know nothing about taxonomy, but you are writing a guide to some tourist trap. Where will your submittal end up? Regional, obvously, in the location the site is about. Where will you submit it? IT'S A GUIDE, MAN, WHERE'S THE GUIDE CATEGORY? Even most bookstores usually have only a dozen or three categories, and guidebooks is one of them. (Most people really can't write an informative guide to their own backyard -- but this is an area where a digital camera and a bit of local walking in the moccasins of a sentient creature can create wonders, some real jewels of the web.)
(4) Pretend you're going to get instantly rich selling your own handcrafted advertisements to local touristy businesses. Now, you don't have any advertisements, and you don't have any content, but the first step is to start advertising yourself, right? (And they're subdividing the ninth circle of the inferno to make room for you.)
Stupidity, greed, envy, ignorance in cosmic quantities: and some really really precious gems. A place where national governments and unknown individuals alike can contribute really significant work. A place where spammers create more than 99.999% of the pages on the net. Some of the most advanced systematic deception practices outside the porn industry.
It's a right challenge, mate!
