Quick heads-up for all your link builders out there, from Loren Baker:

With our tagline âHumanity at work!â I am dead set on showing the
world that a human edited spam free directory can still be built and
maintained; with an emphasis on quality and authority.

To celebrate the launch of this mighty fine looking site (yes, there
is a rather nice design behind Umdum), Iâm offering a special for
Search Engine Journal readers – or anyone who clicks over to this story
from our blogging friends.

To celebrate the launch, we are running a free submittal promotion which will run until 5 pm PST on Thursday April 20th.

You can have your site listed in Umdum for free by Umdum Web Directory these simple steps…

Two words… free… links… ;-)

Couldn’t figure out how to submit for free although I met your qualifications for it, so I just submitted as a nonprofit. Didn’t know what else to do. Please email me and let me know if everything’s ok. Thanks a lot.

Hi, would like to submit, but wondering if we qualify, we are a custom e-Learning Solutions company.

However, on my site, I do have a media center which has plenty of great content about e-Learning, learning management systems, and online training course development. The link is below:

http://www.syberworks.com/mediacenter.htm

Do we make the cust for the free link, if so, how do I proceed.

Best Regards,

Mary Kay Lofurno

AH! I missed the deadline by < 2hrs!

I submitted as a non-profit though, so hopefully you'll understand. In case you need some proof (as myrefined.com doesn't exactly seem like a non profit), check out: http://erraticwisdom.com/2006/04/05/a-free-website
where I won the site and pledged to donate any/all revenue to charity.

Cheers,

Rick

Love the design of Umdum, but I’m getting an extra piece of a column on the right side that definitely shouldn’t be there.

Leave it to me to spoil the party.

That was most definately a wonderful promotion. The Umdum directory will make it big, no doubt. And I’ll be able to look back and say, I knew it when…I could get in free. :)

Thank you to everyone for your comments. Our editors will be reviewing the sites submitted and commented on in this thread for inclusion, even those which were submitted after the deadline.

Please understand that we are receiving 100’s of free listing submittals a day and that not all can be reviewed promptly and special attention was given to the sites submitted during the promotion.

If you’ve missed out on the promo I’d suggest investing in the one time Editor Review fee at Umdum as yes, this is going to be one heck of a directory and the sites which pass our Editorial Standards will stay in Umdum for its entirety (and yes, we will be reviewing sites during random times in the year to make sure their content and quality still exists).

Thank you again for all of your help with our launch and stay tuned for more announcements :)

Best looking web directory on the Internet :)

Here’s a tip: “Featured Categories” should have some links in them if you’re going to “Feature” them! Otherwise, why go out of the way to “feature” it (on the homepage no less)?

I’m confused though… why is this directory going to “make it” or be a success? I don’t see anything special about it and by time they build a meaningful directory is anyone even going to use directories—other than the large ones or niche ones???

Exactly Nuevo Jefe, our goal is to be one of the large ones.

nuevojefe, I “use” directories all the time. Every day. Not for navigating the web, though. ;)
