Directory.ifergan.org

Update: I recently checked this directory (actually more than 3 years after my initial submittal)and found out that my link (and many others) where removed... therefore I am changing my recommendation to NOT recommended

A reciprocal link is a must. Popular Internet Links directory focused mainly on computers and programming but also covers blogs, humor, entertainment, news, medical, games, real estate and property.

Recommendation: Not Recommended

QUOTE: Congratulations you have submitted your Blog. You will be added to the list of Introductions and Introduced soon.

Ï sent Blogintro an email to ask if there are any problems, that's the answer I got from them:
"I have checked my records and found that you submitted on 9/2/2006 at 11:15:42 EST. There are roughly 100 blogs ahead of you waiting to be introduced. Around 40 of those will most likely not be introduced. I would expect your blog to be introduced in 4 week if it is still being regularly updated."

Well... today is September 15th, countdown begins :)
They finally added us, 4 weeks later, as they said.

Htmlcodetutorial.com (Not Recommended)

I got good recommendations from this website. They request a link back, let's see if the add us...
They sent an email notifying that they added my blog. I checked and they added us indeed.
I wrote an email to Dan at htmlcodetutorial.com and I'm waiting to hear back from him... they changed their site in a way I could not find it...

The concept of the website changed and they are no longer showing reciprocal links. I removed their link form this post (They got page rank 7 in google, among other things by getting inbound links from websites). Always make sure that your reciprocal link partners keep your link on their site.

Recommendation: Bad
