PageFour is finally listed in the Open Directory.

About three months ago, I spent some time jumping through all the hoops during the submission process. The rewards of a mention are huge, as it is probably the most widely read classified listing out there, but there is no way to influence or speed up the process. Turns out some people really are immune to the persuasion a fast dollar brings.

For those of you unfamiliar with the Open Directory Project, it’s the largest, most comprehensive human-edited directory of the Web. It’s managed and policed by volunteers and takes itself as seriously as the other big non-profit sites like Wikipedia. The beauty of the site is the absence of spam and advertisements of any description, and the knowledge that every web-site and product listed has first been checked out by a human being with the power to deny entry.

PageFour is listed under the Writers Resources category and shares a page with a host of other products and services aimed at writers. It may turn out to be the most profitable link yet, introducing the product to new audiences. Referrals have already begun to flow, so I’m crossing my fingers.
