I have 4 directories. And I have been working round the clock advertising wherever I can. I have even went and bought an advertising package through the text-link-ads, But I can't get people to submit links. Can someone give me a tip as to what I can do? I do have a lot of people coming to see them and I had quiet a few submissions, but most of them were spam or spammy sites.

let us know the url of your directories. Without seeing your sites, how we can advise?

Detoam,
Directory business is VERY competitive, I have seen one of your sites, I wanted to submit to it as well but I changed my mind because quite a few things can be improved including your pricing.
I will send you some suggestions via PM
Thanks

Hah Pming your pals now. What about us poor people who know nothing about building a directory?

James,
Some of the stuff are very basic, some could be considered "insult" if read wrongly, that is why I am trying to be very cautious so that he will not take it as an offence.
With you, Bagi and other people I know well I will not hesitate to be blunt as I know you will know I mean no offence but the gentleman is question is new to this forum, I don't know him well yet, that is the reason for PM rather than posting it publicly.

Do your directories have a high PR?

I am finally able to post links so here You go.
JRS Directory
D's Directory PR2
Detoamweb directory
Detoam's web directory
N33ded link premium directory

They don't have a high PR. Only one of them actually has a PR. The domains have been around awhile, but I just started to promote them and to create those directories.

Detoam, I suggest you to customize the design of your directories since I belive that the custom design is a stressed step for brand building.

Completely agree with Bagi, I know you are busy but when you have time make the sites as different from one another as possible including different category structure
