ABC Article Directory Blog

A few quick updates on the most current goings on as far as the ABC Article Directory is concerned. First and foremost, I would like to state that the site is doing great.  Our traffic numbers are consistently good and articles that are approved are enjoying pretty good exposure.

I am still a little disappointed  that the new improved Disqus commenting script does not work without it totally distorting the screen width in Internet Explorer. It seems to work well in Firefox and Opera but since the majority of people use IE, I am forced to remove the script.  I researched the anomaly in the search engines and found that I am not alone in experiencing the distortion that this universal  javascript code creates.

I deleted approximately 6000 spammy authors this past weekend. They all seem to have come from one location and 99.9% of the articles that were being submitted were terrible. To make matters worse, the same articles were being submitted twice. Made it easier to weed out the bad authors but then again, I am pretty good at weeding out bad authors (lots of practice).

I added 2 new members to my article directory toplist within the past week. I want to welcome  ArticleCompilation Article Directory and Articlemonster.com to the growing list. There are currently twelve article directories that are being monitored. Article directory owners that want to become members can show potential authors and advertisers exactly what kind of exposure their articles receive regularly. Since there are literally thousands of article directories currently on the Internet, Its good to know that some owners are brave enough to show how good they are actually doing. Its also a good place to get additional referring traffic from the collective group of article directories.

I’ve added the Google/Youtube videos to the article pages again. Anyone that reads the articles can now see related videos on the subject they were researching/browsing. These videos load rather quickly and do not take up too much space. I hope visitors find it useful.
