BTCDir - Bitcoin Directory

[legendster]

Thanks for your time and these honest thoughts.

@Kemarit i will implement SSL but honestly SSL is not needed for this website, because there is no registration; password protected system etc.

I agree but it would be better if you can add it in the future. You know that everyone here in crypto world is paranoid about security, IMHO.

Just take small steps buddy, it will grow overtime, perhaps you just need a few SEO to put your website somewhere in page one of Google so that more people will contribute. Content will definitely come but it will take months and months. Just continue to work on it on your free time and you wouldn't notice that the site is growing already. So Goodluck!!!!

OK your site looks like shit but it has potential. But without SSL, security freaks like me won't even touch your site.

It's like Kemarit said. Everyone in crypto world is paranoid about security.

Besides that, I would be looking forward to see how this turns out. GL

I know it's empty and i'm going to grow it myself but as a human being, i still have faith that some people will contribute anyway I don't have any problem about organizing; i'm in cryptocurrency nearly from the first years so it will be a pleasure instead of pain to put website to right categories.

Thank you for your thought and time. Don't hasitate to share your ideas. Ideas are the only important thing for evolving.

Well you can start on doing that by assigning volunteers as mods or admins of the site therefore they have more control on what they can contribute to the directory. Allowing random guys to add websites to the directory sounds to be a bad idea at first since they would just take advantage of it of adding scammy or phishing links into the mix so you must have at least a screening process before they can even make their contributions viewable to others. Adding mods can help you by the way in this process as well.

He uses the nulled Arfooo directory script, as far as I saw the last update is from the 2008 year. it's been a long time since then and the internet is completely different especially design and security. Using script older than one year is a complete failure, and the website looks like this.

OP, your idea is fine, but maybe you can think about other solutions. If you are not familiar with programming and it's a big job for you to create a directory from scratch, for example, you can try with Wordpress plus directory plugins. It is a platform which has millions of active users and constantly working on improvements and updates. Also, you don't need programming skills to manage content there.

Thanks for all feedbacks. I'm going to change to a premium script with responsive & mobile compatible design. Also planning for https. Also it looks like my hosting is listed in SpamHaus which is a mega fail at startup. So i'm also going to move to a private server...

Gonna announce.

You can use Bitcoin.directory as a source for your info for a start, I think it hasn't been updated for some time tho, so you'll have some work to do (eliminate and add new services). As for your hosting issues, I would suggest Namecheap, they're very reputable and accepts bitcoin as well.

Hello everyone, please check the latest version. I'll work and improve it but this is the latest infrastructure and i'm planning to keep it like that.

Do you just want services, or are you interested in sites like my Bitcoin Tunes

I've just added the Bitcoin rap battle to the index page

You can add any website as far as it's related with Bitcoin.  
Social -> Entertainment is a suitable place for your site.

Wow, looks very slick man, lots of improvement and I've seen you added SSL already as suggested,  .

Probably just need a few SEO to get your website on the page one of Google.

Question: Do you generate do-follow or no-follow links? I'm just curious. Usually webmasters submit their homepage to directories to generate some link juice that's why I'm asking. Best of luck to your project!!!

Thanks 
It was a pleasure to get feedbacks, so i listen.
The nature of directories are dofollow linking. Mutual linking is not a must but of course premium listing option will always the first selection for me.

No rush for SEO right now because site is very new and i will do it after i get maybe after 100 links.

Let's see how it will go i have lot of things to do in infrastructure like RSS / Sitemap etc. Nice and slowly...

OK, that's cool. Yeah, probably SEO might take a back seat and just focusing on improvements like the one you mentioned. I'm sure that when you have like 100 listing already,

There's not much competition in this niche If I'm not mistaken. Try to search on this forum and found out one: (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=473460.0). But this is very old, 2014 project and it looks lie it dead already.

One thing you could do is to link to the site in your signature.

I'll add The Bitcoin Scammer to the site as well as soon as I have decided on the CMS to use, and whether I want to make it part of a much larger project.

Hello everyone, please check the latest version. I'll work and improve it but this is the latest infrastructure and i'm planning to keep it like that.

Now is much better. Is it script from the same service? Looks fine for me.
You can add some major websites, don't wait for user fill. Also, my suggestion is to open the ANN thread in service section on Bitcointalk to get more engagement.

Thank you. Nope it's premium script which i bought it and now customizing.

Good idea, i'll create an announcement soon.

[coolindark]

Hello again.
The script i bought has tons of missing features, that's why i'm changing it again.  

Site infrastructure will be changed again. Working on it.

Edit: It is done. I will stick with this. Too much advantages it have and it has better responsive design.

[Jet Cash]

I like the new layout. It's much cleaner and more businesslike in my opinion. I wish more sites were like this, instead of the flashy hyper-active creations that seem to be popular in this facebook era.
