Critical Thoughts

Emporium Directory is a web directory project under the VCTech Network label. The logo of this directory is as follows.

I just found out that someone has plagiarised the directory brand. Even worse, he stole the logo above and is trying to pass it off as his own. So what really should we call this, “creative copying” or just outright plagiarism?

This is a free web directory which I started called Link Muncher Web Directory. I intend to keep it as a free web directory for as long as I own it. This is part of my experimentation with a totally-free web directory. Is there a catch, you may ask? No, there is no catch in this at all. But although it is a free web directory, it should be noted that links submitted will only be approved based on the submission guidelines which you should read first before submitting. MFA, affiliates or redirect websites will not be accepted at all.

So submit to Link Muncher Web Directory today and show that you appreciate this latest effort to maintain a free web directory for your backlinks and SEO needs.

I just bought another domain name today and I am feeling “on the high”, the kind of rush feeling that you get after you close on a business deal that you know will be profitable in the long run. At the moment, I am not at liberty to say what the deal was, although perhaps you will see the link appearing in the “Network” section above this blog. Making money on the internet, even despite Google’s penalisation efforts, is something which is very possible.

The key is to diversify. To diversify is to bring in more $$$. In USD and not Ringgit.
