Links?

I was just wondering when it is going to be updated. I added my link a few weeks a go, and its still not there. I know that you can turn down any site you feel necessary, but can I have a reason why my site was dumped? The site I'm referring to is http://coasterdom.com. While I do post news that can be found on other sites, my orginal content easily overtakes the news I post. May I just have a reason why I was turned down?

Thanks,
Nate

I see a hundred sites a week (no, I'm not kidding, it really is that many). I don't have the time or desire to try and respond to every single request to be listed.

And for the record I don't see anything particularly original about your content.

Ok, thanks for the quick response. We have several areas of original content. The first of which being our Ride Reviews section. Our new Ride Prototypes section is also new. There are several more larger areas coming. We also have free track profiles, with a more complete list then CoasterBuzzs'. Thanks again for the qucik response.

Whoa, you're looking for a listing and calling your site more "complete" than CB? Not a good idea.

Personally, I find your use of frames rather poor. If there were less whitespace and more of a contrast between background and text colors it'd probably be a lot more attractive. :)

True Michael, but attractiveness means nothing if you don't have a niche with unique content.

Yes, my list is more complete. We have more coasters and more parks in our database. Therefore making it more complete.

Not to flame or anything but is there that much original content on this site? All there is is a park & rollercoaster database. Is there RCT Downloads? Ride Reviews? Coaster Videos? Ride Profiles (Like Coasternets)? Photo Gallery's? No there is NONE of that stuff on THIS site thats original. The only thing that is original is the GREAT people that post in these forums that I enjoy talking with. Not the site. Coasterdom nice job on your site! It looks just fine. I know how much work goes into it.

-----------------
Its not attention deficit. I'm just ignoring you.

BTW, I'm sure you can find another coaster site that would gladly take your link.

Ah, but Jeff never claimed that he had original content, just he looks for original content in sites that get added to the "Links" section. Think about it -- why link from CoasterBuzz to another site that does almost the exact same thing?

Coasterdom -- I know how much work goes into a site. Keep at it.

CoasterBuzz is a crap filter and a portal. I've never claimed it to be anything else. 11,342 people came here yesterday to get their news and read the forum. Clearly somebody finds value in it.

Have you looked around the site, and the sub-sites? We do have exclusive reviews (under the features section) and there are 2 photo galleries on SFFTFNet and J2S (both of which I host, and play a role in the production of). Please look more carefully before you post inaccurate things.


Coasterdom. Read Ride of Steel's entire post. He is referring to CB.

I guess I need to look more carefully.
All I know is I'm waiting til I get my ride guides up to try and submit my link again...

Coasterdom,

I have even asked for mine to be listed as well. But then again...what do I offer that other sites that are listed dont already. Maybe with the upcoming 2003 coaster at SFGAm construction coming up soon, I might have some content not shown anywhere.....but I wont hold my breath on that one. I just hope that those who do visit my site enjoy their visit and eventually come back. Otherwise it is out of my hands as to what other people do. From what I saw on your site the design is nice. There may be some things on it that are unique. I recommend that you promote that in the subject of your site. If you want to have a link here the best bet is do something that no one else is doing. Doing it better in your opinion is not going to get one anywhere.

BTW my site is more of a learning tool than anything else. Enjoy if you want. If not thats ok.

Honestly I like the site. But I'm not holding anything against either site, they each excel in their own areas.
