OK.. This isn’t really going to work for many people but today I added a new way to combat SPAM submissions to one of my directories…
Almost all of my sites are for the UK only… Non UK traffic only really cost me $$ and makes me nothing… Anyway I have a UKÂ directory for the uk.. Simple so no non UK sites are allowed…
Of course many so called SEO’s or spammer can’t F**king read the conditions for a submission…
So… I’ve added the following..
$time_array = localtime(time());
$currenthr=($time_array[2])-1;
if ($currenthr > 9 && $currenthr < 18){ //allow submission } else { // tell them the office is shut (along with a few other things) }

At present I have a 82% rejection rate… And because i’m off on my holidays soon I need to cut down this rate..
