Polyfetish

After I initially seeded the directory I’d expected more people to submit their sites. No such luck. I guess I haven’t publicized the directory adequately.

I could’ve gotten more inbound links by requiring reciprocal links from those who listed their own site. But I don’t want to do that.

It isn’t a good idea. Google notices when all the sites that are linked to link back. And the Search Engine Domme doesn’t like reciprocal linking schemes. I sometimes smile at the little “proudly listed” badges I see on some blogs. Often site they are pointing to has been flushed into the back hole of irrelevancy by Google.

At least some of the people listed in the directory have gotten plenty of traffic.

I guess I’ll have to go back to seeding it for a time.

Just hit me to add Furry fandom to the directory. Maybe with a small initial seeding others will feel encouraged to add furry sites to the directory.

I wish I could get more submissions from gay women and bisexual persons.

Though my sexuality is fairly broad my gendered is male: very normal male from the outside. (I prefer invisibility in myself and flamboyance in my partners.)

And I’m too comfortable with my pansexuality to really feel like reading about bisexuality, though I’ve written a little about biphobia.

Hopefully more sites for both will get listed.

While I’m in no sense ashamed to the directory I’m surprised that I actually posted a note about it on Digital Point.

DP is a webmaster forum and generally I don’t mix my sexually themed webmastering with general forums.

Mostly, I’ll have to own, because I’d tend to expect foolish questions and maybe juvenile guffaws since some of these guys are fairly young and are apt to defend a choice by calling it the “best” without supplying any supporting logic.

There’s no reason for you to visit Digital Point unless you are really interested in webmaster related topics. Certainly not to advertise.

Another small landmark: one month and three days old and there are over 250 sites, the average quality of which is quite high (easily better than the Yahoo Director’s equivalent areas).

I’d really like to seek the sections for F/f D/s couples and the sexual health sections expand.

Be interesting to see how large the directory is a few months from now.

My beloved is a ftm transsexual so it was natural for me to want to include sites that might be useful to other transsexuals.

Little did I suspect how much hostility I’d encounter.

She made a mention of this on a transsexual mailing list. The response was hostile. The presence of “fetish” in the sites name made some claim that being listed in The Polyfetishist Directory would hurt the image of transsexuals.

Sigh.

Narrow-minded people will never change their view. And I was long ago disappointed with the transsexual craving for normality. Banality in my eye. Often a wish to be the kind of woman that feminists – thankfully – have diminished in quantity.

Hopefully the directory’s list of resources for transgendered persons will increase even without their help.

Admittedly the directory is a couple days shy of being a month old but I’d hoped to have more people submitting links.

Folks are usually greedy of exposure I’ve often thought.

And the directory of clearly of goodwill and of specialized focus.

I’ll continue to work on it and bide my time. Impatience gains nothing.

I tried getting the directory listed in a meta-directory (a director of directories) but was rejected for having “adult” content.

The directory is intentionally plain looking and doesn’t list porn sites (something I’d noted in my submission).

But I was rejected for “adult” content.

More proof that the directory is a worthwhile project.

The purpose of this site is to record some of my experiences – frustrations? – in creating The Polyfetishist Directory.
