If your directory will get noticed by the masses, it would change everything for Telnames.
BTW that's the most important (and most difficult) part:
We don't need promotion for Telnames; we need promotion for a Telnames directory.
If a Telnames directory is well-known, businesses want to get on it - and will register a Telname.
I assume you accept also links from websites different than .tel!
Unfortunately you just can't anyone that counts to understand this simple concept, except the registrants.
When Telnic promoted the Directory in the beginning, they had mass interest and registrations, even fighting and paying premium prices for .tel domains.
After they saw the joke that Telpages was, and is, they dropped their registrations, and today, you can register thousands of premium .tel domain names at the lowest price because there is simply no reason to care.
.COM would not be where it is today if it were not for Search Engines.ANYONE could have registered premium .COM domains for next to nothing in the '90's, but THANKS TO SEARCH ENGINE DIRECTORIES you can rarely find a .COM for a low price today.
WHY? Because although anyone could have had a .com, a free website, and the ability to promote their website themselves, ALMOST NO ONE CARED UNLESS THERE WAS A COMMUNITY FOR THE WEBSITE AND THE WEBSITE ADDRESSES, THAT IS, A .COM DIRECTORY.
Duh.
Until Telnames (the good .tel page) has an exclusive, GREAT Search Engine Directory, there is no point and no REAL interest - get a clue, still, duh.
Glad to see that Sunrise is among the intelligent ...
