Promoting A Guestbook

[Iguana]

I have a site that is faintly amusing in content but it does have a guestbook that gets me giggling and is funnier than the actual site. Does anyone know of an awards site for guestbooks? Is there a suitable DMOZ category? I have looked but found nothing in my searches.

Does not answer your question, but

[webmasterworld.com...]

does show what can happen if the "wrong" people get setails of your guestbook!

Yes cornwall, I have to actively delete the occasional spam entries - perhaps I should keep my head down in case I get a deluge of "great site" messages

Out of interest on that other thread, I did spend a time yesterday investigating the "strange world" of guestbooks.

Browsing a number of guestbooks, I could see that there was a problem on most with spam. That problem is presumably growing because of the current SEO focus on guestbooks.

If you promote it, then you will have to spend time each and every day clearing out the spam.

Given the cheapness of submission services, $100 will get you submitted to 1,000,000 guestbooks (I never knew there were that many), I think I would keep clear of promoting my guestbook at the moment ;)
