Hi Denis!
There are a variety of ways that we find candidate links for
http://www.linkpendium.com/
o User submissions through the Add-a-Link form.
o Listening to what gets recommended on community forums.
o *LOTS* of plain old manual Google searching.
o Robot exploration of well-structured sites.
o And a whole raft of other techniques.
Nothing *ever* makes it into the publicly viewable link
collection, though, without some human editor eyeballing the
link and blessing it.
That's why you won't find **** links in the index, though
we've had thousands of them submitted by the bad guys through
the Add-a-Link tool. We've also managed to find and exclude
most of the "Smtih" links and other typoed surnames. It's
painful, but we try to sort out all the typoes from the just-
strangely-spelled surnames and localities.
I'm sure we've let some bad stuff through, though. When you
see a mangled surname or an otherwise-broken link, please tell
us about it and we'll fix it.
Anyway, that's why we say "human edited". Cheers, B.
