Turkoc.com had been a recognized premium web directory which was powered by the Site Sift Listings directory script until it had fallen to the unfortunate experience of being hacked my some malicious Armenian crackers.
Attempts to port the listings over to a new directory management software system are currently being investigated by the Turkoc Premium Directory staff. However, while we are carefully considering several options and investigating such directory management software products for security as well as portability and feature evaluation has taken a bit longer than we have anticipated.
For these reasons we are using Turkoc Premium Directory Listings to showcase other fine web directories, link exchanges, search engine optimization tools, link building systems, online promotion techniques, online advertising PPC opportunities and web based marketing systems. We are sure that you will enjoy the variety, depth and professionalism of the included listings for other premium web directories, promotion information and online marketing resources.
In the meantime, we recommend that others stay away from the SSL directory script in order to avoid the same or similar outcome.
