I get some submissions like your example in your article. I work with the web site owner to get a more content-rich listing to add into my directory. If they by chance don't pass the review, we don't refund their submission fees. I also believe that if you are a webmaster and depend on PageRank and Alexa for status, "your building on a bad foundation". As a, wise young man said to me, focus on context, and the rest will come natually. Even if you put frosting on crap, you still got crap!

I get them. I change the description. I approve. If the site is good. If they have a problem with it, I'm more than happy to refund the money.

I do always make sure that the link title's read well though, for instance it just doesn't make sense to have singular link titles most of the time, like the one you mentioned bad credit car loan, I would edit that to bad credit car loans and then list the company or website name in the description, I believe that as long as you are thinking about the end user and as long as you don't have too many similar link titles in each category then descriptive link title's are fine.
