After looking through various webmaster websites I stumbled upon phpldpros. This site provides tons of great and vital information on starting a directory using the famous software PHPLD. They tell you what you should consider when starting a directory. They also give helpful tips on how to market your directory in order to become successful.

If you go deeper into their site you will find that you can find PHPLD modifications and templates for the script. These will help make your site look better and easier to manage.

What I found most interesting is they provide a list of the top web directories using PHPLD. This shows that people and companies use this software and are able to build a big directory.

You can find more information at their site:

You can also view this directory below using PHPLD:

A web search directory is a great place to find listings on many different topics. But when it comes to “Directory Related Sites” directory of directories or directory portals are the best places to look.

Its easy to start at a directory that offers listings for all types of websites to get a general feel of how directories work etc. If you are looking for directories to submit to you can go to a directory of directories.

What ever you are looking for directories can make it easy to find what you are looking for.

Check out the directories if you are interested in directories:

This website submitting software is very different from all the rest. Most website submitters hardly ever even get your site submitted. Another common problem occurs when the company that created the software never updates it! Cyberfetch seems to be updated very frequently with email reminders telling you to get the latest databases. This software is reasonably priced and has a great support team. They offer email and phone support and they actually return your calls! I personally had an experience where I had to change my user name and the computer I was using it on. I called them and they did everything right away!

I truely recommend this software you can Buy it Here!

Many of these directories are free but some of them charge a fee. First, getting listed in good quality directories such as Open Directory (Google’s directory), the Yahoo will give you a good start. This is “key” and will help you find specialty directories and sites geared towards your niche market.

I’d stay away from many directories, however. Many directories are bad to submit to simply because if they charge a $5 fee and your site link gets put on a PageRank 0 page its not worth the money. If you want to submit to well established, older directories, you should check out the digitalpoint.com forums. If you look under directories you will see what you’re looking for.

You should avoid link farms as these are totally different then a normal link directory. The difference being link farms have thousands of links on one page. This is horrible and Google many penalize you if your links are there.

Link Directories carry a great amount of value, but overall the usage of link directories is steadily going down. This is also because Internet directories link to thousands of other websites, the value that they can add to your PageRank gets diluted by all the other links. Web directories often allow site owners to submit their site for inclusion. Which in turn will normally give them better link placement on a high Page-Ranked page.

By reading this you can see that there are bad and good sides to everything in marketing yet when it comes down to it directory submitting is worth doing. By the way while doing all this you can use software to help you submit to directories much quicker. I recommend looking up “handy submit directory” on Google. This will make the job much easier.
