phpLinkBidscript or phpLD bid script?

[fear]

Hi,
I was wondering which one of the scripts are good to use? In my Bidding Directory (http://www.linkwide.info), I'm using phplinkbid but I just wanted to know which one to use from the following.
phpLinkBid (http://www.phplinkbid.com/) OR
phpLD Bid for Position (http://www.phplinkdirectory.com/articlescript/Bid_for_Position_on_Version_2_12.php)
Thanks :)

[humm]

Use phplinkbid... :) more advanced...

[aspidov]

phpLinkBid

I would go with phpld if it supports sub-categories, i am looking for version for 3.2 but cannot find its download link.

PHPLbid does not support sub-categories, so if other one has it, i would go for that.

[SearchBuster]

I use phpLB.

[NeoGen]

I would suggest PHPLD v 3.2 :D

[mikey1090]

phplinkbid every time

www.webdirectorybid.com
www.zorg-links.com
www.biduplinks.com

a lot can be achived. Just look at those sites:)

[kiviniar]

phpLinkBid would be my preference..

Havent used the PHPLd bid version, but i guess that cause i am happy with PHPlinkbid

[tdoggy]

I just got phplD for the first time, and I'm not so sure how much I like it. On the other hand I really liked phplB, very easy cool script, imho.

[matik]

I preffer phpLinkBid

[Yoda666]

i use I use phpLB it does the job :D

[rhyswynne]

I am using PHPLD for my (free) Directory. May use phpLinkBid for my paid one though :)

[deluxdon]

I am using phpLB at my deeplink bidding directory www.topbidlinks.com

But surely want to try phpLD Bid for Position afterall its product of david's phplinkdirectory ;)

[jg123]

version for 3.2 but cannot find its download link. - You have to PM David for this. I think he is sitting on the fence (on a public wide release) a bit until he sees how Gooogle treats bid directories this coming update. I use v3.2 phpld bid on my unique bid directory (http://www.topurlsearch.com) and am happy with it so far.

phpLinkBid works well

I have tried both phpLB and phpLD bid script for a new bid directory site I started and in the end, I forked out that $29.95 for phpLB even though phpLD bid script was free. Why? Because phpLD bid script felt so....fake. It may have had sub-categories and all, but it was never intended to be a bid directory script. phpLB on the other hand was built with the intention as a bid directory and has more powerful features such as auto-approve and bid received alerts even though it does not have sub-cats.

Verdict: go with phpLB and do not settle for anything else :D

this is a very good point. phpLD only made a bid version as phpLB was doing so well and was popular.

Cool guyz. I've just bought another license from phplinkbid. Thanks everyone ;)

[mikey1090]

Glad to see you made the right choice. Let us know your promotion plans, i'll probably submit when i start seeing results.

[fear]

I will be soon sharing the plans and the site url :)

i think that you should use phpld bid script as all the previous mods for phpld works with this script so it makes it much easier and gives you many options.


phplb while is a good script, does not have that easy admin panel and definately doesnot have that many mods.

[mikey1090]

there is nothing wrong with the admin panel. It does everything you need.

As for the mods, there is the deep links mod, and i have made a bunch of mods myself for zorg links. I think i have almost finished modding the script to include everything it needs, other than what is included in the next update due out soon, like mass mailer, sub categories.

[smub]

well it is a new script and needs more updating ... but phpld admin have already too many functions which phplb current version does not.

you made the mods for yourself, i am talking about commercial / free mods.


:)

[mikey1090]

Ok, what mods does phpLB need? Tell me some good ones and i will release them for the public.

of course, phpld is a bigger script, hence the more in depth admin panel:)

i need the MOD that automatically adjusts google and puts me at #1 for any key term i want :evil grin:

[mikey1090]

Ok i got it sorted. Basically, you hire around 100 gun men to take down every employee in google. You steal their passwords and leave them un harmed.

You set yourself to rank 1 whenever you want. Nobody gets hurt, family is not involved, and the police no nothing about an armed SERP attack. You get good traffic and due to the fright, google employees crank your PR up to 9. The PR9 brings you a lot of your favourite stuff, traffic. The traffic boosts your sales. As a result, you buy beer and flowers for all the google peeps that you scared with your black water pistols. You apologise for preventing them from working for a few hours when they were under hostage. As a treat you send in a hypnotist (cant spell) who makes them belive your other sites deserve good rankings. Your other directories own the SERPs.

Mike wakes up from fantasy land, decides that was not nice and too much beer does strange things with the mind.

lol good one Rob :p


how about a pr listing mod which is avail. for phpld alrdy

and how about

multiple category


and suggest a category on submit page (lol Phoenix)

how about a coupon mod also -> which reduce the minimum bid for some people.


and i am thinking about both yearly and permanent listings so i can offer both at once.



Mikey looking forward for these releases from you :)


lol bro this script needs alot of work, so does phpld but just for a preference phpld has grown a bit more than phplb so i prefer phpld because of tht because all the above can be made available for phpld bidding directory.

[jetbrains]

I prefer to phpLinkBid.

[fear]

I just bought phplinkbid lets see what happens. And mods for phplinkbid will soon come out after sometime as its a new script, its gonna take sometime but will for sure make some name soon.

Just remember phpLD has been around for many years longer. Its on version 3.2 compared with 1.2 phpLB.

What is a pr listing mod? If you mean sort listings in order of PR, why bother? Its a bidding directory so it should always be order of bids. Thats my opinion anyway.

I can code a coupon mod, give me until the end of the week. I can also code a suggest category mod.

As for sub categories, see my previous post

I think i have almost finished modding the script to include everything it needs, other than what is included in the next update due out soon, like mass mailer, sub categories.

Sub Categories are coming in the next update, so no need to make that mod:)

Those two would be ideal! If you could come up with that they will be excellent additions to my bid directory :)

[mikey1090]

i'm just worried that if i make all these mods now, i will have to re-code them all when v 1.4 is released...
