Hi, I did a specific search of medicine and directorydump.com came up. I was like "holy crap, no listings in that category and it still was on first page of google." I saw that they list NEWS that gets linked to various news sites pertaining to that specific category topic on EVERY page. A. I want that! B. How does it work? Is it updated automatically with news changes? Is it a mod? Please explain to a newbie. Anyone else have this on their directory that can show me how it's displayed on yours so I can see variations. Thanks!
We do our own every day Forplex Revolving News http://www.forplex.com/revolvingnews.php We decided against using feeds so we write the unique text daily
I found it here , though not sure its the same which DD uses. http://www.directoryshare.com/free-phpld-mods.html#category-newsfeed
Also i think http://www.after5webdesign.com/pldmods.html holds what your after too. I still need to install this on my own.
I use http://rsscontentbuilder.com/ for index-it.net. But I do not know if it works for any of the directory scripts. They have both a free and paid version.
The power of promotion is what should be attributed to this. Can you post/pm what the term was? As always, DirectoryDump Web Directory will continue to pursue its goal, whether hated on, QBC'd or otherwise... hopefully i will have an xmas gift for everyone :evil grin:
Exactly as AnOn said: it's a matter of promotion. You can have tons of news (no matter if it's rss feeds or manually) and it won't affect your rank so much until you put some efforts in promotion. DirectoryDump is highly promoted, so it can be high for keywords from news
And i thought i created the wheel! :BangHeadonWall: though im still wrking on mine, it has news on each category relating to the category, and news on Details page, relating to the category to which the site belongs! and news on search, with the search words! now whats left are alphabet listing page, and page rank pages! i still have some details pages in suplimental listing on google even after this! searching for something to get those out! and yes Exactly as AnOn said: it's a matter of promotion please do check Dir.vc, the Smart Web Directory, now its open for all .... details on home page! M. EDIT: frontpage updated via cron job, rest onload, .... All cached for an hour!
Thanks everyone. I'm glad to see that I will be able to get this feature onto my soon to be upgraded directory. I think that result is telling me I should buy a listing there cause that most likely will give my site a push since the search term is related to my directoy. Is that a good way at looking into buying listings on directories? If I do searches for terms related to my niche and the directories that come up mean they are strong and I should get listed on them? Thanks!
Most definitely a very good reason. My goal isnt to try and sell pagerank, my goal are SERPs and Traffic.(for which you just discovered) I will send you the full term and you will see I am also top 10 for that too. I have several hundred top 10 terms and am looking for more. (I'm also going to show you my sleeper directory ranking for it too :evil grin: ) I do have my tool that caused a slight problem with my hosting, but I have gone ahead and bought some dedicated hosting with a stronger processor that will soon allow me to be able to provide the tool for free for others to use, so will can check up on these sites you are considering on paying for, before actually paying for them.

hello... We use it on sleek and it will be done with most others as well... We dont just use one but try to find the best News feed pertaining that subject to keep the relevance in line. I myself prefer a Feed that offers pictures and not just text... (though hard to find) The reasons i use it my differ from others but in the end its a nice addition and the people going to that category have the best available resources at a glance.. Some examples on mine... http://www.sleekdirectory.com/Automotive/ http://www.sleekdirectory.com/Arts/Paintings/ http://www.sleekdirectory.com/Regional/Germany/ http://www.sleekdirectory.com/Regional/Russia/ http://www.sleekdirectory.com/Automotive/Parts_and_Supplies/ thx malcolm
