What are the unique features your directory offers and which part of your directory you are the most proud of?
Well I believe as pipes said...its in the domain name. Also if, as a directory owner you care to create unique descriptions for each listing, that makes your directory unique too (as long as someone aint copying and claiming it as his). Besides, it's the design; most good directories have unique design. Additional and custom features could be technical uniqueness too...Lastly, I sincerely believe uniqueness could also be your promotional strategy...how you are promoting the site and whether or not you're using an unconventional method
the design, category structure, domain name and the submission fee, someone ask for star, someone ask for ten cents, it's the difference IMHO.
Hmmmm.... would you like to point me to even one single copy of our directory? I'm talking about the one that in my signature. Can't wait to see it with my own eye fastreplies
Only accept Quality links. Take time to review each site submitted. Have more guidelines (you can refer Dmoz, Yahoo etc) to improve Quality. If you are not sure you want to accept or reject a site, then accept it and put a NoFollow. So Google doesnt know the existence of that site link in your Directory. I have always read many Articles on the Quality of inbounds. But I havent seen much written on the Quality of "Outbounds". Well your Weightage in Search engines also depends on your Directory's Social Status By That I mean, to "which all sites", your directory is linked from and to. If your Directory is linked to all High Class Sites, there is a chance that gradually you would also get that Status So Quality of Outbounds is also a major factor. Put Nofollow by Default. Review each site thoroughly and promote them to DoFollow once they qualify your Quality Guidelines. Google doesnot bother looking into NoFollow links. So, in the eyes of google, your directory does not have any relation to such sites..

The thing I am most proud of is our bot which helps aid us in insuring there are as few dead links, redirects, dead sites, or deactivated/reactivated sites.
The Unique thing is Page Rank and Backlinks. Every directory has the same copy of categories. But the directory which has good page rank and more backlinks is selected by people.
I agree with this post- the sites of directories are recognized by the high PR and much more back links. and the other things like unique page and custom features are keep litil-bit importance in the site but not much.
It amazes me when people who sell “get rich quick†scams are talking about things that they had no slightest ideas. Hey earnincome, what is PR represents if not backlinks? fastreplies
