Question for Directory Owners ~ Very interesting Please read!

    Dear All,

    As some of you know, I'm currently developing the so called "SEO Website CMS" content management system and I'm deploying some very nice SEO Tools that will help webmasters rank high on all Search Engines.

    The past week I've been developing the Website Directory Module and I've added some nice features that will make it really interesting for everyone and I was thinking how to make it quickly very popular in the webmasters world.

    I'm considering the development of "DIRECTORY FRIENDSHIP" module which will basically do the following - If you're running SEO Website CMS with the Directory Module enabled, your website can enter a "ring of trust" between other websites running the same module and do automatic link exchange on your behalf.

    This will "exchange" directory entrees with other websites - you will list their listing on your directory and they will do the same. Checks for the validity will be done on regular basis - reciprocal link check, search engine visibility check and some other protections.

    So my question is if "webmasters like you" will be interested in playing with such SEO toys??

    I'm going to do that module to swap links between my own network of sites and in large scale it can be deployed to about 100 websites for initial test. This means that if you run this CMS for jump-start you will receive 100 free directory listings and your directory will be filled up with content for simple push of a button.

    Please discuss this in that thread.

    Cheers,

    Venetsian

    sounds interesting. After reading many threads on SEO my mind is overwhelmed with everything i'm going to have to do as a freelancer.

    How much would you be selling this for?

    2 issues I can think of are:

    -One way links are supposed to be much more valuable.
    -I am sure there will be spammers and shady folks that will figure out how to abuse it.

    The answer to the first question is the following - The SEO Website CMS Directory module with default settings works as a SUB-DOMAIN and by the google standards it is counted as separate entity from the main domain and therefore it can be used for 3 way linking.

    The directory will link to your primary domain, and you're going to link to the other website's primary domain and therefore we will be able to achieve the 3 way linking and give maximum benefit to those links.

    The spamming issue is something that "might" happen, but I'm thinking of implementing "centralized" security -- the main website for the SEO Website CMS will be "awarding" daily "certificates of partnership" - simple hashed values of my secret key" that will make create a ring of trust that we can monitor and if spammer enters the network he will be banned and we won't issue him certificate of trust.

    I think that would do the trick.

    What do you think ?

    Cheers,

    Venetsian.

    Ha ha ha ha .. I like this one ..

    Yes it is free and it will continue to be free ..

    The only thing that it will be paid is the "BRAND FREE OPTION" which will simply allow you to remove the "Powered by SEO website CMS and Developed by Psionic Studios, LLC" but I still haven't made my mind how much I will charge for this option.

    Currently I'm running about 5 website test with all the directory features enabled and if everything goes well i'll release the beta testing version this week.

    If you'd like to see how it works go to www.venetsian.com .. this website is totally powered by the SEO Website CMS and also visit www.solarpanelsdot.com which is clean installation with only 1 page and the rest is automatically generated by the CMS.

    Cheers,

    If you like it please post here because that will be the first positive feedback that I got :)

    Well is not so good becouse you will end up reciprocating to unrelated sites

    An exemple a shoping site uses this module plus a healt site use this and the script makes the exchange

    Unrelated links no use

    Did you red the part where it sais "THE DIRECOTRY IS ON SUB-DOMAIN" and this makes it totally different site from your main website????? This does not harm or affect in any way the primary site's position. That's why we chosed it to be done in subdirectory.

    Cheers,

    LOL...
    *wonders why i seem to make people laugh unintentionally*

    So by brand free..that means we can resell it?

    I probably wouldn't want to pay more than $100au..

    Man, Reselling is different story ... maybe we can figure out something in near future but currently we're only testing the cms.

    I want to keep it free and the Brand Free is just the same as what VBulletin offers ...

    Cheers,

    The answer is "not-really" because every web page has its own TITLE addition, H1 and H2's are different, The menues are from the main page and therefore will be different, also the footer. This makes up about 70% of the page to be different on each separate instance of the directory view. Also note that your directory will function as directory and you will have your own listings which will add more unique content from other SEO Web Directories.

    see this sample istance of the directory : http://directory.venetsian.com
    and compare it with this one http://directory.seowebsitecms.com

    Those are two clean instances which have no website listings (yet) Note that the banners on the side are up to you to put. I didn't change them because I don't really care ...

    This makes me convinced that the pages should not be listed as supplemental, but if you don't really work with the website .. you know .. you're not helping it rank also.
