    I think I am seeing more new directories coming up this month. Threads are moving down in "Announcements" forum just like BST forum. More work for directory submission guys. :)

    Also I am seeing some very "touching" promotional offers in the past few days. (The one by Popo is so far "The best").

    So to me, I think all of the directory owners are again trying to promote their directories and for now the target is "August" (The next Update) :D

    We just upgraded Yhay to 3.2 and also installed some nice mods in there!
    A logo is on the way as well...
    People seems to apreciate the new look as we get quite a few featured submissions in the last couple of days! :)

    Not much going on here this month. I've been blogging more this month, but I guess I'm going to do a promotional offer soon ;)

    I spent some time this month submiting deep links for all my directories to try and keep inner pages out of the supplementary index, it is a long proccess and should be half complete by the time the next page rank update rolls around.

    I have successfully had 2ListNow.com upgraded to phpld v3.2 and am now offering deep links with each submission. All seems to be running smoothly, I also spent some serious time pruning dead links and a few left over spammy sites from a year and a half ago when we first launched and listings were free. I also have let 7 site-wide links expire and replaced them with 4 premium ad spots that include a screenshot. I will probably let more expire because I over-sold them a bit when I was younger and more green. I also need to spend some time moving links around so they are in more relevant categories, I was waiting for inner pages to hold steady rank and that seems to have happened.

    I have decided to add a few sub-catgories to my nicest looking directory Submit4Backlinks.com because a few of the categories (especially directories) have started filling up. When I first launched I was hoping to only go for main categories but I now realize I will have to add some subs but I don't think I will have to go beyond the second level.

    My webmaster themed directory WRdir.com got a PR5 on this past update but some of the categories are still empty, so I will be adding a few authority listings and also trying to build a few backlinks for those same categories.

    Been busy this month...

    Directory Share was updated with a new logo which was developed here on the forums via a contest. The site has almost lowered it's Alexa to 150k after some serious promotion work... the backlinks finally broke the 50k barrier in Yahoo and 25k in Google (Webmaster tools, not public).

    As well as that I released a couple of new mods and have been following mhadmi's work on his blog with interest.

    qlWeb Directory Script v. 3.0 - Free version - will be available on May 25th.

    Im willing to give this one a try, everythings worth a look i guess, their paid version available the following month.

    Ive not seen much mentioned about this script, i mostly know of it running on many Polish directories.

    Yes, this has enabled all PhpLB users to easily add categories, and most have. I've also received a lot more submissions since changing from alphabet sorted.

    I receive lots of submission when its on offer, which have no deeplink nor details mods yet. But now, since i have both 5xdeeplink and 1xdetails available, still getting some submission from visitor. 1 or 2 submission per day on Heavy Directory, while the top bid directory here, get some support too, even it is still new.

    I hope the best for all member on next month and also same goes to my 2 newborn child.
