    Categories is always cool as it helps in the SEO & is more organised.

    Moreover, a directory without categories isn't really user friendly... a user is usually looking for sites on a specific subject.

    categories are better, that helps you to give better meta tags on them. The letters actually dosen't makes much sence! but then i know some of us do like the letters more than the categories!

    anyways, my bidding directory harmu.com has categories, and that's the first thing i asked the mods there, that will i get the categories or not, and they replied that you will have a choise between the letters and the categories! and i chosed the categories:)

    I prefer categories, that's what I use in http://iadvance.info/ :) I think that organizes the links better.

    use categories, it allows related sites to be togethor.

    I would rather have "zorg bidding directory" on a page with other directories, rather than "zebra photos" or something un-related like tht :)

    You can have both the options in your phpLinkBid directory :D
    Everyone will be satisfied for sure. The litings goes in the category and alphabets both. ;)
    Wanna have a look at the demo?
    Bid Web Directory

    The template will be launched soon. Only the spacing problems in right sidebar to be solved ;)

    Looks nice Sharat!
    However I think you may want to change the font color of the link on the footer.White would be better.
    Good luck!;)

    Thanks Richie

    Made a note of as good as four things.
    1. The right sidebar cats - spacing
    2. The footer links - text - color
    3. The text color in inside pages. It's light black again which is not comfortable to read.
    4. Just some tits bits to make it easy to install. :)


    Thanks! It will be launched soon...for free use! ;)
