    Hello,
    I was wondering for www.webdirectoryreviews.com , shall i have

    Title : Title of Webdirectory as Hyperlink, to the website, or the current format :

    Title :
    Url : Url (hyperlinked)

    Work?

    I think i should change it to such that title is linking to the website, thus helping in better directories better in terms of seo ?

    Whats your take on this ? Which method would behind the directories the most?

    Also am putting nofollow tags to other urls like yahoo backlink checking alexa, compete, etc etc. thus giving the directories maximum backlink juice ? Is that advisable ?

    Hi

    For SEO, yes you should use anchor text for the urls, so personaly i'll go with the first option, and no-following other urls is a nice idea too, to give a max juice to the directories.

    keep up the good work, i can see webdirectoryreviews.com Go very BIG!

    cheers.

    Go with the anchor text pointing to the directory. Makes the interview worth more - they will spend time answering questions as its an extra keyword rich backlink from a related site:)

    I agree, using the title that the directory itself uses would add a bit of extra value for the people answering the questions ;)

    Alright folks from now on it shall use the code for titles
    
    <a href="http://www.webdirectoryrevies.com" target="_blank" title="Web Directory Reviews">Web Directory Reviews</a>
    
    PHP:
    By the way feel free to place that code on some punny page of your site if you like. :p:p

    And all the article pages are now XHTML valid as if that matters though, could not figure out how to make main pages valid as the More tag breaks the tables codes and messes up everything.

    Cheers
