Hi Folks, I was searching google for an article directory script and came across this site: I thought I would share this information to everyone looking to start thier own article directory. The script is SEF. But there is downside of having the php files encoded. You need to sign up thier newsletter to download the script btw. Regards, Tuning
I'll be making a mod of PHP Link Directory that does this pretty soon. Let me know if you are interested in testing when it goes beta.
tuning- you say "The script is SEF. But there is downside of having the php files encoded" does this mean that the article directory will not be search engine spider friendly since the articles will be encoded or what?
Nope, this means you can't edit php files except templates. The script is SEF, but authors have encoded the files so that there won't be any unauthorized use.
Thanks, I'm just wondering why they would offer it for free..Is there a catch to it? nothing in life is really for free
I believe, they are seeking good backlinks by providing it free. Once they get good rankings, they can sell un coded script for even $999. The script looks terriffic IMO.
That makes sense. I'm uploading the files as i write this. I've seen files with the .tpl extension and .so extension Are these files uploaded in Binary or ASCII format?
I've visited your directorysubmission.net site Do you guarantee that the sites you submit on behalf of your clients will get listed or is the fee just associated with the labor of submitting sites? Will i get a list of the sites you will submit to?
There are article directory scripts (Php) that look very nice. Directory example: http://blogtelecast.com is a nice directory using php similar to articledashboard. I think there are many others out there that do the job. Anything "free" is going to have limitations. I want a script that works!
that articledashboard works ok and is very search-engine friendly. They're debugging as they go and I'm extremely pleased with the results. Just need more articles now on my site(s)!!!!! Margaret
Hi Tuning, I run www.freearticlesdirectory.com which uses article dashboard, and it works fine. I get about 200 articles submitted every day, and it can get a bit labour intensive as most people don't submit to the correct category, or they include too many links in their text. So beware when you take on an articles directory, as I figure you need at least 10,000 articles before you start to make any money. I have launched a specialist travel related directory http://www.rentals365.com/articles/ as I think specialist directories might do better in the future. Mike Carter
Some say this is good script but the author is not maintaining it any more ... http://websight.sourceforge.net/ but i am good and i find out this for you hahahahaha https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=13794&release_id=172381
Mike, If you don't mind me asking, how did you get up to 200 articles a day? How did you get started to attract those many postings and how long it took for you to start getting those many postings? Thanks, JR
I found a better one developed by a DP member. http://www.articletrader.com/articlems/ This is cool! Regards, Tuning
i have a few sites using this script (article dashboar-d)- its ok but it really is a pain to make any changes cause it is encrypted and the wont help you at all .. I finally had my own script made and I got 10 times better results with getting the pages indexed. another thing is there are people who find vulnarabilities in widely used script like this and then hack them and put their own links over the entire directory and hijack your list ... problem is with it encrypted its hard to make it more secure or figure out where the vulnerabilities are.
