Is there any trick that you can do with PHPld to get much more indexed pages than you would do otherwise? I have etc allowed only 5 links on each page to increase the number of possibel indexed pages.
in 3.04 there is an option to create a sitemap for google and yahoo you can submit to them that will help 100% in getting your directory crawled faster or just wait... google yahoo and msn will most likely crawl a few pages then come back later and crawl a few more getting more backlinks will ofcourse help aswell.. you just need to wait it wont be done in 1 day
I have never submitted sitemaps on my directory, and I have had 62 pages crawled by googlebot today alone
Inject multiple feeds into your page with random feeds rotating in and out of various tables to reduce any mention of duplicate content.
oops i read your first post wrong >_< version 3.04 also has "details" pages which will create pages such as http://www.webspassage.com/detail/link-446.html that will increase your pages by how ever many links you have in your directory thats all that i know of.. unless you create pages by hand such as an "about" page or create some new features and turn it into a portal like www.haabaa.com has done
munt, I use the free version so I go with v.2.. anyway.. I installed a detail mod and it's awesome!! Thanks for the tip!
In v3 there is also a mod to show the Latest Categories, so that when you add new categories, you can show them on the home page.
