Need some advice on starting a link directory

    Im starting a auto related link directory and need some advice on best way to do this. im only doing this for backlinks to all my other auto website and i probably wont even place ads on this directory and will only accept real websites with good content.

    Which script should i use?

    Any advice from people that have link directories?

    phpld is the best for you,

    if you can buy license that is better but there are a free var. also availble.

    or start your directory with free var. and will update in future. :)

    PHPLD 3.4 is the best one IMO

    It's good that you are starting with a niche.

    pay lot of attention to having good breadcrumb navigation.

    proactively add quality sites.

    do NOT have any footprints of link manipulation ( recips, three way, etc )

    best luck

    Many people likes PHPLD. But in my personally, indexscript is a great script directory .

    You can use phpld or indexu, both are good script.

    I too am going to create a link directory and an article site.

    What are the best free options?

    Go with any directory script but make sure you are populating the categories yourself as well and not relying only on submissions.

    if you not good with coding, or to install mod, you can go with esyndicate script... it very good for people who don't have any experience with directory....

    I suggest you take some time looking at what is available and pick one you feel most comfortable with. I have used or evaluated several (both free and paid) and am currently converting everything to Indexu. You will likely not find one offering everything you would like.
