    What makes a business directory a perfect business resource? I know some of you would suggest Business articles & webmaster tools. Is there anything else?

    Share your ideas. :)

    Lets say I am a customer that wants to check out some SEO company and their services. What are the best?

    So, if you had some type of system that let costumers actually add a review to the link, and let others view it, that would be great.

    That's a good point. Though that can be misused, but still adding reviews would be nice. It's sad PHPLD team haven't thought about it till now. :(

    Content is king. Sounds stupid, but if you add 1000 unique quality articles to the directory, you'll be looking at 5000 more unique visits a day from the search engines, asuming your directory is well indexed with strong backlinks.

    You already have some great business directories, i would say that just keep doing what you are doing!

    I strongly suggest a website review option in the details page, a client will always like to see some reviews before going into any service or website,


    Nope, if the articles are not keyword rich then you are not looking to get any visitors!:eek:

    Yes they will. They always will. I never mentioned keywords anyway.

    No, if you don't have keywords in your articles, that people are searching, then you cannot get traffic.

    Only if you have niche sites, then you can manage traffic from almost any content, but again some keyword rich content articles will keep you away from the top results on serps! Give me an example of your high-quality content page that gets traffic, i will beat it with my keyword rich content anyday!;)

    Edit: Its getting off-tipic, lets get back to the topic, we can discuss this on IM or PM,
