I just recently discovered a problem with a certain version or probably a certain emplate(s) for phpLD that is causing your link to never be discovered by a search engine. Let's say you have a list of 1000 directories. At least 600-700 of those are phpLD directories. You submit to all of them, and your might get approved, after weeks or months, to about 400-500 of them. Now I checked about ten phpLD directories and 4/10 had the problem I I mentioned earlier. And that is (sub)categories that contain more than N number of links (N being the number of links displayed per page) cause your link to appear on the second page. And the real problem is there's no way for a search engine to reach that link because there's a bug that causes the 'Next page' link to link to domain.com/index.php?p=2. Let me give you an example: http://www.directoryfix.com/index.php?c=430 Code (markup): This subdirectory has two pages, but the 'Next' page link redirects to index.php?p=2 instead of index.php?c=430&p=2. So effectively, out of let's say those 500 phpLD dirs that you've submitted to will get 4/10 of the links which is 200. I wonder what is causing this as this is a major drawback of the phpLD script. Or perhaps the admins have specifically modified not to work properly? What benefit could they have from this?
That's because many of these sites did not enable URL rewrite, which allows the script to change from that index.php?c=1 to domainname.com/categoryname/subcategoryname/ My directories have URL rewrite so it works well. Go ahead, submit to my directory. It will rank well in search engines. http://www.seewebdirect.com http://www.nkclicks.com
