Does your doamin name handler have a direct effect on your directory PR (i.e. is .com better then .net, .net better then .info, .info better then blah blah blah)? I was thinking about creating a niche directory using phplink directory and doing the custom design myself but apparently all the good names I wanted are taken in .com However I have managed to find a strong .net name and was wandering if it would be wasted time in building a directory for a non technological listing on a .net domain or if I should just keep monitoring expiring .coms?!? Still a newbid in SEO and this will be my first "real" attempt at anything other then AdSense so be gentle.....I am very much still learning....and very much beause of this forum here
