    There are many Directory Scripts out there so I decided to create a poll for those using directory scripts other than the post popular: phpLD, qlWebDS and eSyndiCat

    The Full List of Directory Scripts is here:

    Oldest Players on the Market:
    1. phpLD (since 2005) with over 100,000 installations
    2. qlWebDS (since 2005) with over 67,000 installations
    3. eSyndiCat

    Other Players:
    Did I miss any major or minor players in the Directory Scripts field?. If so, please let me know.

    What I'm wondering is which script provides the best indexing. I'd like to know what script will get all those deep categories indexed.

    You did not list the best as a choice... At least in my experience. Second best may be eSyndicat... You skewed the results of your poll by listing the number of installations. Popular does not equate to best. Anyone can be popular when giving their product away.

    You forgot to add 'other' and 'own' (as in personally scripted by oneself)

    Also, I agree with bruce about the poll being skewed because a couple have additional text next to them.

    Also, Also, Why not just add the scripts alphabetically with no bias.

    But you did include the "other than the post popular" in the poll.:confused:
    By the way, eSyndiCat has also been around since 2005.
    How do you know the amount of this, "phpLD (since 2005) with over 100,000 installations"?

    eSyndiCat is nearing the 31,000 mark for members in the forum. Nowhere near your numbers for phpLD or "your script" qlWebDS.

    This thread is just going to turn into posts of "I use phpLD". :rolleyes:

    Looks like duval still begs people to skew polls. hahahaha


    I think DP should create a rule for polls just as they do for sigs; People need a certain amount of posts and registered time in order to vote on polls.

    Anywho... back to the thread. I just got my laugh for the evening.

    That makes them the best in the Industry.

    I don't think you can edit a poll the way you can edit a thread. Can you? I couldn't find this option.

    It is hard to vote on a product unless you have used more than one of the scripts.

    In my opinion, a poll is not very credible if it is started by someone with a vested interest in the result.

    I have used several directory scripts, but my favorite is eSyndiCat, which is the only one I use now. Very easy to use, powerful, many easy to install plugins. Support gets an A+. As far as paid scripts go, very reasonable cost.
