    Well, the directory looks nice , but the inclusion process is hard to complete, as
    francesco said I see nothing but US and Canada when I have to select the country. I think you could simply use a script already know like esyndicat or phpld.

    Do you mean phpmydirectory? If yes then you are going to have to make some modifications to it to make is Search engine friendly. Currently the links are all jump links as standard, and that is gonna result in your pages going supplemental. You need to make the links direct, (which will stop the stats gathering as that is why they have jump links on it).

    E syndicat is absolutely superb for SEO friendliness, BUT you have to set it up right from within the control panel. Another superb script is PHPlinks directory.

    Phpmydirectory is more of a portal directory script than a normal links directory. It really depends what you are looking for.

    To be ABSOLUTELY honest, I have not really used phplinksdirectory but I know from people I respect that it is a very good script.

    I use esyn & PMD because that is my preference.

    it depends what you are trying toachieve really.

    it's been a learning experience.. I dropped phpmydirectory..
    Went back to Esyndicat. managed to add all categories, Unfortunatly, i killed my database,, i had a backup but it was in a temp directory and it got blown away..
    categories are all setup.. no reciprical required, just need to customize template now.

    Sorry to all those who submitted,, I've lost them.
    but open for submissions, for the final time :confused:

    Solved the problem with number of links not displaying next to categories.
    NOTE: you are allowed to list as many sites as you want and can track all your listings. you don't need multiple accounts.
