Good response. I appreciate that. So your concern is based on the script, and SEO with it. I have take a look at one of category pages of bigweblink via Page Source. It seems there is no description on every category page. I can see a unique title related to the category at the top. But other than that, I couldnt find any advantage in terms of SEO. phplb actually lets you put description for each category you create, as well as unique title. To me, both scripts seem to be very equal in terms of SEO. May be more attractive and unique ideas in Chris' directory script. Or maybe you can elaborate more
Nope mate --with the technical knowledge I have --I should not be discussing all these at all. But I had a pathetic experience with dollarlinking -- and people learn from experiences. So --unless and untill I see some changes --in the whole structure -and feel re-assured of G's acceptance-I should not be going there. Bigweblink looks like more of directory --but the A/B/C/D format didn't look like it. And the present format too is not my liking ( personal ofcourse). Maybe highest bidders could be accomodated site-wide bars, maybe there should be a header for introduction,/banners -etc. etc. Anyway --as I am not interested --no need to take it ahead --isn't?
I think everyone got their links on dollarlinking So, it's not just you. I feel mine got wasted, but my guess is that its because of alphabet categories, placing all sorts of links under them. I don't think G recognizes this one, so they can easily think dollarlinking looks like a link farm. But with the new version of phplb with category function, I think it should be fine. G sees page source. They don't analyze php script for any penalty. (or you could provide me a solid information on this for further SEO education ) I guess if it was mere personal opinion, I can take that.
If the voting on this thread is an indicator then the Bid for Position Directories will need to improve in many ways to even get near the Category Directories in popularity What will those improvements need to be ?
Yes, that's why I asked jhnrang for his point of view on bidding directories. Is it a matter of how links are sorted? Or something more to it.
