Content Management Help Needed

    I'm trying to make a career directory filled with thousands of telecommute jobs leads. Currently I'm using the Business Directory Plugin For Wordpress (Example: ehustleonline.com/telecommute-career-directory) but noticed that my content isn't showing up in search engines, I also noticed on other sites that if too much content is listed, the directory stops working properly. Is there any other way to manage my content like the business directory plugin without using it?

    here's an example listing on my directory ehustleonline.com/telecommute-career-directory . I would like to manage the content without the Business Directory Plugin. If you take a look at the Example directory on the Business directory plugin page, you'll notice that the page numbers aren't working because it's filled with too much content businessdirectory.squarecompass.com/example-directory. The directory has been active for about 2 months on my site.

    Heya, the pagination seems to be working . And the page you sent me is indexed too. I checked the cache of the page and the directory listings are there too, But the page 2,3,4 pages are not readible by google and probably wont be because the pagnation seems to be ajax powered, and I do not think googlebot has ajax capabilities

    Thank you! Can you recommend a plugin that's SEO friendly that will display all of my content? What would you suggest? I'm trying to display or 3,000 telecommute companies

    I typed it up in Microsoft word and then pasted it in the Business Directory Plugin.

    I would even like to do something similar to this: gerry.ws/links which is from "Web Directory Plugin" but I can't get the configurations to work properly.

    I read the code and I'm not certain it will work with what you are working for, It just looks kind of confusing. Find anything good in it?

    I installed the plugin but still left a little confused. It seems like they actually want to paste my content on the pastebin website first and the copy the code onto my site. I think that's a but much. I was also considering using a link directory plugin but i'm having a hard time getting any of them to work well on wordpress. I tried Open Links, WPLINKDR, Business Directory, and a few others

    Code (markup):
    Maybe it's something that would work for you?

    Thanks you, I actually received this email yesterday also but I don't think that this plugin will be a good fit for me. Do you have experience with configuring wordpress plugins? If so, i'm willing to pay if you are able to configure the Web Directory Plugin for me.

    Sorry sir I can't afford to take on any work but good luck! Odesk or opening another thread here with specifics might help.

    I understand. Thanks anyway. I actually just paid someone on Fiverr to resolve this issue for me. Hopefully, it will turn out the way that I want it to be.
