I am willing to replace and customize my phpLD web directory script with Open source Wordpress.. I need all features like phpLD including Payment Gateway powered with Wordpress?? How can i do this?? Is this possible ??? If anybody does earlier as i need ??
As i said Earlier Most of the phpLD powered web directories are no where getting PR in deep pages...Really Google is Keen to penalize phpLD powered web directories... Wanna Proof.Here is the Proof..I have number of Word press powered websites..still not started working on it...registered on this website on 14-Sep-2007..powered with wordpress check this site Still no back links..Just installed wordpress in it..check this for my wordpress powered site.. But my web directory named www.freemagicdirectory.com has still PR0 and which registered on 24-Dec-2007..(After registered this site Google Updates PR thrice) and nearly 800+ google crawled pages for my directory...Still my directory submit page still unranked...But wordpress about page had PR1 Google Hates phpLD and Loves Blogs and Wordpress..Also Wordpress had great support and huge collection of templates and Plugins...Easily customizable too.... Directory and those Deep pages Without Page rank is hard to promote and can't sell links in it.. What do you think????
I think you're mistaken. PR is based on the number and quality of incoming links. I also see no reason for Google to penalize directories that don't do anything stupid (and David Duvall wouldn't do anything stupid with phpLD either - it's his bread and butter, afterall), nor does Google "love" blogs either.
My adice is that,dont switch to Wordpress for now,as in near future,you are surely going to get some nice PR,but if you go for Wordpress now,it will again take ages. Thanks.
The fact that you are trying to promote your site/directory to get PR so that you can sell some links on the site is more than enough reason for Google to penalize your pagerank and give you what you have now. In my opinion you have the right PR now, please don't feel offended but try to understand my point first. First try to change your perspective on this whole issue, changing to wordpress, joomla, drupal, phpld or whatever else wont help you otherwise cause link selling for PR simply sucks and I think google made it pretty clear. Try to Respect that! You should accept money to review the sites quicker with more priority, not for those sites to have a link on your PR pages cause that plain sucks and is against Google Tos! Even getting backlinks wont help if your site follows a link selling strategy. And it is absolutely untrue that phpld sites don't rank better. Most phpld sites don't have Pr cause they are buying or selling links. Stop doing that, respect the Google guidelines, and you will get a good PR!Best of luck, and once again please don't feel offended, I'm honestly just trying to help you.
