Is there any good database dumps for phpld 3.06 out there that contain more than 600 categories? If so can someone let me know either on here, or pm me. Thanks
You can check here for 635 category dump and its free http://www.directoryspy.com/downloads/category-dumps/
i would only recommend using a dump as a starting point. Sure its easier, bu in my opion, the search engines won't give you much weight to the links if it doesn't find any original content on the site. If you use a database that everyone else is using, you should make major modifications to the text/organization of the categories.
