    Link Bid Directory and Free phpLB Templates were my two new-born projects. The rate of increase for the number of link bid directories is smaller now, compared to April.

    N1Q Link Directory upgraded to v3.2 and started to offer deeplinks.

    This month I also realized that promotions work and there was an increase in my Google SERPs. I am now happy that I can also send some traffic to my visitors by the help of details pages. :)

    80.6% of our search engine traffic comes from G
    Search Engine traffic is important on sites with heavy traffic :cool:

    SE traffic helps your directory get more reviews

    Check the templates for site-sift!! (I know already mentioned) but they rock!!

    Sold my dirspace directory to a new owner.. Good luck! I'll be sticking around for more directory news.

    Check the recent annual/permanent thread http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=335933 and discussion on avivadirectoryblog.

    Nice discussion on TWT about how to gain links after mattcutts remark at his blog.. details here. http://www.totalwebtalk.com/forum/search-engine-optimization/8033-how-do-you-get-links-now.html More info read JimBoykin.

    Seomoz seems to charging for pagestrength updates.. switch to IQL tool from Bob Mutch http://www.seocompany.ca/directory/ilqtool.html See also the great list from Richie http://www.linksjuice.com/directorylist/

    More and more se traffic for dirspace :), but that's just for the new owner.

    Good luck everybody.

    I wish SEOmoz would fix their Page Srength tool, the Bob Much one isn't working 100% either, the page strength tool defintely put's UK sites at a disadvantage, it doesn't count .gov.uk or .ac.uk links and it only counts about half of the backlinks, this is probably down to uk.yahoo.com though.

    Cooolest thing #1 of the month for me is Matt Cutt's recognition of well maintained human edited directories.
    #2 - Jude's Site-Sift Template.

    #3 - My relentless endeavor to try to make my directory domain -justifiable to a visitor by trying to gather the Best Internet Resources --and provide lots of good contents and tools to visitors.
    I guess -it will need 2/3 weeks more.:( for me to complete.

    #4 - My short vacation to countryside - and visiting my ancestral village where its the Sweet Fruit Season ATM. Enjoyed there a lot :p

    Well at Linkspub we came up with a unique idea.

    We make a graphic business card for Premium & Premium Listings and rotate them on our homepage using our own propietary rotation engine.

    Sample here www.linkspub.com

    A new search module is underway, again, propietary.

    And a few more neat features are in development. While we build the GoingBusiness . com network.



    take care

    Sorry that it didn't happen on May 25th. But we finally released a better free version than unticipated. The Paid version is going to be really interesting.

    No worries, i know its not easy to always reach a due date, usually things are worth the wait anyway, when i have a spare bit of time i will try the free and also look forward to the paid version. ;)
