Directory scripts and purchasing links decisions

    Would any of you find yourself partisan to a particular directory script to the point that you would not purchase a featured link on a directory because it wasn't using the script that you prefer as a submitter/directory owner and because you only use one particular script yourself?

    I imagine most people wouldn't care and would be concentrating on the other aspects but im curious if anyone is a sole supporter of one script only.

    Not me, I submit where I feel comfortable, a familiar script is nice, but all directories simply must pass the various SEO friendly tests

    quality of the website is what counts not the script

    I agree, its just with, for example phpld being so popular i was curious if some people would turn their nose up at a directory because it wasn't running their favourite script.

    As you both pointed out, its down to quality of the site and other important factors, very true.

    its not what script the directory is running on, its about the value they offer to webmaster. phpld is pretty good because its not only SEO friendly, it is also very flexible.
