First directories need feedback

Hey guys great forum, that adsense thing is genious. So I wanted to start a slew of very themed directories, to basically ensure #1 rankings of my webstores. I'm stratigically putting highly niched ones out there to force my competitors to link as it's free and dripping with their theme/keywords to be in charge of the niche category in about 12 months.

Seemed easier and more of a slamdunk than some other friendlier linking strategies. Read somewhere to get really far in online rankings "just offer something free and useful". It stuck.

Anyways.. along doing this I looked at a lot of scripts and wound up buying one from wsn links as it allowed 3 thing I needed;

1) Clean SEO Urls.
2) free/recip option
3) no cgi redirect crud. just clean links

So here is one that I was playing around with even though is not themed. I just could not beleive the domain wasn't taken so why not? Hope you will all give your 2 cents and feel free to list/suggest category.

Couldn't beleive it wan't taken seems keyword friendly. free/recip your choice.

 

I added a couple of sites.
Thanks.

Thanks for that. Changed it up. Tweaking a few other things. I've approved everything including categories.

If someone knows of a deep linking list of directories I'll put out some money to make sure I get some sirect pr passing links to to categories and subcategories.

How does one get onto those directory list, just email the webmasters? Is their a particular web hangout I can solicit them at?

Hi, I just suggested 'mobile phones' category. will be submitting a few sites when add this category.

 

I have added your category. Please If I may ask of people when you suggest a category PLEASE EMAIL OR POST HERE WHAT META TAGS TO USE. This should help everyone out. I have the seo urls and title tags for each page. additionally subcategories like mobile phones are linked directly to the top page.

I added a sitemap yesterday and want theis to be a great backlink for everyone.

 

The error returned:

Error: The file templates/multilingual/custom/tos.tpl does not exist.

 

Submitted a few, thanks. Good luck and make lots of $$$

Thanks. I really don't know how much these things are supposed to pay off. the successful ones I figure if you have a PR of 5 and are on those crucial lists of web directories you can make a ton.

Really just trying to get some experience as I make a living with some online stores and need to learn how to increase those rankings. Figure creating a web directory should teach me how.

Any tips I'd really appreciate
