    One quick tip
    Replace the _ with - :)
    http://www.directorycafe.com/Internet/Web-Directories.html

    How about targetting three word phrases instead?
    That will give you some search engine traffic as of now. :)

    I'll Add more in a while

    Remove the rel=nofolow tags.

    It's a setting in phpLinkDirectory :)

    OK the underscore _ is a character while the - is a space a separator. So one_word reads as oneword while one-word reads as one word (two separate words) take this as fact, it has been confirmed by Google but I can't be arsed to go looking for it :D

    SEO friendly is a much maligned phrase.

    In its simplest terms it means. the site can not be spidered because of the code. then it goes down to the ability to control on page elements and the linking file structure, page titles descriptions etc.

    In the case of the above no follow instance it means that the site is not friendly to Google. Also the use of jumplionks (out links) can make it not seo friendly with regard backlinks

    topline shopping has 163 pages listed in Google so not many pages are indexed. the out links are direct eg <a href="http://dragoncaves.bravehost.com"

    Who said it is not seo friendly and why?

    I am a bit busy at the moment so have literally spent a minute or two looking.

    Re: jumnplinks <a href="http://dragoncaves.bravehost.com" is a direct link as the url of the site is immediately referenced. a jumplink will likely use some other method such as jump.cgi etc. In short if the link is not directly referenceing your page then chances are it is a jump link.

    Masetek hit the nail on the head here. This guy is using a very SEO-freindly script (PHPLD) but has chosen an option provided with the script to have NOFOLLOW tags added to all the listings. What this means is search engines will ignore all the links. If Google, Yahoo, and MSN won't recognize your link, then there is absolutely no point in submitting to such a directory. Why someone would start a directory and be afraid of actually LINKING to people is beyond me. I'll never understand crack heads. :rolleyes:

    Guys, I have to point out there that not ALL search engines use the nofollow tag.
