    I assume you are asking about the directory in your signature.

    No, your directory is not SEO-freindly. It uses no follow tags on the directory listings. This is very bad. It looks as if, on the submit page, you are using the free links w/ nofollow attribute option....but you changed the description to hide the fact you are using nofollows on these free links. No one would ever have submitted their sites to you if they had known you were using nofollow. You should either change the description on the submit page to properly warn people you are using nofollow, or you should remove all the nofollow tags from the listings (found in your link.tpl).

    Not SEO-friendly related, but....your directory has many, many misspelled words. I counted 6 misspelling just on the submit page, and it only has about 30 words total on it. :eek: Your "about" page is also a mess.

    Go to your link.tpl file. It appears you are still using the old v.2 of phpLD. So your link.tpl file will be in the Templates folder. Open it and find the following:

    
       {* nofollow *}
       {if $link.NOFOLLOW or ($link.RECPR_VALID eq 0 and ($smarty.const.RECPR_NOFOLLOW eq 2 or ($smarty.const.RECPR_NOFOLLOW eq 1 and $link.RECPR_REQUIRED eq 1)))} rel="nofollow"{/if}
    
    Code (markup):
    You can remove this above and all those "nofollows" will disappear for good.

    The Templates folder.

    Yes, none of the listings in your directory will have nofollow added to them.

    You can prohibit multiple submissions in the Admin Panel >> System >> Edit Settings >> Link Submit >> Allow Multiple Submit >> No
