    Hi, im currently re-designing my directory - im making it 100% hand-edited so that i have total control over every single page within the directory (yes its harder work but has its benefits)

    anyways i was wondering if i have the linking structure worked out correct, im gonna give you a link to a page that is quite deep in the directory and am asking u for you opions on how the structure is set out.

    it something like this:

    home > directory > category > sub cat > sub-sub cat

    http://www.directory.just-4-teens.com/arts-crafts/music/composers/

    thanks

    I assume you have some script writing your page titles, but I'm not sure that they are the best titles for SEO.

    As far as the linking structure goes I can't think of anyway to make it better. If it works, and it does, how can it be improved?

    Well aside from good backlinks the title is about the most important thing looked at by the search engines. I don't think your "breadcrumb trail" titles are going to help your page in the search engines, if that is a concern of yours.

    Correct. The title should contain your top keyword phrase or two.
