    i have started work on a new directory hopefully it will br finished for the new year

    so far i have added over 1100 catagorys and when it is finished it should be around 15-18000 catagorys

    do you think this is too many or not enough

    I think that is way too many categories. Submitters would have a nightmare just searching for the correct/appropriate category to submit.

    I think that a big directory and a site with easy navagation will work just fine.
    Biz-Giant Directory has over 12,000 catagories and it goes 4 levels deep. As for submitters most find there catagory...the ones looking to get linked to their appropriate catagory but you do have those that chase PR and they would rather be closer to the main.

    thx

    Wowdirectory has:

    "16,726 local and regional directories; each are featuring 17,076 topics. This totals over 285 million cross referenced topics"

    But I do think what you are doing is large enough to start. A category structure should be well planned, but grow with the directory.

    Is it too many cat even taking a more time to downloading your dir, difficult to people to select appropriate category well from my opinion you can reduce some category if you can if you thinking from seo it's worked well thanks i m waiting for your directory.
