Hi all! I am looking for some help with my latest directory project. It is the Student Resource Directory. I am looking for Category and Sub-Category suggestions for the site. If you click the link above you will find a shell for a directory which is just a place holder for the site. I am actually in the process of migrating to the new version of PHPLD and will be adding a new improved template. I still am building the back end and want to make sure the categories reflect what a true student resource directory would have. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Please post them here.
first of all the adsense placement si abusive. Second of all, if you are a stundend you should know what categories to add. As an advice, include education related categories, etc.
Hi This might help you. 1) colleges and uni. (where you can put list of college and uni.) 2) Financial aid and grants (financial aid and grants related sites) 3) college budgets (where you can put college budget related calculator and other resources) please let me know that helps so i can suggest you more.
Its good to see a nice Niche directory being built. Perhaps look at wikipedia or a directory like Dmoz when building your category structure. Thats how I built mine.
I think there are a number of forums that cater to the college crowd. I'd check them and see what the kids are talking about.
Thanks everyone for the great replies except for hyper who obviously didn't read my post very well. I am not a student, nor have I been one for a long time. Just trying to build a quality directory. I didn't think of the DMOZ thing, that is a pretty good idea as well as the Sports thing, I hadn't thought of that at all, but it might be a good addition. Still working on a good template for the site. Thanks for the replies. Keep 'em coming!
This is a good line of cats and these categories can get pretty big if you really draw out the possibilities. Good thoughts. I appreciate it.
When I was in college (a long time ago) these are the topics I would have liked to see: - Liquor beer beer - Pizza Cheese Pizza Sausage Pizza Pizza Delivery Beer and Pizza Sorry, couldn't resist.
