    Ok, so I jumped on the directory bandwagon. As with all sites it is a work in progress so comments/suggestions are welcomed. The site is not new per say as we had a "design" wing to our business that we acquired years ago, but no longer use. The site is http://www.kingbloom.com and has a PR4 currently. You are free to add URL's, as well as suggest categories. All submissions are manually approved.

    Again: http://www.kingbloom.com

    Enjoy!

    I will submit some sites.

    Just a quick warning be carefull how fast you grow it in the beginning.
    I had one directory barred for growing too fast (50+ per day).
    It took me a couple of weeks to get G to readmit it.

    Also the dir shows footprint of a standard script which is frowned upon by G.

    Best of luck

    The script is not frowned on by Google at all, This is a bit of a misinformational rumour. What in fact has happened is that Google has removed what it considers to be duplicate pages on sites, and many people who used this and associated scipts created thosands of empty catgories that were susequently dropped.

    I use this script, and it ranks high for loads of phrases, is spidered almost instantly by the engines. I really recommend it.

    Thank you to all who have submitted so far! I took the liberty of adding a "Recently Added" link to the directory search.

    As to Google and the script, I agree, it is not frowned upon, ie., the script per say as Old Welsh indicated. In any event I have seen it in use on several sites and liked the very clean/basic look and feel it had. There is something to be said about simplicity :)
