    I'm looking for categories I can use for my new bid directory: bidupdir.com

    Please suggest your categories here, thanks :)

    main cats should be bidding directories, web directories, seo, advertising and mortgages.
    That should cover about 90 percent of what gets submitted ;)

    What audience are you trying to catch?

    If you seek "general info" then thats your start just build your lower categories...

    thx

    Exactly! If all you want to do is target DP members as your submitters, then go for what you have. If you want to grow it out, think about some categories that people actually search for.

    It's probably more of a webmaster directory, but I'm not going to say only webmaster links. Thanks guys :)

    You should try and list a few popular sub-categories on the home page also, with the categories. That might look good. The page has few things on it. Might not give it a look of a big and popular directory.
