Should I add a directory to the site in my signature? I was thinking about a google directory clone. looking for some constructive input (I hope)
Interesting concept for a site. I think I would move at least some of the About information to the homepage. As it is now it looks like something didn't load right. Perhaps rather than a Google clone, I would keep in the green theme and create a niche directory for green-related sites.
Why would you want a Google clone, why not just point to Google directory or DMOZ as it has the same contents. I probably don't understand the whole question in general. What is the need for a directory?
Mine saves you energy. Theirs do not save you anything. I'm adding a few more features in the future to make the site worthwhile. My directory is entirely custom made.
Your site looks like a google custom search engine currently. Why dont you use a phpLD script for creating google directory clone (link directory script).
I get it, just visited your website and now know what you're saying. Save energy by having a black background while doing search using Google on a modified site. Like the Google web page which has a Directory you also want to do that but with a black background just like you have done with the Search page? Just visited the Directory section which contains no listing and this tell me you have not download the ODP scripts that would make your directory to be a clone of Google which will have the same listings as Google or DMOZ. I guess that is where the question you ask -- Should you do the clone? NO, it wont get you anywhere as far as search engine is concern. Many years ago the Directory cloning was a hit among directories, I had one myself and it really does no one any good by having a duplicate contents, though your argument here yours saves energy and you might be on to something there as the world right now is trying to be green. I don't know, maybe if you promote it well enough they will come and use it as alternative for the sake of being green. Goog luck!
