Suggestions for PHP directory script (not necessarily free)?

    I saw a useful thread on this earlier, but I'm willing to pay something for the right script.

    I think my wishlist looks something like this -- I'm borrowing heavily from the more professional directory sites I've already seen --

    1. no javascript links, just straight outbound links
    2. dead link checker
    3. tiered submission process -- paid and free
    4. ability to move to all-paid submission process in the future while keeping the early people separate (non-paid)
    5. when people search on a keyword and get results, the categories are displayed along with the results -- okay, that was confusing. Like this:

    Boats > Bass Boats (live link to category)
    Bob's Super-De-Duper Texan Bass Boats (live link to site)

    That really helps submitters figure out what categories to submit to when it isn't crystal-clear.

    6. Low bandwidth, clean look

    I don't know, maybe this suggests a particular script to someone? I'd appreciate your input.

    Thanks,
    Blake

    I use wsnlinks at RealState - I think it's awesome. They've been around for years and have built up a really solid offering.

    Thanks, Sarah. I took a look and I agree that it looks good (as much as I can tell from my brief look -- they have a lot of features). My only reservation is that they don't seem to integrate paid links the way some other scripts do. The rest of their features seem really strong.

    I believe in the paid version it's all there. Only $30!

    I really like PHP Link Directory. It is certainly my favorite one to submit to.
