    creating a directories list in not a big deal you can find lots of list on the internet and just copy and paste it ur web directory.. The difficult thing is to update it regularly.

    You could use a simple directory script to create a directory of directories and change template for it to look like a list.

    Alternatively you could write simple php (or other language) code to manage and show the directories. I have also seen some people using Zoho to create such lists.

    Which begs the question, why does everyone want their own directory? Most of the ones I see are never updated and so full of typos you wonder if they are worth the time to submit.

    Just like most things in life when looking for something you encounter both good and bad. This just makes me wonder where you are looking and what your looking at.

    OP - to create a directory list the first thing to do is determine the kind of list your creating. Will it be free directories, paid, bid, niche. How will they be organized, will they be ranked and how will they be displayed?

    Ask yourself these questions and many more and once you have the concept of your site you need to find or create a script to accomodate those features. It is rough to advise specifically on how to create it when you provide few specifics.
