    Well after having the initial thought of making a directory about 10 months ago it's had to believe how time flys! Anyway after a lot of money spent and many, many, many hours of wasted time - my directory is finally complete and launched!:eek:ccasion:

    URL Direct is my first business venture and hopefully it ends up being worth it. Ive put a LOT of effort into it especially design wise and Im proud of what I have come up with.

    Im sure there are a few little bugs here or there but I did as much testing as I could so hopefully its all good... THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE SEARCHING TEMPLATE - ILL GET ON TO THAT ASAP.

    I offer basically 3 types of listing..

    REGUALR (free)
    - Standard directory listing

    DIRECT LISTING (paid) - $24
    - Express Review
    - Top Placement
    - Your site advertised in PC World Magazine DVD in the coming months

    Too see what a Direct Listing looks like go here http://www.urldirect.com.au/Web_Directories/Webmaster_Directories

    Home Page Category Sponsor (paid) - $30
    - Link on home page under category name - only 1 per category obviously


    The directory is far from complete Ive managed to include a few little innovations - well I think they are anyway:) But Im planning on much bigger things in the near future and getting those listings as much traffic as possible.

    Im only accepting Australian domains to make certain that all listings stay Australian.

    I also want to highly recommend WSN Links script if you dont have the means of designing your own directory script.

    Anyway PLEASE take a look around tell me your thoughts on the URL Direct and perhaps tell all your friends etc,,:p

    Ive changed it - Im now accepting other domains such as .com but it must be the site must be hosted on an Australian server.

    Ive already recieved 2 payments so things are going good so far:)

    Sire I will add one either 2day or 2moro. Do you mean employment as training or you mean like a job search type of thing because there is a classifieds section up.

    Thanks all accepted. Anyone got some good ideas to promote a webmaster directory? It seems a bit hard being Australian...hmm.
