What is the favorite free directory script? I want to install one of the free directories, the main use of it will be reciprocal links. Thanks!
Before this turns into the worlds longest thread read this one... Directory scripts It's the definitive guide to the scripts we feel passionate about.
a good one is phpld2 (http://www.phplinkdirectory.com/). there is a commercial version too but the free one should work fine for your plans.
Oh, and turning the question around What directories do you like submitting too... Some are easier than others. Personally I don't enjoy being the end user of phplinkdirectory.
phpLD and eSyndicat are good if your purpose is only reciprocal links then go with Reciprocal Manager
I usually hear the opposite, but as of 3.06, there will be 3 different versions of the submission form (already working great in beta, just not released til mid July), so you can customize the experience to best fit what you think your users will desire most.
I tried both the phpLD and eSyndicat (the free versions) and i prefer eSyndicat the most out of the two.
If only the site was working. How professional... Could not connect: User esyndica_cbazyx has already more than 'max_user_connections' active connections
I went with Site-Sift myself which I didn't like at first but I found it really easy to Mod and ended up sticking with it - adding a ton of cool features from the Admin side (I think both Stuart of Site-Sift and David of phpld are great guys to deal with) I wanted to give phpld a fair try (hadn't tried it since it came out) but my directory was fully indexed and I didn't want to change over. The only one I don't like is Biz Directory
My vote goes for PHP LD. In my opinion, it is much better from the submitter's point of view and also great from the webmaster side.
