Web Directories

**jenyfari** · 12-20-2006, 08:55 PM

I am wanting to start up a couple of niche directories and am currently looking for a good directory script. I am leaning towards this one at the moment - http://www.esyndicat.us/ as it seems to have the features I am after.

Has anyone used this software or can anyone recommend anything else? I don't want to have to install it myself as I am not that tech savvy so it has to come with installation included.

Hi Jenyfari,

I am using their directory script and so far I find it a bit better than the other one I have going. I do belive they offer free installation of the Esyndicat script as long as you are buying the Pro version. I was able to install mine myself. You don't have to add as many 'Mod' as my other script.

Regards

Thanks for the info Daryl. At this stage they are still no.1 on my list but I'm still looking around.

Are you looking for any specific features? There are lots of directory scripts, some offer more than others

Many consider phpld (php link directory) to be the best.

I would suggest that you also take a look at indexscript.com

Both are free to use for leaving the banklink in place.

Both have an install program that will work if you can create the database first and take the time to read the directions.

For a small fee I would install either of them on your server.

The main features I am looking for are:

- integrates with Paypal
- ability to make unlimited categories
- also want to be able to have three listing categories (free listing, free listing with reciprocal link and premium listing)
- want to be able to add Adsense ads
- search engine friendly

That's all I can think of at the moment but I am sure I will find more as I find out more about this.

Link Up Gold from from www.phpwebscripts.com has all those features (and many more!)

You can easily do all this with phpLD.

rishimodi has posted quite a comprehensive script list. I'd like to add wsnlinks to it. However, my personal favorite at the moment is indexu.

What features do you like in IndexU?
(I appreciate the feedback, as it helps me make phpLD better)

Thanks,
David

i like this one http://dir.vncentral.com/

PHPLD seems to be the most popular right now, but I've noticed a lot more eSyndicat sites popping up. You probably can't go wrong with either one of those two.

**bzimage** · 01-08-2007, 05:59 PM

I have tried many! and the one that is on www.geekslink.com which was for shareware software works very well and creates massive links.

**jbladeus** · 01-09-2007, 07:40 PM

its a matter of preference really though esyndiacat and your script equally rock, dave.

(though my experience of phpld is limited to v2)

For me, the factor which made me decide on indexu was the feed import feature which they provide in the package and saved me the hassle of installing a mod or carp.

**brainet** · 01-09-2007, 07:55 PM

i probally suggest phpld, many have used it, so its much easier toget support when you in trouble.
