Thanks Chatmaster .. yeah I am aiming at a niche market.. just my city ... hence
prestonlinks.com
Because I dont want to turn it into a spamdex.. i will structure it with local buisness - social - etc and I will check every link.. i hope to get reconised as an actual directory rather than a link exchange .. my angle is cost.. pay to get to the top of the ladder with a tier system and advertised links on the home page.. even adverts in the form of articles etc..i bought PHPLD and the url if all fails it cost me £35
well i'll give it a blast lol thanks for the advice though..
