Thinking of starting a directory

The directory will be for satellite technicians, and dealers.
It will be specific to this industry. What is the best software for this, and any other helpful sugestions would be great, Thanks.

If you are starting a links directory then I would suggest phplinkdirectory at .com of course but the version I have is the 3.2 paid version but it has a 2.0 free version as well

The paid version isn't very expensive.

Not at all, well worth the money I have found, I paid the extra for access to the support forum as well, even then still less than an antivirus program or game costs

Oh forgot......it seems to be one of the more popular ones used that in turn makes for alot of people offering templates, mod and support. Plus future growth potential, one of the things I looked at.......but assuradly the price was a major selling factor :-)

I recommend this quality directory software. There are good friends over there and their customer support is really golden. Congratulations for taking the decision of opening a niche web directory. This is the only way to have success on this market today - by going niche.

I will have to go back and take a look at that in the future perhaps, have to concentrate on getting this one on it's feet then will probably start another with a different niche, the one concern I have about that is I went to their site and it's not complete, had a couple broken links and under repair spots....took me forever to find out how much it cost, that always annoys me too :-) ....

I have recommended them to you because I know I was in great doubts and they helped me a lot to build several answers for vital questions when choosing a link directory script.

Best of luck with your business!

Thanks for the suggestion, I did like what I saw with the features. I also like the demo once it loaded, that may have been my satellite connection causing that problem. I'll most definately have to give it a closer looking at

I sincerely suggest you to join their forum. It is a good place to be when interested about web directories. They got some good SEO people and web developers.

PS: I have no financial reason to applause them, I am not their affiliate or anything. I just liked the way they treat total strangers.

Cheers!
