Hi trafficbiz

You may want to add some content to your directory yourself, because it's looking kind of empty

[sem4u]

You could add this forum for a start

[trafficbiz]

Sure! please do, just click on the "Submit link" on the main page and I'll approve it, asap.

You should add stuff yourself to beef it up abit. Just add all your favourite sites.

All the outgoing links are modified, making them worthless for SEO purposes.

Do you have a suggeston to make it work for SEO?, Like every other directory, you still have to be able to track outgoing clicks for stastics/rating purposes.

If you can go take a look now at added the actual URL in the description, that that it will make it SEO friendly?

Hi trafficbiz - my personal complaint is merely that directories are of most use for SEO purposes when the links on the page are unmodified. Otherwise the spiders cannot associate the modified links with the destination pages that are being optimised for.

Of course, there's an argument that directories have their worth anyway in the form of generating some human traffic.

The SEO thing is just a personal preference.

So what your saying Brian, is if I were to leave the link unmodified, it would definately boost my rankings in search engines? Would if I were to put a hidden "." in the web site result description and put the original website link in that, would it work? obviously the reason why the out link is modified is to track link popularity within the directory.

To be honest, I've raised this issue with another directory owner - the basic point is, SEO advantages are above many submitter's heads. People generally seem to mostly submit to directories for human traffic.
