New Directory

**primeryder** · 03-22-2007, 03:28 PM

Please take a peak at my new Web Directory:
http://www.bluefiredezign.com/
It has a somewhat unique (of not particularly polished) layout & structure.
I spent some time trying to differentiate this directory as much as possible from the numerous identical PHP directories which are out there and make the links
as SEO friendly as possible. More content will be added as the Directory over time as new listings are added, et.

I really don't see what's "unique" about your directory; after viewing your source code, the first thing I saw was you didn't start your site off with the mandatory <!DOCTYPE Declaration> for code validation and to make sure it displays properly in all browsers ... you should consider fixing your 69 code warnings shown below, and possibly make it a table-less site using CSS:

Code:

Or take some money (30.00) and by a PHPLD directory at www.phplinkdirectory.com or if you want to by a established one their is some in the buy and sell sites section

This site looks clean.

I would rather get list on the site for free for a while before being asked for $4 per month. I am a follower .. ;-)

Make better your design. Think about buying a php link directory or phplynx script.

**viwsnet** · 03-24-2007, 12:29 PM

its so clear site
i think change your template and use color
may be change font

As i recommend my friends, it is good to use http://validator.w3.org/ to validate your pages

**hostking** · 03-24-2007, 09:33 PM

i like the look of it

**webdexed** · 03-24-2007, 10:41 PM

A new directory and it's a PR5? Did you purchase the domain somewhere? No matter, the design looks good. Good luck.
