Finally, the moment you have all been waiting for! I have now released the phpLD PR Update Tool V2.00! Here’s what’s new:
- Added phpLD V3.10, V3.20 support
- Added phpLD V2.10, V2.12 support
- Added “Update Complete” message when updating links.
- Added installation check to help ensure mod is installed correctly.
- Added advanced feature to allow change of data center depending on which you prefer to use.
You no longer need to do manual MySQL updates to add the PR tracking now. I have added that to the tool. This was a source of confusion for a number of users.
If you want to blog about this news, please do. However, if you do, could you link to the download page please? And not the download files?
With the recent Google page rank update on 28th April, you’ll now be wanting this tool for your directories too!
A while ago, I started the Category Project to allow people to design their ideal category structure for directories. However, the project was surprisingly under-utilised. Therefore I went ahead and designed my own ideal directory category structure, and released it as one of the Category Dumps.
I’ve seen this Category Dump in almost all new directories, and it features over 700 categories. So thank you to everyone using my category dump!
Whilst looking for directories doing interesting things, it was suggested that I look at DirectoryMonster.org. When I looked at the submission guidelines page, I found a really simple tip that I think should appear on all directories!
Apart from the rules that most submitters tend to ignore, it gives a simple example of a good and bad submission:
We like this submission!
Title: izeel network
Desc: Web related service provider. Offering quality web directory service, tools and resources for webmasters.
We don’t like this submission!
Title: izeel network - Quality Web Directory Service, Tools and Resource provider
Desc: Web related service provider. Offering quality web directory service, open source templates, tools and resources for webmasters.
Don’t add any keyword for your link title and description, Title should be official web site name or Company name. And briefly describe your business, service or web site at description area. Don’t repeat the title in the description.
It only takes a few minutes to do and should reduce the number of bad submissions too!
I’ve only just discovered that there are now new versions of phpLinkDirectory available. The free release has now reached V2.12 and the paid version has reached V3.20.
I have been very busy lately, and I have been trying to complete the PR Update Mod. However, with the release of two more phpLD versions, I will aim to add support for them. Looking at the changes for V2.12, the PR Update Mod should work with no problems but I need to check this. I also need to check the support for V3.20 too.
I’m getting there, I promise!
Thank you to all of my recent donations! They are very much appreciated. Thank you to my latest two donors, Hitflip Media Trading GmbH and Femi Hasani. You can see everyone who has donated on my donations page.
