If you want it to get large link to the sites and don't incorporate them in frames. Webmasters are looking for qlt links.
Just a friendly advice. ;)

I had someone else write the script I don't understand what you mean about the frames?

Sorry to sound stupid I have a few hundred websites so I'm new to the search engine aspect.

Ohhh..I see what you're saying...the frame that it goes into after you click the link so that you can rate the site? I'm talking to the programmer right now.

Thanks for pointing that out.

If you see anything else or have any suggestion I'm open to hear them.

Well I'll try to make myself clear. :)

This is what a user see when he/she click the link to a listed site.
And this is what the search engines see:

Code:

<title>You are visiting a site outside of our search engine</title>
<FRAMESET ROWS="50,*" BORDER=0 FRAMEBORDER=0 FRAMESPACING=0 name=window>
<FRAME NAME="url" scrolling="no" NORESIZE marginwidth="0" leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" SRC="frameit.cgi?frame=1&id=118">
<FRAME NAME="mypage" scrolling="yes" SRC="count.cgi?id=118">
</FRAMESET>

<NOFRAMES>
Go To http://www.planeon.net/
</NOFRAMES>

Well there is an exception. Google can 'read' frames, but... And if you look at the 'mypage' frame src= it's 302 redirected url. Well it's a bit of complicated. But I don't like the entire concept at all.

It's just a noscript link on an empty page that probably even won't get indexed. It's less compromise to submit sites to 302 redirected directories. If you set up a new directory it's best to start with clear anchor text links. These are just my thoughts. :)

I appreciate the input. I've been out of the internet business for a few years. I've been back for 6 months and this is my first shot at a search engine. I appreciate the input. I'll work on this.

Thank you.

It's good to get positive feedback on a board. Sometimes I say things and I don't know that there are rules when posting or sometimes I sound ignorant and people jump down my throat. I have a lot of large projects coming up and this is a good learning experience. Doing a lot with content management in the near future so I'm trying to make my mistakes early. I'm sure I'll have a ton of questions in the next few days.

Good to feel at home on a board where people are positive with their input.

We all love directories here! And yours looks nice.

But when I was trying to find a category, I went to Directory and did a search, and got web results, not directory results. Possibly because your directory is not big yet?

Anyway, where would I put a Math website?

I appreciate the compliment. You are correct the directory just launched and I am still uploading categories. Let me put up an area for you so you can submit your math site.

Thanks,

Hi,

Your site looks very nice. I have submited my site to the category:

Computers/Internet

I think you are yet add more categories. Move my site to "Search Engine Optimization" when you add this category.

Thanks
Azmi

I like the look of the site, nice colors and simple layout. I just added my site in "Computers/Communications_and_Networking". We do refurbished phone systems, so I'm not sure that really fits, but it was the closest I could get. Thanks! I would have liked an information page for advertisers rather than having to sign up before you have any idea what it will cost, what the minimums are, etc. I see you can get to that from the home page, but the logo at the top left does not link back to the home page, so if you don't look into advertising right away, you're kind of lost. Maybe I missed something though.

Thanks for the link!!
