The Problem
I visit a site looking for a link exchange and I look at the other links they have and wonder if I can exchange links with those ones too. I visit them and then find that they’re already listed. But I have 127 categories so I have to use the internal search tool and it adds significantly to the time spent building up my links. (more…)
I have created a New Zealand (NZ) Directory over on my Botspotter site (gotta use it for something) and it even has an NBO category to hold all the sites that I found when scanning the NBO site which I suspect of proforma scams (see earlier post on NBO).
I was going to see if I could add them to my Property Investment Directory but decided to keep them quite separate and to use Duncan Carver’s script.
The directory system itself was a breeze to install with the only issue being, perhaps, the naming of the folders. You do need to be on a *nix box with safe mode turned off. It imported with ease and allowed me to get started with a large amount of content from NZ DMOZ. It gives a few key links at the bottom of the page and you’re required to leave them in place - no doubt paying for Duncan’s time 
And I feel the default templates should automatically state that some of the categories will be boosted by DMOZ data.
All in all though, a big thumbs up to Duncan. Thank you!
