>Links Directory page to list the actual (relevant!) URLs

Netgrease, (great nic) this is exactly what I am doing at the moment.

I recently had a small success with one of my sites being mentioned in an influential announcement list. This then fed into a few other lists which precipitated a rash of inbound links. Luckily the majority of link pages are on topic so I am simply listing them in a series of "as seen in" pages, limiting to 50 per page. I have found that a few of the link pages have been spidered already without my assistance so the idea is for the bots to pick up the others via these pages without submitting.

As Bentler says, making the inbound link pages more accessable to the spiders will increase Authority status, and, as the site is a topical directory already, having more outbound links on topic will increase Hub status, especially if you work on the wording of the outlink titles.

At least that's the theaory, we'll see what happens.
