I've also designed and builded my own directory from scratch.

Ditto.

I also don't plan on sharing the code because I have some integrated tools that I developed over the years that give me a serious leg up against the competition that none of the OS directory software offers, yet.

The free stuff doesn't typically do much with local listings, if anything at all, and if they have any link checkers built in it's bare bones stuff that doesn't protect the directory owner from linking out to bad neighborhoods. Some people try to use other link checking tools to validate their OBL's but they only check basic errors as well.

OK, maybe I'm being selfish by not sharing some of this technology but I sure didn't get any help developing it either ;)
