Creating a Link Directory

Curious about a few things

[wfernley]

Hi everyone,

I created a link directory for my site and I was just curious about a few things. I created it in PHP and it works with MySQL. It's prints the title of the site which also holds the link and it prints a description.

What I was curious about is considering it is created in PHP and is dynamic will that cause any problems for search engines. The page that is displayed is a php page but soon it will be using a mod_rewrite that will show an .html extension instead of .php.

Also, I was curious about how many links should be displayed per page. I hear you shouldn't go over 100 but should I not go over around 50?

Also, how deep should the directory go. If I want the whole thing to be indexed should I only keep it to 2 levels deep?

Thanks :)

In my directory, the pages on the first level are PR5, the second level is all PR4, the pages on the 3rd level are either PR3 or PR2.

I wouldn't go too deep!

Yeah I was curious how deep you could go.

How about finding links. Are there any posts or websites I can find links to tons of directories to get started with reciprocal links?

Thanks for the reply :)
