Related Categories - To Help SEO directory

[shortd81]

I'm almost done with a mod that will allow you to add "related categories" as you wish. This mod will help tramendously with SEO of your directory and getting deeplinks a pagerank.

If you are interested in this mod please post here and let me know.

Yes, PhpLD already has a 'related categories' function refered to as 'symbolic categories' in phpLD, perhaps the name should be changed as it does confuse a lot of people, it did me, yet if your mod has something new to offer in regards to better SEO then cool..interested.

Yes the current one that is out if I'm not mistaking doesn't do the same as my mod will do. Did you check out the link to google? My mod will allow you to add certain categories related to others and have a link to other categories.

Yet making alot of your directory categories to get indexed by google and allow better page rank.

[Neticus]

Yes Ive seen the google link, sounds exciting i'll look forward to giving it a try. :)

looks cool, id like to try it too.

Did you implement it so you can use it easily from the admin menu?

[shortd81]

No, it has it's own admin panel so just incase of upgrades it wont mess with coding.

I still have to tweak it a little more so that it just have related category and not Top Category->Sub Category showing.

Will be available within the next week.

Should I charge for this or no you guys?

Ok so what about a liscense fee? Free but to remove link it will be $xx you know what I mean

I'm not trying to be greedy but do want something out of it weather it's a link or money :D what you think

[shortd81]

Done.....it will be free but donations will be accepted. We ask you to leave link to us. If you would like the link removed please submit a donation.

I will be posting it in the Mod Contribution if anyone is interested.

Features:
-Set any category as related to any other
-Password Protected Admin Area
-Separate admin area (so future updates of phpld won't intefere with mod)
-Excellent to get deep links a page rank
-Very easy to install.

That's pretty cool.
Hopefully, we can find a way to help you.
Are there other people who would like to have the Related Categories as an option?

[shortd81]

Guess not lol
I'll just see how it helps my directory.

It's funny soon as I put it on there I made almost$200 from selling links on my Directory once they seen I had that mod.
