Need a directory for your website? Link Bid Script could be your answer. It’s been downloaded over 10,000 times so it’s surely working for some. Link Bid Script is a free php link directory software package. To get it for free, you do have to register, but it’s just a simple email/username registration.

I’ve run a few directories in the past, and personally, I think they are a pain. You get spammers, poorly selected categories for sites submitted, and just miscellaneous headaches. I think having a bidding directory could make it a little more worth it though. Money usually makes the pain go away, and having your site submitters bidding for a little better spot can do just that. Bidding placement can also be an advantage to your visitors who are using the directory. Quality of listings doesn’t always mean who has the most money to spend on advertising is the best, but it can certainly filter down the total junk sites.

The script also has various templates to use, phplinkbid script templates, and can also be customized to your own sites. The directory is CMS powered so it’s easy to manage. You can easily include Google’s Adsense code to if you want, and it has an easy approval process. There is also a special service this software comes with. If you are technically challenged, their technicians will install the software on your server absolutely free.

Last week I wrote a post about Velnet Web Hosting. I thought I would mention another site of theirs, Velnet Designs, because they offer a few other software packages to help build your site on the fly.

The company specializes in ecommerce web design, and offer their flagship ecommerce software, BossCart. Their main target audience though,  are those looking for an easy CMS solution. They have online dating software, which apparently is a huge industry. I never new. They also have software for job sites, software for portal sites, and directories to name a few others. The company additionally does custom software packages upon your request, custom logo designs, and has a few online resources. The online resources offer a meta tag generator, a website color picker, and a way to quickly submit your site to search engines.

There site is in the process of getting a face lift so don’t be discouraged if you find a missing link or two. The site owner is very friendly, and quick to answer all your needs.
