I used the open source directory YALD (Yet Another Link Directory) and then proceeded to customize it. The main reason I chose YALD was the system it uses for searching the database. I'm not pro but I think its system is pretty good.

Then I converted it to search engine friendly urls. By the way Google indexes I must have done something right.

Then I added a custom meta tag feature that makes a new SE friendly page for each category. Each dynamic page has a unique title and description based on the category displayed.

I added some admin features for emailing submitted sites when approved.

I added to the user control panel to allow access to some of the other features such as creating the code to create a "semi" cloan of it that can be installed on any website.

Anyway, it was a lot of work but when I launched a real estate advertising site and realized I was site 360 million and one in the Google results page I figured I needed to do something different. After you get it built be sure to post its link here in the forum. That has helped my stats quite a bit
