many thanks for reviewing our site. I am pleased to hear some very truthful points you made, which i very much appreciate. The main focus of our directory is to maintain a quality site in organising web resources. Here are some of the unique features of our project.

1. Unique Site Design:
Custom made script with fine directory structure.

2. SEO Friendly:
Very friendly SEO pages, with all accepted sites given sitereport pages, which i believe very useful for search engines with necessary scores. Also each sitereport page given 10 keyword rich anchord links. We also accept sitemap and forums in this page, which we believe nice deeplinking pointed to external site. see: http://hrwebdir.org/sitereport2416.htm

4. Sitemap Linking:
Seen any directories linking to sitemap of external site? We believe sitemaps are more important than homepages, because most pages are accessible by just one jump from sitemap, which again makes search engines like Google, Yahoo easier to crawl.

5. Symbolic Pointers & Directory Structue:
Our directory has a good organised directory structure, with “symbolic pointing” is one of the most immportant feature our directory poesseses. we believe is one of the most important internal linking characterstic of directory structure.

for example if you want “merchant accounts” to appear in Business > Business Services > Ecommerce and in Computers > Internet > Ecommerce directories, you can either create subdirectory in one directory while the other can point as a symbolic link to it.

6.PageRank:
Our directory dont want to depend entirely of PR as we instead focus on creating quality resource than after search engine ranking.

7. Costs & Fee:
We are a very small community of persons, with limited resources started this project. We always wanted to keep this project as free. We reject about 70% of submissions. Current problems like lack of resources in funding and human factors, forces us to include paid options, we understood that we couldnt support ourself. We charge about $9.95 which we believe is not too much to ask.

8. Preventing SPAM:
We believe domain name spamming is one of the big problems many search engines face including google, besides MFA (Made for Adsense) site. We dont accept domain names with more than 3 keywords and MFA sites.

9. Quality & Trusted Sites.
The quality of a site cannot be truly measured by any search engines none other than humans themselves. This quality of a site assigned in a 10 point scale with max 9. That is our editors look for factors like (full contact address, BBB Reliability Report, SSL certs, Privacy Protected, excellent customer service live chat , toll free phone) which obviously good indicators of quality site and trusted site.

Reasons for no PR assigned to our inner pages?

… This is because we changed our entire directory structure from directory paths to static file names of directories.
