DirectoryGold Blog Hosting Blog Aggregator

The custom script work for the web directory has now been finished. After testing, the backlog of sites to be reviewed will be dealt with.

This is how the details page looked before:

And this is how it looks now:

There are now full clickable links through the full category path to the details page. This has a number of benefits. Firstly, it's easy to see now what category a site is in. Secondly, when a new site is added and pinged, the categories leading to it will more than likely be spidered at the same time. Finally, the overall internal linking of the directory is improved, as any category with a site in it, or in a category below it, will gain at least one new internal link, and in some cases, hundreds.

Some improvements are currently in the process of being done to site details pages. Approval of new sites will be slow until this is finished.

The site has spent the past few days moving to a new server. This server is much more powerful than the previous one, so hopefully the site will now be a lot faster.

A new section has been added, DirectoryGold MySpace Tweaks

This contains various graphics, layouts and generators, suitable for sites such as MySpace or Yuwie

Whilst there isn't a huge amount of original content available yet, except for the games section, I am currently looking for generators and graphics to add.

Added a list of Affiliate Program Directories to the Webmasters section.

There are now 2,000 games in the Arcade

Well, it's now the Christmas period. Service will slow down during this time for adding links, approving articles and adding more games.

There are now 1,000 games available to play in dEfEndErs Flash Games Arcade

There are now 777 games available to play in the Flash Games Arcade

The DirectoryGold Affiliate Program has now been launched. Currently for the directory, although other areas will be added later, it is a two tier affiliate program paying 30% on the first level and 10% on the second. The program is located here: Affiliate Program

The program is still somewhat in Beta at the moment, as it gets live testing, but the amounts paid out per sale, currently $1.50 and $7.20 for level 1 affiliates, will not be reduced.
