Well, this morning, I received a rather disturbing email. It has only 1 line and nothing else. The sender is VIGNESWARI RAMACHANDRAN and it reads “i want a job urgently . please help”.

Now that’s creepy. The email is from my business directory’s contact form and this directory has nothing to do with employment or jobs, but yet someone emailed me to help them find a job. And the funny thing he provided no information on what he is interested in, his qualifications and his location. Or maybe he is asking me for a job? Any of you go around web directories and ask them for jobs? If you do, please tell me which web directory replied and what did they say.  I mean I don’t really expect people to do to small business directories and start looking for a job by contacting the sales department. What happened to the traditional venues where people go look for employment?

Done the screenshot preview of the latest version of Phplinkdirectory. Please note that this is not an actual review of the features, I am sure that there are more additional features than what I have shown. You need to try it out yourself if you want to fully understand the power of this script.

I am sure that a lot of people don’t know that there is an SEO benefit in having good quality outgoing links from your site. Although it is rather hard to proof it, but I believe that outgoing links can be very useful for Search Engines to understand what your site (or page) is all about. And it acts like a neighbourhood/community thing. I believe that good outbound links act as a source of information for your visitors, thus the importance of outbound links should not be forgotten.

Of course, this means that you should make sure the page you are linking to is useful to your viewers and the information related to your page.
