Yes, I have found an authority site which allows you to submit your balls to have it reviewed by experts in the field. If you have a new ball, you can have them rated, tested, poked and abused by these experts. Furthermore, you can read reviews on balls by other users of them balls and hear about their experiences with a particular ball. What better review than from a fellow ball user, right? And not surprisingly, it has a very complete list of balls available for sale by different manufacturers. They also have articles on techniques and ways to use your balls effectively and get the most out of it. The site is called BallReviews.com.

What? Shocked? Not what you are expecting? What type of balls do you think I was talking about? That’s disgusting. You guys are just way sick, man. I am talking about bowling balls! You know, the ones you use to knock down bowling pins by rolling them along a lane. Hard, shiny and has some holes in them for you to grip. Those kind of balls. Hey….please stop yanking mine.

This page may rank very well in Google for the word “Balls” in the near future.

Finally, this good looking directory script has came out of beta and is now Version 1. Both the free version and the paid version is out and anyone can download the free script from their website. I must admit I am pretty impressed with this powerful script. It has some interesting features anb abilities not found in other directory scripts  like a built-in ticket support system, location manager (like place/country/city), integrated user statistics page, multi-field search and a spellcheck for braindead people like me. Wow, truly amazing.  Please note that some of these features are for the paid version only, but the free version looks powerful enough for me. Although I have to say PhpLinkDirectory has some unique features which PhpLynx doesn’t have, like the very useful Article Editor and the quick category adder for lazy scums like me. Just too bad, PhpLynx script is closed source which means adding mods and other features will be difficult. However, you can customize it’s template so you can create your very own beautiful directory to boast to your friends.

I think that this Phplynx Directory Script should be able to compete with PhpLinkDirectory and take over a good market share from it. Unless PhpLinkDirectory really does something drastic and innovative, this will certainly be a strong challenger to PhpLinkDirectory. What is life without challenges right? Try it’s demo and be impressed like me. The paid version is US$85 or if you want an unbrandand version, it’s US$120 and ”free” support comes with it.

Following my previous blog post about my obsession with my websites (especially my directories) going into supplemental index, I have writen a little article on it. This follows a little research done by yours truly and hopefully it can be useful to you guys. However, please take note that this little study is not exhaustive and may have gaps or assumptions, so becareful while following these tips. I have used Alive Directory as a case study. And it seems that Aviva Directory suffers less from the supplemental index problem than Alive.  I wonder why is this so? From what I can see, Alive’s site navigation (and linkage) is slightly better from Aviva’s.

In the next few weeks, I hope to see less of my webpages in supplemental and more actually ranking for something on Google after I added more internal links between my directories’ detail pages. So every detail page is linked to 5 others in order to improve page visibility.  I have seen a lot of good pages with content not ranking very well, hope this will improve too. For god’s sake, O’ Scary and Feared One, release me from this hellhole!
