The directory script I am most familiar with is Indexu from nicecoder.com. Indexu has been around for a long time and luckily today Indexu is more robust than ever and produces lovely static URLs. All SEO’s know static URLs reign king over dynamic URL’s.
By static URL’s I mean:
yourdomain.com/page.html or yourdomain.com/cat/subcat/etc/ not
yourdomain.com/cat-8.php?=session9023498273kl2kd9 etc. It also allows you to include custom text
and html in every subcategory. This gives you more of an opportunity to include unique content on every page of your directory. [click to continue...]

There are many different web directory scripts out there, both free and paid. Both have advantages and I will go over some of the most popular scripts that are out there, first free than paid.
Free Directory Scripts
Free directory scripts have one main advantage… they’re free! If you are on a limited budget then these are the way to go. You can get your feet wet before diving in and purchasing a paid directory script. There are disadvantages though to using free scripts. Usually free scripts aren’t that robust, are not supported, require you to link back to the script owner’s site and a lot of the time have bugs in them. Another thing you want to be aware of is that when you do use a free directory script you run the risk of having to stick with it even after your site makes money. It can be hard to migrate data later on if you decide you want to upgrade to something more robust. So be warned. [click to continue...]
