Fastest way to start a Directory?
What is a good way to start getting some sites in your directory. I am just talking maybe 10 sites in each category, to get the directory started. Any ideas??

Is there a good spider i could get?? I am on a unix server, any ideas?

Thanks for any help...

Yes...Spider Pro, linked in the Resource Center...Do you know where that is? Click on the Resource Center link at the top of the forum home page.

Also, there is a RDF dump for DMOZ that is written by jcockos, HyperSeek author, and is linked in this forum and the Modification Forum.

And Bmxer is working on another Spider Mod that works more directly with LINKS 2.0.

Please try to use the forum's search engine to find Relevant Topics.

Hey Elliot.

That spider appears to only work on Windows servers. I could be wrong, this is just what it seemed like. I am on a unix server. Any ideas??

Thanks

Uh...it works in Windows systems...you can parse the data from the net to your local PC and then upload the database file to your UNIX server.

-OR-

Wait for Bmxer's Spider Mod.

Other than that...start surfing the net and collect your own links.

Best of luck with your links project!

Does anyone know when the spider mod will be functional? My niche' is narrowly defined and I have a hard time getting people to insert into the directory
