    You can have a featured site once a month (or once a week)and show it

    I have changed a few things in page titles,

    For category pages, Where it would just list the category name, I have change it to,

    JYCO Directory, Category, {category_name}

    For search,

    Where it only listed search term, Changed to,

    JYCO directory, Search for {search_term}

    Tag page,

    Where it only list tag word, Changed to,

    JYCO directory, Browse by {tag_word} tag

    The pages listed are direct links to that page
    It increases traffic and pagerank
    You can do better than I because you are a directory
    To accomplish this - each page must be optimized as a separate site

    Note: what Google says about title and description
    Changing your site's title and description in search results - Webmaster Tools Help

    Also your keywords (words that people use to find your site) must be
    chosen carefully (to do this you must use a keyword suggestion tool).
    I use wordtracker the free edition
    Free keyword suggestion tool for SEO, Adwords & blogging

    If done correctly, each page can have its position and be listed under
    your webpage listing giving direct links to that page (without going
    through your index page)
    This will put you way ahead of the competition
    You need to work on the individual pages (SEO)

    You don't have listings about website SEO (search engine optimization)
    This is a very popular subject
    If you want more information on the subject - PM me

    hope this helps

    You need to do this for each page
    Each page should be optimized as a separate site
    Each page should describe that page only
    Track each page separately in an analytics tool (better to use several analytics tools - I presently use only three - more when needed)

    Your title, description and keywords
    <title>JYCO directory, Browse, Search Or Submit A Website For Free
    </title>

    <meta name="description" content="Search, Browse websites by category
    in our online directory for services, Products and websites of
    interest or submit a website for free." />

    <meta name="keywords" content="jyco, directory, browse, search,
    submit, website, websites, free, services, products, interest,
    category, categories" />

    Keywords checked in "Wordtracker"
    Free keyword suggestion tool for SEO, Adwords & blogging

    NOTE: notice the difference in singular and plural of words
    also the position of words plus singular words and multiple
    words or word phrases

    I like your listings with pictures

    I submitted my site - when submitting might want to acknowledge
    submission and automatically notify (via email) if accepted
    (just a courtesy) use software to do this

    Check your description and put the information listed in the body
    (ie Education, History,Libraries, Maps, Translation Services)
    even if you list "0" listings, change the categories (maybe 25%)
    weekly (gives a new content signal to the spiders) helps in position
    -
    Have the webmasters (voluntary condition) submit an article about
    their site and post the best ones (gives you more content)
    also publish the best ones to other sites (their are sites that accept
    articles) with links to your directory and the website on your
    directory (who wrote the article)
    It will help in pagerank, position and traffic

    In your quest for:
    - Page one in Google (for selected keywords)
    - Page rank ten in Google (backlinks)
    - Traffic on your site (appropriate keywords relevant to the content)
    and conversions ($$$ - position, color, type of ads)
    - - You MUST master the use of "Webmaster tools"
    It is very difficult to get where you want to go if you "can't see"
    - - -
    Webmaster tools (minimum required)
    - Keyword suggestion tools (I use wordtracker, there are others)
    Free keyword suggestion tool for SEO, Adwords & blogging
    - Analytics (I use several, depending on what I need)
    Google Analytics (to track adsense response)
    Google Analytics | Official Website
    - GoStats (active stats - means results are very quick)
    each page should be listed as a separate site
    GoStats Free Analytics & Website Hit Counter, Download Now
    - Website (or page) Analyzers (check meta tags and page content)
    [I use several]
    HTML Editors: a list of WYSIWYG Editors + Text editors, tutorials
    (sorry but to many to list separately - also some screenshots)
    - Google position checker (check position of site and each page)
    Google Keyword Tool - Google Position - Google Position Tool - Check Google Position

    This is just a few, but enough for a start (more later)

    for help, get a high school or college student studying computers and teach him or her how to maintain a directory (you can instruct and check over the computer - gives you more latitude in area). You can train them to be your moderators. You will probably need several (the work is voluntary)

    It will take a while to sort out 528 category descriptions & keywords, I do at mo spend at least 3 hours every day reviewing submitted sites, Updating sitemaps, Building links to site and more, Over the last 3 months or so 5000+ submitted sites (free) Paid=0 but i see it as a means to an end, Hopefully a few months down the line site may return some funds ;) for my efforts!

    All the best & thank you.
