Hi Charles,


I have 60 sites in subfolders on my domain.info/site. They are 'packaged' php sites. As such they have no meta headings.

Is it worth the effort to submit these to directories or will they all be rejected?

Also for the long term would it be better organised like this or to put future sites in subdomains.mydomain.info?

I assume that these php sites would benefit from article submission to article directories via an appropriate article and text backlink.

Can I salvage this or is it best to scrap the lot?



Keep up the good work Charles.




Regards,



Adrian

Can I assume that this problem stumped everyone?

My first couple of domains were hosted through GoDaddy (cheap, lots of hosting space) BUT I can't host multiple domains with each account (only one) so for these websites I have chosen to make subdomains (ie niche.domain.com) extra websites.

However, this fell down when I realized I couldn't submit them to directories! Annoying! The big problem is that my initial sites weren't at all focused to a particular niche, but were designed to be "information about lots of things sites" and submitting them to directories is VERY challenging, because it's so hard to categorize them!

However, I can still use them this way by a) using the subdomain on articles that I submit to article directories and b) choosing linking partners in relevant niches and having them use my subdomains, so all is not lost!

However, there's no way I'll ever buy another "general" domain name (unless I pick up a PR5 one very cheaply )

Cheers

PS I also had a bunch of PHP encoded sites I bought (which had Adsense in them, plus Amazon etc. but I never found they went anywhere, so I scrapped them!) I don't know what your packaged sites are like, but if they were anything like mine, then I wouldn't bother submitting them. You'd have to have one per domain anyway (for the directories) and to me that's a waste of a good domain
