Web Directories need no introduction, however, its recent offshoot, bid for position or bid for placement web directories are so new that, they need to be introduced.

Bid for Position directories evolved from web directory customers desire to be listed in first position on web directories and sometime on the homepage of a directory.
This desire was meet when some clever webmaster created hybrid web directory, which allows customers to place link as high as they like on the listing pages or even the homepage of a bid for position directory. The position of a listing is determined by how much money you are willing to pay for your listing, the more you pay the higher your site is listed.

Because Bid directories are still growing and evolving, script for creating bid directories are just getting on the market. This article examines once of the few bid for position directory script currently on the market; Link Bid Script or LBS for short.

In 2006 when bid for position website first emerged on the directory scene, the team behind Haabaa Web Directory developed link Bid Script, originally to power A Pound a link directory, this meet with some success, which was then extended to creating Link Bid Script as a stand a long bidding directory script.

Link Bid Script was created using PHP scripting language, with popular open source database, MySQL as the back end. This makes the LBS a light but fast script to install and use.

One of the features that that distinguished Link Bid Script from other PHP based bidding directory script is that it combined the classic link bid script alphabetic listing with web directory style category listing, giving directory owner and directory users the best of both worlds.

With this post I would like to draw attention on some brilliant WordPress plugins which could make your ranking easier concerning search engines.

Providing an xml sitemap will increase the visibility of your site in Google’s index. You don’t need to use online or desktop sitemap builder applications anymore, the google sitemap generator plugin will do the job instead of you.

A static sitemap page improves the PageRank flow among the inner pages and helps your visiors to navigate in your content.

The Category Tagging plugin has an excellent feature. It make the most relevant older posts display at the end of the new publications. Besides improving the PageRank flow it makes your visitors stay longer at your site by providing suitable content for their interest.

SEO can be seperated into two basic parts. The firsts is the onpage optimization and the second one is the link popularity increase. With the next two plugins you will be able to manage both much more succesfully:

• The seo title tag plugin let you customize your title tag all around your blog.
• Jim Westergren’s link to me textbox plugin displays a html code of a link points back to your posts in a textarea so your visitor can easily grab it and insert it into their pages if they like your thoughts. For live demo you need to scroll down a little and you will see what is it all about.
