			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some fads on the Internet do fade very quickly, others fade slowly, while some remain, prosper and evolve to become a permanent feature of the Internet landscape. Small web directories (these are usually directories owned by an individual with little or no authority or recognition in the wider Internet community) is a good example of a fad that has evolved and prospered.</p>
<p style="0cm;">A typical web directory, created using one of the dozen or so directory scripts on the market, usually contain various categories and sub-categories.  The sites are listed in a category or sub category, in alphabetically order, sometimes on a first come first served basis. Some directories are based on a theme or a niche.
</p>
<p style="0cm;">Most directory themes or niches seem to have been exhausted, leading to the emergence of a new kind of directory: bid for position directory. The idea behind bid for position is quite simple, the more money you bid for your site listing, the higher your site is listed, the top ten or so highest bidders are even listed on the homepage of the directory.</p>
<p style="0cm;">This is a dramatic departure from the first come first serve basis of the traditional directory, where you pay a flat fee for your site listing but you cannot influence how highly your site is listed. Bidding directories still use categories to determine where your site is listed, but the more you bid for your listing, the higher your site is listed on the category you choose.</p>
<p style="0cm;">Gradually, the bidding directory has  gain prominence in the directory market, carving out a unique niche for itself on the Internet.  There are now several thousands examples of bidding directories online, mostly powered by one of the leading bidding directory scripts on the market. The most widely used is a free <span class="goog-spellcheck-word" style="-moz-initial;">PHP</span> based <a href="http://www.linkbidscript.com/">bid directory script</a> called Link Bid Script. Link Bid Script is search engine friendly out of the box, It is free to download, install and use. It comes with extensive support including free installation.  Link Bid Script is supported via its support forum where you can register and post your support enquiries.</p>
<p>If you every decide to be a part of an evolving established Internet fad of starting a bidding directory, Link Bid Script could be your vehicle, you can download it free of charge from the <a href="http://forums.linkbidscript.com/downloads.php">bidding directory script download</a> page.</p>
