Using *xxxxxx* is like using wild cards, so if your cat was Shop, it would only match "Shop", but if you used *Shop*, it would match Shop, Shopping, Shopper etc
This tutorial is building directory links at Tier2 level. That means the url's we are building links to are not home page. Most directories only accept home page links. So what is the success factor, specially if we focus on PR3 and above per this tutorial?
I have custom code and have a trick with directories that don't accept deep-links.
I create subdomains that equate to a deep link (have a mysql lookup table that show the cross-ref) then I present the subdomains to the directories. Subdomains are fine with link dirs. Then I do canonical to the real url.

You need to check your verified data vs. your submitted data to determine the best engines for directories.
I use it on my lower tiers and have a bunch of directory links.
Obviously this is not a big numbers posting strategy as it is a directory, but it helps get some link diversity in there.
2nd: which should not accept? maybe human moderated..
Dude, I can show you thousands of directory links on my lower tiers.
Maybe I am imagining all my links.
Wow i am surprised as well...i thought no directory in the world would ever accept some long URL with your PHPfox blog entry!
Has anybody this list of search engines? Links are broken, tried to copy/paste directly to browser, still gives an error...
thx
