Hey, when you find that drawer, let me know! Ha!

I think your ideas about “good concrete link text” is worth putting to use. I use it in my posts but not in the directories themselves.

Hmmm, sounds like another big update project!

@ Lexi – Do you have good, concrete link text in the navigation leading to your targeted content areas? You can also mention and link to background info located elsewhere on your site, using contextually related link text. That can help a lot. Without clues, search engines can’t tell as well what is on the other side of a link.

Life is a series of square pegs and round holes, and Rubik’s cubes, and knock-knock jokes. Somewhere in a drawer I know there is a good stock of round pegs and square holes, just waiting for me to add 2+2.

Actually I have made directories as you describe, probably need to update them again though. I am not sure they help with search traffic, such as Google, but they have clearly helped people with more specific interests find similar articles easily. At least my stats show it working that way.

I may have to do more keyword work. The squidoo lenses also seem to be directing traffic to the site as well.

Some of it is just being a square peg in a round hole kind of problem though…
