I know this is a really stupid question but what do you call the part on your site that is like the directory, you know with all the pages that people can browse through, I am trying to find this website that makes those things for you and you just put in your links but I can't remember the website name and its hard to search for it cuase I am not sure what they are called. Thank you so much! :?:

What you described is the site’s navigational index — the visible list or structure people use to reach pages. For a business site keep the visible set small and goal-focused (a few top items), and put larger collections behind clear categories, a filter/search, or a curated index so visitors aren’t overwhelmed.

A minimal, accessible pattern to start from:

<nav aria-label="Primary navigation">
  <button id="navToggle" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="primaryNav">Menu</button>
  <ul id="primaryNav">
    <li><a href="/services">Services</a></li>
    <li><a href="/pricing">Pricing</a></li>
    <li><a href="/about">About</a></li>
    <li><a href="/contact">Contact</a></li>
  </ul>
</nav>

<script>
const t = document.getElementById('navToggle');
const n = document.getElementById('primaryNav');
t.addEventListener('click', () => {
  const open = t.getAttribute('aria-expanded') === 'true';
  t.setAttribute('aria-expanded', String(!open));
  n.hidden = open;
});
</script>

Practical tips: group links by user task, limit top-level choices (Hick’s law), and surface secondary links only when needed (accordion, flyout, or a paged index). If you accept submissions, enforce moderation, rate limits and use rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" on untrusted external links. For performance and SEO, paginate long lists, render navigation server-side when possible, and provide an XML map for search engines separate from the human-facing index. Track clicks with analytics and reorder based on real use.

For : start simple and build out. and were right to aim for simplicity. and pointed toward scripts and partner lists — if you use one, verify it outputs semantic markup and supports moderation/pagination. And take ’s SEO intuition into account: choose descriptive labels that match what users search for rather than generic ones.

Web Resources, Related Sites, those two should work for your site and displaying links.

Are you looking for a Business or Link Directory script were guests and members can submit links? I do have one running in my site written in ASP and it's available for download. However, it doesn't look as good as the one in my site. The one I'm using is version 2 which is not available for download untill I fix everything.

Free-for-all-links? Those are passee now ;)

Guestbook? That was the only one that I have not seen here.

Guys/Gals, Be sure not to name your directory with the name link, directory, or resources if you are watching for SEO.

P.S I am looking for a classy directory if anyone is selling one for a decent price.
