Hi There,
I'm currently shopping around for some good web directory software and I'm looking for your advice and tips. Here's a rough list of my requiremnts. The most important ones are first:

Very easy and flexible to customise - knowledge of HTML or basic PHP, ASP, is all that would be needed.
Ability to mail all memebers with their listing statistics every month.
Ability to accept plug-ins or widgets to improve functionality.
Integrated newsletter mail system.
Very SEO friendly.
Should have the ability to accept PayPal payments.
Banner advertising and Google adsense.
Can integrate Blog, forum or news section where articles can be placed.
Searchable and categories easily sortable.

I'm looking at Directory Script, Free Directory Software :: eSyndiCat Directory Software at the moment and it looks good. Any other recommendations or comments would be very welcome.
Thanks,
Bearaman

This application is written in ASP Codefixer LinksPro - Web Directory Software

Thanks for the suggestions.
Has anyone installed or used Directory Script, Free Directory Software :: eSyndiCat Directory Software before? It seems that PHPLD is more mature and better supported but just thought I'd ask about the other one.
Any other scripts or software out there that would suit my requirements listed above?
Thanks,
Bearaman
