Hi Chokan,

Welcome to the forum! :D

First, I have to say it's a great looking site! It's really well cross-linked and you've made good use of alt image tags to help boost the keyword density and text content.

I think these two things have helped you get over 500 of the 560 pages Google are aware, identified as unique pages. You've also built a ton of relevant backlinks, in the short time that you've been online.

You'll have to do something to fill out those empty sub-categories though - perhaps you can invite free submissions for a short time, or maybe fill them up yourself?

Which directory script are you using? It looks like a good one!

I have a few suggestions though:

You should set up a proper 404 not found page. Yours seems to point to a "local" computer - I think the server isn't set up properly. Try entering a dummy url to see what I mean. This will be important later

It's my strong view that you are pushing your keyword density too high in too many of your title tags eg:

Food & Beverage,China Food & Beverage,Food & Beverage Products Catalog,Food & Beverage Directory,Asian Food & Beverage


It's my view that a page with that title will never rank in Google for a competitive "food and beverage" related search; maybe not even in Yahoo. I think 2 mentions of a keyword phrase in the title is enough, 3 if I'm really pushing hard, but most of your titles have 4 or 5 repeats and I'm worried you'll trip a filter.

Also, as you well know, I'd always recommend you redirect your non-www pages to the www version. I think this is especially important for a directory.

Anyway, for a site that only appears to have been online for 3 months, it's doing very well indeed!!!

Cheers,
Paz.
