Hi,

Looks good and I've added it to our list of South African search engines (http://forums.digital-m.co.za/showthread.php?p=11050).

I love the tag cloud; that's fairly unique for a search engine.

You'll need some help from Google and I'd suggest you do a bit more to make your site more search engine friendly. The most important two would be to set up a redirect from your non-www pages to their www equivalents. Let us know if you need help with this.

Secondly you have duplicate page titles on every page of your directory, which is a no no in the search engines because you'll run into duplicate content filters. Also because page titles are an important part of search engine relevance algorithms, you are missing out on a lot of potential traffic. I'd create page titles from the category eg on your accommodation > game lodges page I'd have "Accommodation | Game Lodges | SayWhere Spider" as a title.

Cheers,
Paz.
