This seems right up my ally! I could put a link directory script together for you no problem. Link directories are very important because if you build a good link drectory, your google page rank will reflect it.
I'm being realistic on the amount of time this will take. Those who are quoting 5 or so days are just pulling your chain. I will take my time and do this right the first time. Also, I am an american programmer unlike 99% of the cheap freelancers out there, so you can trust me to follow through with the project and do it right!
