Sounds good, directories are still an easy win for smaller or niche sites where there is not much discussion out there. II am working on a site for a carpet manufacturer, not a hot topic in the blogosphere for some reason.

RE: Studies on influence of meta description on CTRposted in Search Behavior
That's a great point from Daniel - Thumbs up! When people are paying for those words, you can bet the data is out there.
Scientific data for this kind of thing is tricky though, have you done testing of your own on your own projects? I have seen improvements for clients of around 30% with improved meta tags but it's very much a test, tweak, test, tweak, test, tweak (ad infinitum) process.

RE: Changing CMS, are there SEO effects?posted in Technical SEO
Changing the CMS itself will not cause a drop, but any actual changes to the content or structure of the pages may cause changes (good or bad).
As with Craig, I am no big fan of CMS Made Simple, have you thought about maybe migrating to one of the other open CMS platforms? Hard to advise without knowing your site and goals but WordPress can take some beating for most small business websites and Joomla! & Drupal provide options if you need more flexibility.

RE: Directory List -posted in Link Building
Rand mentioned this list is not perfectly up to date but it is a pretty good start. That said, directories should only be a small part of your overall strategy.
