free for up to a 500 page site.

4. Directory - http://www.gossamer-threads.com/scripts/links/ - A
script offered by Gossamer-Threads, Links is a great way to add
a directory to your site just like the big search engines. Offer
your visitors a full directory of human-edited links on the topic

come back when they want to find something.

5. Guestbook - http://www.geekvillage.com/guest_book/index.html -
Add a free guestbook to your site and increase visitor
interaction! Get them participating by adding their comments to
