Would someone "dew" me a favor? Show me how to write a more script-friendly URL for the latter pages of a category/subcategory, other than .../directory/000.html?sr=20&pp=20&cp=2.

I ask because when I submit my site to the typical directory, it requires the URL of their reciprocal link on my site. Its link-validation process is usually able to find the recip on the first page of category results, i.e. .../directory/000.html, but almost never on the latter pages.

And this is a problem I encounter with just about all of the directory script types: phpLD, qlWeb, eSyndiCat, etc.

Not an ideal solution, but 2 ideas come to mind

You can mark sites as featured that require the reciprocal links, and then modify
one file, include/sites.php

near line #49 locate
" order by
hits_in desc "

change to
" order by
featured desc "

This way all featured sites are shown first. Possibly you'll need to increase the number of entries per page if you have too many in one category.
