You could increase the weighting of other pages by encouraging
the use of
<META NAME="keywords" CONTENT="...list of keywords...">
and
<META NAME="description" CONTENT="...relevent text...">
in their headers. On our site we have increased the weighting
of keywords to 200.
You might consider not indexing the directory pages atall by placing
<META NAME="robots" CONTENT="noindex">
in their headers. Links in them will still be followed, but htdig
will not index the words in them.
